1. What did you do?
- Purchased my roving and all of my felting supplies
- Began dye tests
- Worked on refining the lightning program
- Received my small boards and MOSFETs
2. Problems
- The roving is turning out to be more of an issue than anticipated. I started with a huge ball of roving:
- Than I applied my dyes, using a color scheme of grey and a dark grey/purple to create the storm cloud effect. This was the outcome:
🙁
- Obviously, some additional work is needed.
3. Successes
- I tested my wiring plan and I am able to power each 15 led “cloud” off of a single pin.
- I refined the lightning program to give a more realistic stutter effect.
- The programming was so successful, that I’ve decided to add a knit stretch sensor to control the storm intensity via gesture.
4. Schedule?
- Still doing reasonably well.
5. Next Week?
- I have major goals to be completed by the end of Thanksgiving:
- Dye all roving
- Felt yardage
- Drape and sew gown
- Create stretch sensor
It’s going to be a busy week!
