I have decided to make this project for a class assignment (Interaction Design, MMU 2017) because it seems like it is on my level of knowledge. This is my first time working with all of the equipment listed.
THINGS NEEDEDFirst i start with the things needed
I then assemble the things accordingly
Mirror Film cut into circles (according to petri dish size) and pasted on a polystyrene (Cut into 1x1 ratio) and then wrapped with a translucent plastic to make it cleaner
I then solder the three jumper wires to the LED strip.
Green - DO
Red - +5v
Black - GND
Paste the weather strip inside of the Petri Dish like shown before inserting the LED strip as shown above
Place the LED strip inside and paste it upside down on top of the already wrapped base. I used UHU power glue to make it stick.
CODINGLoaded the codes into the Arduino IDE
set up R, G, B variables that we can send to the LED strip.
reading the accelerometer values from the Curie IMU, and convert the x, y forces into an angle.
divide the circle of angles into regions we can use to control the colors.
I then insert the respective wires into their slots.
Red (+5v) - 3.3v
Black (GND) - GND
Green (DO) - -6
The back side looks like shown above
And that is it!
