Final Project: Final Result

Image
Project Statement: Our project represents the narrative of Lord Rama and Sita's return home after Rama's conquest over the demon king Ravana. This is one version of the story of Diwali, which is the festival of lights. We decided to incorporate this theme into our project by making a light box to tell the story of Diwali. The box design itself incorporates design elements from Hindu temples and pooja stands. Within the box, we have four layers of balsa wood made to depict Lord Rama and Sita's triumphant return in a chariot, which is celebrated with the lighting of diyas. Holes in the balsa wood that line the pathway represent diyas and a neopixel strip behind the balsa wood layer flickers to represent the light coming from the diyas. To achieve the effect of fire, we randomized the brightness of each of the pixels behind the pathway. Pixels not behind the path are a collection of static colors that flow to convey the joyousness of the event. Initially, this scenery is cover...

Project 3 Programming Practice

Connecting servo motors: Code to move servos: from servo import Servo import time   sg90_servo = Servo(pin=26)  #To be changed according to the pin used servo2 = Servo(pin=22) while True:     sg90_servo.move(135)  # turns the servo to 0°.     servo2.move(45)     time.sleep(1)     #sg90_servo.move(90)  # turns the servo to 90°.     #servo2.move(90)     #time.sleep(1)     #sg90_servo.move(180)  # turns the servo to 180°.     #time.sleep(1) Code to make servos wiggle with proximity sensor: from machine import Pin from servo import Servo import utime import time trigger = Pin(27, Pin.OUT) echo = Pin(28, Pin.IN) sg90_servo = Servo(pin=26) def ultra():    trigger.low()    utime.sleep_us(2)    trigger.high()    utime.sleep_us(5)    trigger.low()    while echo.value() == 0:        signaloff = utime.ticks_us() ...

Project 1 Continuation: 3D Printing

Image
 Claws: submitted form to have these printed by makerspace staff Claws turned out great, just needed some sanding Intended to be a press fit, but some sizing was off - likely a measurement error on my part Printed rings with loops, but did not end up using them as they didn't fit properly Printed rings next to mannequin hand Armor: printed with Alyssa to learn how to print onto fabric Alyssa helped me print the sample, but I managed to print the piece I used on my own - very excited about the possibilities of printing on fabric! Designed a scale configuration, but didn't end up using, as the configuration was larger than the print bed available (8"x8") Print took 10 hours, was picked up this morning Printed 3 layers, then paused the print to put the fabric down with tape, then restarted the print and just let it run Ran into issues with the fabric being pulled to the side so that it didn't reach one row of scales - attempted to patch with more fabric, worked with ...
