Understanding more sensors : Ideas & Project Inspo

Understanding more sensors : Ideas & Project Inspo

In my research and experiments on sensing motion, I’ve come to discover there are many ways to sense motion, and it’s probably best not to use an actual ‘motion sensor’ The Theremin is an electronic instrument controlled without physical contact, thus it is a real world example of motion sensing parts taking input and giving an output.  Take a look/ listen!  The theremin was invented in 1919 by…

More than one way to Arduino

More than one way to Arduino

Arduino does not just come in one form.  There are several you can choose on depending on what you want! Here’s a few I’ve used: Arduino Uno- the classic, a great starter Arduino for tinkering    Arduino Mega- very similar to Uno but has more pins and capacties LilyPad- besides being prettier and smaller this Arduino is often used for wearable projects as the pins can be sewn to with conductive…

LED Strips

LED strips are amazing!  They are lengthy, bright, affordable and easy to manipulate and control.  They are made of flexible PCB material and can be cut at increments. There are two main kinds – strips whose LEDs are individually addressable, and strips in which all LEDs are addressed at the same time.   What you need : LED strip – there are so many kinds and the way you hookup and control will…

Stepper Motors

  A stepper motor is a very magical motor.  That is because it works through electromagnetism. The shaft of the motor is mounted with a series of copper coils and magnets.  The copper coils are charged by an electric current in a sequence in order to activate and deactivate the magnets.  These forces of attraction and repulsion work to spin the motor! you may have done electromagnet experiment…

Lights and Sound

  Next on my list is to get LED lights to interact with sound! Here’s a great tutorial that has really inspired me.

Inspiration

I love Shih Chieh Huang’s sculptures! He utilizes lights and motors and other electronic/mechanical components to make art installations that are like organisms of another world!    FROM : http://www.messymix.com/

LEDS+Sensors

So now’s the time for starting some real interactivity with lights and sensors!  Again my goal is to create sculptures with embedded lights and sensors that react according to the environment. there’s a lot of cool sensors out there! such as: tilt sensor, vibration sensor, laser head sensor, sound sensor, temp sensor, motion sensor, soil moisture sensor, flame sensor, clock module, path  For a…

I'm one step closer to the interactive light sculpture of my dreams ➰proximity sensor + rgb LED #progress #arduino #artduino #nerdClub #NEXIS (at School of Information Studies at Syracuse University)

LEDs 101

LED = Light Emitting Diode advantages over incandescent light sources = lower energy consumption, longer lifetime,  smaller size, and faster switching, variety of color and controlling capabilities! RGB LED  = LED containing one red, one green and one blue LED PWM = post width modulation is a technique used (in/with Arduino) for controlling the brightness of the LEDs RGB basic hookup +code:…

this is an amazing trick... would like to incorporate this into a sculpture, a viewer would have to interact with a component and spin to get it started and then could be surprised by the way it ‘takes off’

cute lil lighting project inspo

I’m disappointed this looks so much prettier in person 👩🏼‍💻 -DIY twinkle ceiling night light !!💘💘 - it shines all the way to the ceiling and you could cut out small hearts or shapes that could show but I didn’t have big enough lights for that :) - I don’t really think this needs more explanation but if you guys want a tutorial video I’ll make one just let me know - I love this (finally my own content like yaaasss bless😘🙋🏻) xoxo💘

fairies and mechanics and robotics and sparkles?! aka most of my favorite things

i want to build mechanical wings with lights and laser cut components

[zizistudio]

modular parts & geometry are two of my favorite things!

really important concept and design.  ive never seen a motor incorporated into wearable electronics and i love it! I want to build a wearable wing with motors, sensors and LED lights 

The project my group made for today’s exhibition; HUSH. It’s a helmet with a panel in the front that people can tweet at to make close at any time. It’s a comment on how we talk to people online as opposed to face-to-face, and how easy is is to shut people off with even a small gesture. Made using an Arduino and a stepper motor by my group and I, modeled by me ✨

LED hues of blues and oranges are my favorite
