Codifying personal data into a hardware interface instead of decodifying reactions based on physical aspects.
Final project. Fab Academy 2017 at Fab Lab Barcelona By Trinidad Gomez Machuca
Hardware INPUTS
Here you can see how my capacitive sensors works in Arduino and Processing. I Will do this on eagle when i finished everything.
Hardware OUTPUTS
As you can see I'm planning to have only one kind of input, in this case i will use capacitive sensor, a touch pad that triggers something, and for the outputs i want to have leds, servos, air pomp, water pomp and heat a nichrome wire.
// Servo: is for moving something in the mask or make a servo valve that allows to inflate different parts of my mask with only one air bomb.
// Leds: is for see a fast output in the site is readting because the bomb air will take some time.
// Nichrome wire: is for heat the material that I will use for the change the color of the mask. I will mix the ecoflex with a special dust that has Thermochromic properties, this will allow my mask to change the color depending on the temperture.
// Bomb air: is for inflate the mask
// Bomb water: is for put cold water inside so i can reverse the reaction of the nichrome wire. At the end of my project, i didn't have time to experiment, i had a lot of problems with the nicrome wire and with the air pomp, but i realize of something, i wanted to manipulate water in my mask but i didn't know how to take out the water, the water pomp that i found was a water pomp for cars, so this one, only take the water from somewhere and put in other side, one week before the final presentation of the academy, i saw some else project that was manipulating water and this person toldme about Peristaltic pomp, if this one you can programe to pull and take out the water, or you can use two, one for take in the water, and other that take out the water. I already bought it, I'm very excited because I've never used this one, so when I had time I'll start working with this one.//////////////////////////////
Water pomp.
// Iot: I really want to experiment with this but i will do it only if i have time, honestly i don't know nothing about electronics so i hope i can do it. For the Iot device, i wanted to use for controlling the nicrome wire, so this one will be connected to the internet, i was planning to conect it to a twitter o fb and i can use this as another variable, like show how many tweets do you have and showing in the face.////////////////////////
The purpose of having a lot of outputs is to show different data. Every part of the mask will mean something. For example, if one part change the color it will mean that this area is activated because the person is happy. Yeah, something like this hahahahaha.
Software
I would like to use Python or processing. Here you can see my assignment where i programmed my interface in processing for my final project.
