Riyas P.K-Fab Academy 2016
Applications and Implications
The assignment for this week is to plan and document a final project that integrates the range of units covered. We also needed to answer a series of questions about this project.
What will it to do?
It is a music rhythm LED lighting box.It uses a attiny 45 micro controller,the led lighting effect is made by reading sound values from an analog input pin.
who's done what beforehand?
I have seen some similar projects from previous fab academy students as well as other internet sources.Here is some of them:
Fab Led by Britov Denis
Penta-Tone by Liron
City Factory by Kate Balug
Music Led Light Box by motadacruz
What materials and components will be required?
6mm transparent Acryic sheet
Plywood
Dimension elite 1200ss ABS filament
Attiny 45 and other electronic components, battery,LEDs.
Glue gun
Aux cable-male to female
Where will the materials come from?
Mostly from fablab inventory items and rest from local store.
How much will it cost?
I would like to keep the cost less as possible, because it is a fun project.
2 X 6mm transparent acrylic sheets ~ $10
Microcontroller and other electronics parts ~ $5
ABS filament ~ $6
Miscellanious items ~ $2
What parts and systems will be made?
Except elctronic components all other parts will be made.
What processes will be used?
Computer-aided design- design frame and 3D printing parts
Computer-controlled cutting - laser cut parts
Electronics design
Electronics production
Embedded programming
3D printing
What tasks need to be completed?
Design and produce the electronic circuit, write a program for it.Design and 3D print a part which is useful to the project.
What questions need to be answered?
How to read sound inputs and convert it to rhythm for led?
What part to be 3D printed?
Will the battery enough as power source?
What is the schedule?
First make the frame and then take more time for electronics design and also for learning more programming.Only after completing these, spent time for part to be 3D printed.
How will it be evaluated?
Has the LEDs blinks according to the music rhythm?
Has the whole project looks fun and entertaining, also the cost is kept low?
