For connection I used 3 potentiometers pinned to A0, A1 and A2. And the processing code: // This example code is in the public domain. import processing.serial.*; float redValue = 0; // red value float greenValue = 0; // green value float blueValue = 0; // blue value float xPos=0; float yPos=0; […]
The speaker in general can consists from the following parts: – a coil (thread,wire …) – a neodymium magnet – a vibrant material (plastic, fabric, paper …) I wanted to design home made coil. By researching interesting ideas and designs I run into optimize coil design made by Plusea. My design approach for workshop was […]
I took apart a small speaker. It is made of a magnet ring, a metallic part (in the middle of the ring), a plastic holder, plastic membrane and a copper wire as a coil. Copper wire (profile: 0,1 mm) is 140 cm long and at least 50 times curled to form the coil. The coil […]
We built a 7×7 LED matrix that can be controlled by Charlieplexing, a form of multiplexing. 49 LEDs can be adressed seperately while only using ten pins. Our initial idea was to use the matrix to play animations, kind of like a low-resolution display. We also thaught about ways to translate an input of a […]
The idea was to create a soft switch made of textile. As long as your hand lies on the woven switch a connection is made. By taking the hand away the connection comes to a halt. Here a video demonstrating the process: cashmere_switch The light object consists of four LED that slowly charge while two […]
Light could be flexible and haptic. Integrate electronic into soft materials to bring a new configuration of the object and new perception for users. This week we used the table loom to weave and try to embed lighting unit into the textile in a simple way. I took a EL-wire and woven it with thread […]
For the challenge of creating an interactive light object I decided to experiment with weaving side emitting fiber optics to create an entire fabric that reacted from a sensor. First using the table top loom, I weaved a 20×20 cm sq of fabric, using the side emitting fiber optics in the weft and cotton in […]

“Makey Makey is a nice and fun Open Hardware project, developed by Mit researchers Jay Silver and Eric Rosenbaum. It’s an Arduino based project that could get started through crowdfunding. Basically you can turn any conductive surface into a sensor: bananas and other fruit/vegetables, cutlery, water, metal tools, conductive dough, human skin…When you connect to […]
