Week 8 - Soft Circuit

So this week was the sfot circuit project where I decided to work alone for the first time. I felt that working alone would benefit me by forcing me to learn the coding which was my weakest aspect before.

In lab i first began experimenting with making my own button.

My button was successful and when pressed it allowed the light to shine.

For the assignment i was confident that I could do a good job with the weaving.

My idea came in the form of a hat that cyclists could use at night to be seen by others and to be safe.

The colors i decided to use were blue and red, like police sirens. It naturally drew attention.

From here i came up with the idea of placing the lights into the hat and then wiring it to a potentiometer to control on/off and also to make the light blink at different rates.

This is when the light isn't on.

The light blinking and it shows how bright it is.

Me wearing the hat. you cant see my face anymore xD
