For my project I will create a cube, roughly 4×4 inches that has LED’s on each face. The LEDs will be controllable with scripts, allowing the project to be expandable. The patterns generated by the LEDs may be for visual stimuli or may convey information such as projecting a specific pattern based on the current weather.
This project is inspired by Micah Elizabeth Scott’s Triangle Attractor.
Progress so far:
I have modeled a rough draft of the structure for the cube.
I have 3d printed one side of the cube.
I ran into some challenges with the printing, as you can see in this picture, the inside of the individuals did not print correctly. I will have to make some changes to my design.
Next steps:
- Wire LEDs into first side
- cut acrylic squares to go on the cube faces
- print more sides of cube
- continue to assemble cube
- begin writing scripts
