Studio in Creative Tech

This week I was able to get all of my electronic components prepped for them to be included into the plan for my mirror. I received helped from David which was very helpful because he helped me get started programming my neo-pixels. I used a 24 be-pixel ring, uno Arduino, mic sensor, and a mini breadboard. The change in planned materials may affect the engineering of my project.  I was able to get my neo-pixels programmed to the point where  all of the pixels light up in blue when the microphone picks up different levels of amplitude. This next up coming week, I am going to be testing different lotus reiterations, the shape of the mirror, and finding constructive ways to conceal the Uno Arduino. via GIPHY

This week's update is pretty short: I took the time to order the rest of my materials for my project. I ordered: Flora Board Microphone sensor I began outlining potential shapes for my mirror, by making various outlines for it. In class Monday, while I wait for my materials to arrive, I will test out different mirror outline, that I would be interest in. Contact update:  I am still in the process of getting in contact with Mr. Biggers to ask for certain permissions and if this concept/project could be used in Harlem. Classroom Feedback: I decided too change my micro controller to a Flora, instead of Gemma 0, since I have more experience with flora and it is possible for it to be support the microphone and the Neopixel ring. Also, I am super appreciative of Erin providing me with a be-pixel rings, which is one less material that I have to purchase and wait on. Now that I have the main components to test the interactive part of my project, I will waste less time waiting...
