Light Wk 8-9: DMX Controller
This week I tried to play around with the DMX lights on the ITP floor. I used the Elation Platinum Spot Pro II. Here are the steps I went through to control the DMX lights. a.) Getting the right cables was half the battle. It was important to get the ENTEC cable, the XLR cable […]
Energy Wk 6-7: Solar, Cool Bunny
Final Piece: Solar energy will power the wireless communication device and temperature/humidity sensor. When an unhealthy (for the bunny) combination of high temperature and high humidity is measured, the feather RF will communicate to the other feather RF to use the relay to turn on the fan. The fan will then be used to cool […]
Light Wk 7: Light Observations
Tuesday, 3/26/19, 4:50pm 721 Broadway, Fabrication Shop 5pm is the best time to work in the wood shop. Light beams in from the upper left corner of the window because the sun is setting in the south east and the window faces east. It’s kind of a mess in there, but the way the light […]
Energy Wk 6: Budget + MVP
1.) Energy Budget Google sheets of energy budget: here — 2.) Solar Panel: I measured open circuit voltage, short circuit current I also charged my lithium ion battery with the solar panel. — 3.) MVP: Power temperature sensor with solar panel 4.) Try Feather RF: still figuring it out Helpful resources for energy […]
Light Wk 6: Observation
03/03/19, Sunday @ 11:35AM Chelsea Market, Manhattan, NY From the color, the form, the light that is cast, it is clear that there are over 3 different types of light sources from this point of view. On the right, the warm light is coming from the timeless incandescent bulbs. In the middle of the roof […]

Subtraction Wk 6: CNC Final
See final with all the interaction and light fixture in the light blog. For my second attempt at joinery, I needed to redesign the dimensions so that the joints fit well. This took 3 separate attempts to get right! 1.) First attempt using new dimensions of just a rabbet joint. b.) The CNC worked well enough […]
Playful Communication Wk 5: Conceptual
Below are some rough sketches of the overall exhibit design and interactive concepts that our team (Dylan, Maya, Mingna, and I) came up with after brainstorming and meeting with Dr. Rampino.
Energy Wk 5: Solar
Assignment: Measure the power used when the platform running different operations. They will be the basis for an energy budget for your project. So, I ran into issues with using the 6V solar panel, I didn’t have screw terminals nor the right jack on hand. As an alternative, I decided to solder my own small […]
