On this day Kaj, Jan and I went to pick up our wood for the installation. We need special flexible wood because our installation is round. Normal wood is difficult to bend that’s why we need to get this type of wood. The wood was also cut for us so that was very handy and…

Reflection
The Project In my opinion this was one of the most interesting projects of study. I really liked working full time on the same project. It allows you to focus on it completely without the distractions of other projects and subjects. It also was very helpful for learning about collaborarting in a team. The main…
Token Design and Print
To measure our value we are giving passerby tokens. I have designed and printed them. Had the five shapes to represent out categories. My first few prints where unsuccessful, but with the help of Ibrahim I was able to print them. The tokens will be collect at the end of the project from each shop…
LED strips
The LED strips we will be using for this project are the WS2801 LED strips. The reason for this is that this is an adressable led strip. Each led in the strip should be adressable seperatey, since every podium on our installation should be able to light up seperately. We bought 2 meters of strip,…
Poster
A part of our campaign was to disturb posters around the city. I took on the task of creating a poster that drawer attention and hinted to our installation. I experimented with my layout using the graphic language I created till I made something that everyone seemed to be happy with. Kaj helped me to…
Technical Progress
During sprint 3 I mainly focussed on getting the sensors and LEDs to work. Getting the sensors to work took a while but it works fine now. Like I said in previous post we are able to make 16 states with 4 LDRs. First I needed to be able to read the values of the…
Sensor Prototyping
In order to have users select one of our special places, we need sensor input. Our first idea was to use 15 light sensors (LDRs). One for each place. But since these values might be unpredictable because of different light circumstances, we then wanted to replace these sensors with microswitches. These would cost around 1-2…
Testing the light
Today we are working on the hardware. We are testing what kind of light we can use inside the platforms in the installation. We tried a 10mm LED, but we fond that if you cover the top with a mat piece of plastic, you will see the 3 different colors separated. So this did not…
3-D printing testing
Kaj and I began 3-D printing the models to see if the design where feasible, affordable, the designs worked and be used for the models for all teirs of our installation . With this I learned when creating the designs, that I should not have things extruding to much and to have very little to…
Design Document
For the Design Document I used the MoSCoW method to figure out what the core of our concept is and what is optional. I also made a State Transition Diagram to show what kind of states our installation will have and how and when the installation switches from state to state. The rest also worked…
