Prototype Set up

I set up all the functions on the black board by placing them on the right positions and I wanted to show the path of interaction by putting them in real sizes.
I will take a video for the user scenario.
It looks organized! And, I'm glad that it works fine!! I'm working with Ben Chao now on the coding part!







It is more and more crazy and complicated but organized!

Tri-colored Leds will be used with Fiber Optic Panels


Xbee setup

I cut the black board to measure the real size. This is side view


This is front view

IR sensor and Servo motor for "Emotion" flower


IR sensor and Touch sensor(QT113)


White super bright Leds light up for "Loyalty" flower


MiniUSB and Arduino setup on breadboard


Instead of using switches, I replaced them with pressure sensors for the knee and hand down gesture.

Arduino on breadboard


AD5206, digital potentiometor, Tri-colored Led's best friend




My previous project, "Emotion" setup


I set up the main concept "Loyalty" with two switches first for the test

When I setup this breadboard for the first time, I already got muscle tension because I can expect lots of work


I setup touch sensor(QT113) and IR sensor on arduino


Set up for IR and Servo




I needed to set up arduino on breadboard because I have a bunch of ATmega8 chips
