Infinity Mirror Dodecahedron

Image
This was a fun project I made after building the infinity table and being happy with the results. In this project, I learned how to design a PCB and got a little bit more experience with electronics, Arduino programming, and Fusion 360. By putting 12 reflective acrylic pentagons in a dodecahedron shape sticking 420 LEDs inside I made the infinity effect shown in the pictures. 

Bloom - Kinetic Art Zoetrope

Image
In this project I tried to make a " bloom " similar to the ones created by John Edmark. I used Matlab to generate the files which I post process in Fusion 360. This project was somewhat successful, I was able to get the zeotrope effect in some areas of my model but other parts looked like a flickering blur. 

Infinity Mirror Coffee Table

Image
In this project, I made a programmable "infinity mirror" coffee table for my parents with almost 600 individually programmable LEDs. This project greatly expanded my knowledge of Arduino programming and the limitations of using Arduinos for similar projects. The final product turned out amazing, I was really happy with the results and even managed to make the table wifi controlled using the open-source WLED mobile app.

Arduino Controlled Chime Machine (RIT - MECE 104)

Image
This was a project I worked in MECE 104 - Engineering Design Tools. In this project groups of 4 built chime machines with at least 6 notes to play a song of their choice. I was the programmer for my group and got a good introduction to Arduino programming and motor control. Final chime machine We chose to play  Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver because it only required 6 notes and the beat wasn't super fast. At the end of the project, all 32 groups voted on the best chime machines. Our machine was one of the 6 selected to play at the Imagine RIT event in the fall.
