Shadow Box
G got the arduino figured out for the servos. We now have a smooth movement and it's easily controlled by two pots. We got our laser cut mylar, attached to the motors and the projections were quite beautiful.
G's proud arduino board
Testing with two servos for now.
Projection
To come:
G is in Texas for the SouthBySouthWestInteractive for SpringBreak, I will connect more servos onto this structure. He had programmed pins 0-5, which gives us 6 in total. We have enough textures to experiment with but it's quite obvious that the simple ones work the best. I will also program the superbright LEDs to get a PWM code going so that the lights fade in and out with the movements.
More to come.

Shadow Box Update 03.04.06
Gilad and I met up to continue working on our shadow box.
We had our LEDs shipped from Hong Kong, had our sample pieces of mylar cut up and our servo motors programmed in a contained frame.
Gilad had been successful at getting the arduino board to work.
Some images from the testing.

SMSSmartWatch First Meeting Spring 2006
Dan, Alex, Cat and I met up at ITP. Our first meeting since the break.
- data to start with first
- bluetooth to PIC
- JAVA to SMS
FlowChart
- user interface for the user: we should give the choice for the user to choose the colors for the messages
- apply a score based tagging- as the negative messages come up, the positive message scores will go up
- JAVA - bluetooth- PIC
- SMS- bluetooth messages
-JAVA - serial out- bluetooth
Workload
Alex: J2ME framework app
Dan: Data structure and filtering data, parsing
Min: Bluetooth serial to PIC

SmsSmartWatch 03.04.06
Alex, Nanna and I met up to discuss our progress and thoughts.
Inspired by the bluetooth watch for mobile phone users, we have decided to design and build the wrist part of a watch that will have surface mount LEDs embedded into it.
More to come.
Dragon skin experimental
Watch form? LEDs embedded? SMD
Design out the watch model using maya with Eric. 3d printer?
