My geometric shape meets all eight of the project requirement/ constraints that apply to my prototype so far.
My prototype is made out of six cardboard triangles the the dimensions of each triangle are 4" on the two short sides and 5.5" on the longer side. I cut the pieces using a paper cutter and cut three 4" by 4" squares out to make the triangles.
My project is freestanding on any surface no matter what way you place it. My design is made entirely out of triangles which makes it unique and interesting. It currently is using 14 LEDS The lights go around in a circle and then they will blink as one depending on the quadrants they are in. The shape fits neatly into the corner of a 12 by 12 piece of cardboard. and there is a trapdoor like thing on the bottom to have access to the electronics.
I have determined my angles at which my triangular pieces will connect, Because all my triangles are equal in size all of the shorter sides will be cut at a 45 degree angle. While the longer sides will lay flat on one another
This is a dry fit of my geometric lamp taped together so I will know what pieces fit together best.
Now I have a trail of copper wire so the LED's can connect to it to create a circuit for the energy to run through.
Now the LED's are all in their holes and are hooked up to the copper wire and can light up when connected to the arduino
It will be attached to the side that has no LED's next to one of the sides because the wires naturally go in that direction
These are requirements your sound box must meet
I am making a sound amplifier for an iphone
Here are the steps of creating your sound amplifier
I followed the tutorial for the ways to draw and cutting out a circle from the speaker
My speaker works with a cylinder that goes around the speaker at the bottom of the phone that focuses the sound waves into to focal points of two cones that will amplify the sound to make it louder
The volume of the cylinder that the phone slips inside of has a volume of 15.71in^3 and the two cones that are made to amplify the sound each have a volume of 47.12in^3 so the overall volume of my speaker is 109.95
