Chaser Lights, Sequence LEDs and more. We want to experiment as a Coding 2 class with addressable LED's which code be coded. Unfortunately they do not make a clear lens for the 3rd brake light on a Mazda Mx-6 so we experimented with the stock red lens. This project was set up as a F.A.I.L. First Attempt In Learning which was 88% student driven including most decisions. This meant that if students had an idea I would let them try it without giving them advice or telling them how to do it. Student thinking and problem solving was the big drive.
Student Presentations
Coding Class Project 2024 - Students were testing coding the light by itself.
Students observed that the red lens acts as red tinted filter. It would allow light to pass through, but the color spectrum of the RGBW appear to be a specific color of red. Theory; this filter can either absorb or reflect the light color spectrum and it should not pass, because it absorbs or reflects all other colors.
Using a clear epoyx to fill the inside of the brake light lens.
