Post #2

First Team Meeting:
11/5/13
Tuesday 2pm, Perry 311
All team members present

Summary:

Discussion and brainstorming continued of project ideas. The idea of a music visualizer was chosen as a key part of the overall design. A microphone will be used as the input sensor to control a LED array and possibly motor speed. A solid model will be 3D printed and controlled by a motor to provide further visual entertainment.

The following two YouTube videos were used as starting points in brainstorming. The idea of a 3D LED cube seemed very appealing while the pen movement mechanism provided a practical solution to the project requirement of having motion options.







The following image is a rough schematic of the project idea.

 

 

For next meeting come up with potential ideas for solid model to be controlled by motor.
