Project Ideas for LEDs and 3d Prints

My partners and I are brainstorming about projects we could make with a 3d printed design that uses LEDs:

1. 3d print a lamp that uses LEDs as bulbs

2. 3d print a water bottle that uses LED’s to tell how full it is

3. 3d print a cellphone case that uses LED’s to tell how much battery there is

4. 3d print a bracelet that lights up with LED’s

5. 3d print a necklace that lights up with LED’s

6. 3d print shoelaces that lights up at the ends

7. 3d print a zipper that lights up when pulled

Top 10

1. Lamp LED

2. LED Ball

3. Box opening LED

4. Sunglasses LED when blink

5. LED Clock

6. Light up charger to tell battery

7. Light up phone case LED

8. LED light up computer skin

9. Light up LED watch

10. Toy car lights up LED

Robotics Progress

So far during our group project in robotics, we have successfully made two motors spin while connected to an arduino and one arduino connect to our computers via blue tooth. We have done this by hooking up batteries to the bread boards, connecting the motor controls to the arduino and the motors to the bread board. On the blue tooth module, we have connected it to the arduino and the bread board. We have connected all the motors to the computers through cables. Our next step is to create a chassis and be able to control the motors with wheel through a device.

LED Lights

Today in Art and Design Justin and I learned how to make LED Light Bulbs light up using a bread board and battery. We started with the breadboard, then with the help of the video Justin and I connected the battery into the breadboard with wires, then we connected wires from the the wires to the resistors, then the resistors to the LED lights, and then the LED lights to more wires. Also, we learned how to do multiple LED lights using minimum wires and many different arrangements of the lights using the pictures and videos provided for us. We learned the differences of the positive and negative ends of wires and bread boards, how to position the wires and resistors so that the energy from the battery would flow into the LED light, and how to create multiple lights strung together using the same links of wires.WIN_20150916_084824WIN_20150916_084139

Our First Robotics

To build an rc car we will need

1. An android device

2. A diy car chasis

3. mcu controller

4. A blue tooth module

5. motor driver

6. miscelaneous items: wires, batteries, battery holders, zip ties, and etc.

7. Knowledge of the rc car and the wiring and circuitry
