Welp, here's the tricky thing: View all updates for this Hacking Philips Hue project here. In order to change the colors of the gradient lightstrip, I NEED to use V2 of the Philips Hue API because V1 of the API is unaware of the gradient functionality. It just doesn't see...
Planning to combine the PIR Sensor and the Arduino / Philips Hue Sketch Next challenge: combining the example code for the sensors with the HueBlink example. Here's the simplest version I can think of: Version 1: When the sensor is triggered (the input pin is HIGH) then change the HUE light...
Phew, Hue Version 2! I just went down a rabbit hole of reading about the Philips Hue API and the new V2. In one post it mentioned that V1 didn't have support for Gradient lightstrips - and that's my whole project! So here I go learning about V2. Getting Started...
What sensors should I use to detect my presence? View all updates for this Hacking Philips Hue project here. I asked the Element 14 community for their suggestions about motion or presence detectors, and here are a few that were recommended: Proximity & Ambient Light Sensor/Infrared Emitter I2C ($13.30 each) PIR...
I'm Hacking Philips Hue Lights for a project for Element 14 Presents, and I'm asking for help! View all updates for this project here. Read The Blog Post on Element 14 I'm working on my next project for Element14 Presents which involves hacking the Philips Hue Lighting System. I need your help...
THIS IS A "WORK IN PROGRESS" POST. I am currently working on this project and taking notes here. Feel free to read along, but please excuse any incomplete thoughts or random links as I am using it as a personal reference. Stay tuned for more! TechnoChic DIY Tech-CraftsGaga LED MaskFollow...
A spectacle of bike lights. My goal is to make a music responsive LED NeoPixel light display for my bike. I'm a part of a group of bicycle enthusiasts in downtown Jersey City (Yeah BikeJC!) and we go on light-up night time bike rides in the summer with hundreds of...
Courses about shoe/sneaker design from the University of Oregon
Microcontrollers Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 It connects easily to other Arduino products and is configurable using Arduino software — and you don’t need to be a network expert. This is the newest version of the MKR 1000 WIFI, but with an ESP32 module on board made by U-BLOX. Arduino Nano...
Tap Sensor - V2 Thicker traces, better wire placement, better machine settings for copper tape. Process for copper traces transfer process. I didn't have contact paper so I used tape. I would recommend getting some contact paper. :p Soldering the wires: Assembling the pieces: Acrylic Copper traces Velostat Copper Traces...
Prototyping Process - The Shoe Prototyping Plan for the Tap Sensors: Create Matrix Sensor in the shape of a tap Test with existing code from Matrix/Processing Example Create a Processing sketch mapped to the sensor’s visual appearance to prove the sensor is showing zones of impact on the tap Define...
Brainstorm: Defining Tap Movements Toe Tap Toe Scrape Tip Toe Heel Drop Heel Dig Mute What will I need to differentiate between these? How will I handle the cut off? Just like a cymbal, a tap rings out if it is left in the air after a hit. If the...
Digital Tap Shoes Midi Controller Tap Shoes designed specifically for tap dancers. Why? Tap dancing is a rhythmic and artistic augmentation to music through dance. This project is to expand and redefine the capabilities of Tap Dance for creating and supplementing music. What is it? A system to create multi-instrument...
History of Electronic Tap Dance Projects This post is a work in progress - It's a collection of all the Digital Tap Dance Projects that I know about. Do you know of one that isn't listed? Please tell me about it. My first inspiration: "Tap" I was probably about 12...
