While building the model, I also wanted to help my group mates.
MONDAY 2ND DECEMBER
AMELIE'S ARDUINO WATERFALL
Amelie was trying to recreate the idea of a glowing/interactive waterfall using ardino and 3D printing methods. The blue lights will flicker in a downward direction like raindrops, which is intended to be relaxing to look at. First she printed the waterfall, then coded the arduino. We sewed led's to fabric and connected it to a circuit playground, and after a few trial and errors we made it work, for the most part. We spent a few lessons trying to achieve this.



FRIDAY 6TH
FOREST BRIGDE
I wanted to recreate Amelie's idea of a tree bridge into our model to pass over the river, similar to those in Meghalaya, India.
Meanwhile it was her turn resewing the lights, I began 3D modelling the bridge in Nomad using these references loosely, for Amelie to then print off in miniature size.
Neither the bridge or the Arduino waterflall end up happening, since the first 3D print broke and Amelie was off sick, so we could not continue without her skills. But I'm glad we experimented with these ideas because it's still valuable experience.
