Process Work & Post Crit

Materials - 

mic, touching it causing the light to react signifying it works


relay built with package materials, clicking signifying it works 


street light, powered by outlet and 3 wires to each color


arduino with cables attatched to gnd and 5v as well as 9, 10 , 11 for diff relays


connecting 3 relays to arduino and breadboard 


testing relays



connecting mic to arduino and breadboard


testing it on street light



soldering and stretch wrapping arduino and wires 


adding potentiometer to control volume sensitivity 



Fitting it all in a box, drilling holes in box for wiring and potentiometer


building hanger on back of street light to hang from door using metal rods, rope, hooks, and screws

final testing



testing lcd screen on breadboard before soldering


labeling wires to pins with tape to ready for soldering


soldering wires to arduino and breadboard adding shrinking wrap to keep wires together and organized


expiriencing problems with lcd screen due to short 



testing lcd screen after soldering after fixing short



testing reverse code on red light 


final look on door ready for presentation



documentation


Overall satisfied with the final process.
Feed back recieved included using different words in the LCD screen
perhaps having it switch with a relay depending on the light triggered.
Changes - red light was reverse coded and LCD screen was soldered on to give a more
visual representation of the process occuring. Conceptually I felt it added to the project more
because people were better able to interact with project by simply knocking.
A couple shorting problems occured but were able to be fixed by clipping away touching solders
