1 archive[-al machine]
For
the final project, I'd like to make an physical archive for the work
completed in this class. Reflecting on the semester, we've learned so
many different things. Coming in with no background in electronics or
programming, I'd like to use the final project as an opportunity to
re-work some of the projects from the semester in the form of an
archive. Think of as [How to Make Almost Anything, in a box] or [the
idiot's guide to how to make almost anything.]
This past week,
I went through a couple of design ideas to figure out what I can
definitely complete.
12-containers (1-weeks' work each) with an
exterior circuit. When parts are connected, LEDs code will run
through.
GOAL
1: is
to complete the press-fit structure, along with the embedded LEDs,
and code.
(1) make wooden blocks
(2) redesign charlieplex
circuit for 12-block / RGB LED (add accelerometer? Color can change
w/ speed or orientation)
(3) vinyl cut XL circuit
(4) stuff XL
circuit onto each block
(5) figure out how to incorporate magnets
to look locations (mill, drill, ?)
(6) test circuit
GOAL
2: two
plexi-containers, press fit/etc.
(1) circuit-embedded
(2)
cnc/shopbot/3D print/cast combo (pick one, since these should be
related, perhaps possible to complete more)
notes: try either
etching, or sandblasting to see if vinyl sticks better, no vinyl,
just magnets at connection points?
GOAL
3:
finish
(1) make other plexi containters > do not have to have
material embedded, just plexi boxes?
(2) re-cut vinyl circuit,
stuff
(3) test …

Step
1 is
to evaluate the projects from each week, and decide on an overall
thematic. Having produced a first iteration of all the projects, and
considering everything I have learned thus far, I will re-produce the
work for each week. I'd like to start with 3D printing and casting;
and I've already started to re-make some of the eagle boards for the
pcb's from various weeks, (images from last week) so these, along
with instructions can be incorporate as well.
MATERIALS:
basic:
1/4”
PLEXI for press-fit
LEDs (equal number, one for each week's
container)
consider
week specific:
1
– laser cut
2 – producing the FABtiny
3 – shopbot and/or
waterjet
some
more precedents/physical computing

The
archive[-al] machine is a press-fit physical archiving system;
made to display and teach the viewer about basic concepts of
fabrication.
