Project 1

Module 1

For this module we were tasked with two different activities and then two final circuits. For activity 1 we were creating at least 5 paper circuits using basic materials such as led lights, coin cell batteries, copper tape, and more. For the second activity we were tasked with observing interactions in our environment, with objects and wearing items. Taking these interactions we were then tasked to create visualizations for potential circuits involving switches.

Activity 1

The materials for a basic circuit laid out The LED and battery are now taped in place The circuit working Setup for a parallel circuit LED and battery now taped in place for the parallel circuit The LEDs are not strong, here is a close up of before it is on to see that it does work The circuit is closed and now the lights are on, just very dimly Trying a new material, aluminium foil Works with a switch as well Different ways to create a battery holder with binder clips as ways to connect a circuit The other side of the battery holder Playing around with paper clips in a circuit Trying to create a circuit with graphite Placing the battery and LED light onto the graphite circuit Swapped the 3V battery to 9V battery, the LED light barely flickered on Tried a new LED and the same 9V battery, different graphite circuit, light turns on Retrying the parallel circuit Another angle of the parallel circuit Light flickering on in the parallel circuit The sewed battery holder out of fabric Materials laid out to try and make a battery holder out of fabric Materials laid out to try and experiment with conductive paint Initial painted circuit with conductive paint The painted circuit working with a 9V battery and blue LED light A different angle of the painted circuit

Activity 2

A basic office stapler The stapler closed The claw clip The claw clip opened The desk phone, receiver in hand The desk phone with the receiver in place The desk drawer closed The desk drawer opened The side view of a croc shoe The side view of the same croc shoe, now put into sport mode Stapler circuit diagram, circuit is open when stapler is open When the stapler closes shut and staples something, the circuit is closed and the light turns on A diagram showing the claw clip open and closed without a circuit A diagram showing the circuit in the claw clip, activates lights when closed A diagram showing the desk phone before the circuit is closed A diagram showing the circuit closed and the lights on in the desk phone Open drawer sketch The circuit closes when the drawer is opened, lights up the inside of the drawer Diagram of the crocs circuit, lights up at the front when put in sports mode A better diagram of the switch and circuit for the crocs A diagram showing how the circuit would be incorporated into the stapler A diagram showing how the circuit would be incorporated into the claw clip A diagram showing how the circuit would be incorporated into the desk phone A diagram showing how the circuit would be incorporated into the desk drawer A diagram showing how the circuit would be incorporated into the croc shoes

Project 1

Final Project 1 Design

Wearable Interactive Affordance Based Circuit

I incorporated the circuit into the claw clip.

Light turns on when clip is closed and turns off when it is open

Non-Wearable Interactive Affordance Based Circuit

Box circuit, light turns on inside box when it is opened.

box has copper tape going around, turns light on when box is open
