Adem’s final project

I have decided to go forward with my glass idea!

my idea is about my previous glass project. I can move further with this project by using a sensor and improving quality of artifact. By using a larger glass and a cap with holder it can also be used as a lantern, maybe for campers?

Bedside Glass – Tilth Switch

I have used makerbot with translucent filament to make a case for LEDs and cable. I wired super-bright 5mm LEDs in parallel and placed the tilt switch center of glass and LEDs.

Tilt Switch in progress

if switch were more precise it would be better. Light is shaky. I have also problem with coding.

Glass with tilt switch

This is a bedside water glass with a tilt switch. It stands upside down on the table to prevent dust to go inside. When user wakes up at night to drink water, he turns down glass and tilt switch gets activated to lighten the LEDs which are embedded bottom of glass. So glass turns into a lighting unit which eases pouring water from carafe at dark. After drinking water user turns upside down glass again to switch off light and keep glass clean.

Arduino Circ07 Adem

Crescent, star and T-flag

It is made of white fabric and polyester fiber.

Magnets are used as switch.

It works with 3AA batteries.

Soon I will make bigger, wearable one 🙂

Adem’s plush light ideas

I have always loved the mashrabiya windows of arabic culture. They always look so magical and mysterious. Here are some examples of mashrabiya;

So I wanted to use a similar lighting illusion and beauty. The first idea was a backpack which has a mashrabiya ligting at back side. And the second one was an insulating case with mashrabiya effect for water bottle. That means the water bottle can also work as a mashrabiya lantern! Different colored LEDs can be implemented.

The second idea is a plush turkish flag light! It can be hanged over window at night.

The last one is a plush watch. There is no need to take it off while sleeping since its comfortable and warm. When pushed on top of the watch, the fabric touches to digital screen and the time appears. The whole watch lights with diffferent colors and makes sound if the alarm is set.

Movin’ Rumbler

I disassembled a toy truck which can move around and make sounds with some lights on wheels.

When I took out the visible screws at the bottom of the truck, the toy was divided into two pieces. The bottom part was containing all the electronical parts. The upper part was a set of some injection molded plastic peces.

The electronical parts was containing of two cips, 4 LEDs on wheels, one motor, some plastic gears , a speaker, a switch, 3 AA battery and the battery case.
