Friday 11/11/11:
It was a lucky day for most and Smart Surfaces prototyping was no exception. After carrying on the momentum we had from a great session Tuesday we again came ready to work. We cut, glued, coded, wired, and did just about everything we could in order to get our (water)Lilly functional. We again made a huge leap from where we were a few hours prior, and hopefully that comes through in our presentation tomorrow. You can see some of our progress for yourself:
This is accurate through our Friday work session but doesn't include the enhancements we made over the weekend. Be prepared for a video of the working model opening and closing and potentially even a live demo if we can get the opening/closing leads to stay wound correctly. The next step is fully waterproofing our lilly. While most of the components will be fine (the yupo and PVC), there are still a few components made of cardboard that need to be changed out. The electronics are safely embedded inside, away from water and theft. I hope everyone in class has a better idea of our vision and can provide some good feedback going forward :-).
