FLUTTER LAMP
VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF WELLINGTON, 2023

MY GOAL FOR THIS PROJECT WAS TO CREATE A LIGHTING DESIGN THAT RESPONDED TO THE USER BY USING SENSORS CONNECTED TO AN ARDUINO.

I DECIDED IT MIGHT BE MORE VISUALLY INTERESTING IF I COULD ADJUST SOME EXTERNAL QUALITY AROUND THE LIGHT, AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE LEDS THEMSELVES. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS, I ATTACHED A SERVO MOTOR TO THE LAMPSHADE OF MY LIGHT AND CREATED CODE THAT ALLOWED THE SHADE TO 'BLOOM' WHEN A HAND WAS PLACED NEAR A SENSOR IN THE BASE.
