Under it, we used linear actuators to force the acrylic boards to move up and down to form the wave. We also put a neopixel in a wooden box under … Continue reading Assignment 5: Wave

We discovered that bending the material can reflect a smooth … Continue reading Assignment3-Exploring the Moving Head Spot Light
