Images Of...

... the so far still a failure project. Ahaha, I have figured some things out since this. a) wire mesh from the hardware store while conductive is a pain to work with, it's sharp, it's hard to get a good connection and for what I wanted it's much too visible. b) connecting both ends of the battery to each other is a bad thing. c) voltage is important you either burn out LED's or you get no light or very little light. d) if you want to put more then three LED's together on a circuit you have to have a resistor or you simply get no lighting up.




So, I went from there to using wire when I wanted to sew the whole thing. However, after a few problems wire was a better way to figure out if it worked before sewing everything. Needless to say I did get it to light up when the wires were attached.

However, I'm not so sure I really like this set up for what I want to do. It's cute and it's fun but it really has no purpose and it doesn't really amplify the materials the way I wanted it to. Which could be worked with placement and type of LED's... anyway, trying to figure out exactly what I want to do. It is being difficult. For some reason with this class I have less ideas about what to do. I'm not sure if that's because it's simply not really a familiar medium or something else. Anyway enough ramble, sleep is needed and it's late. *disappears*
