Process

• My process was extremely messed up because the Arduino and my computer(s) simply did not want to cooperate. As a result, there were very few iterations. I didn’t have a first project log since I missed the class where everything was assigned. The time covered in my second and third project logs were both mostly just me trying to figure why the Arduino wouldn’t work. In essence everything was done during and after the fourth log, which was not ideal.

• My design process was mainly brainstorming how to imbue human characteristics on the lamp using the features of the proximity sensor and LED strip that I explored. For example, the pulsing red lights was something I had done while just exploring the technology, and I thought it would be a good way for the lamp to convey anger/frustration.
