The Body: End result

Here is the final product of the body project!  I'm pretty happy with it overall!  I learned some neat things like how to build a box and that matte spray paint is great.  I also learned the delay() alternative for Arduino so that neopixels hooked up to different data pins can do different things (https://www.baldengineer.com/millis-tutorial.html).

The Body: Progress

My new idea for the body project is fully under way!  This week I've:
  • Drew 30 continuous line drawings of my eyes, nose, and lips
  • Scanned all of the drawings and layered them in Photoshop
  • Printed them on the vinyl cutter
  • Stuck the vinyl to plexiglass
  • Spray painted the plexiglass a matte black
  • Got the all the wood that will make up the box
  • Created 2/3 boxes



The last box should be done tonight and then I need to get the electronics working and integrated.  I'll need to figure out where the arduino and wires will go...I'm thinking middle box.  I also found a scratch on the nose plexiglass so I need to figure out if I can re-spray paint that one because it will bug me.
