Beat Bright Lamp - Final project

Beat Bright Lamp! 

Final project EE47

 

Introduction

     This is my final project for EE47. I decided to make this project because it involved more design and electronics. 

 

Point of view

 

     Music has an important role in human's life. It let us express our feelings, dance to it or motivate us. A world without sound would be very boring. We can hear music, we can even feel music, but how can we see music?

 

     That´s why I wanted to design a way to see music, to see its rhythm and its beat. At the same time, I wanted another function, so I decided to make it also a lamp. I wanted to use the latest technology, so I decided to use bright color LED's for the musical function, as well as high power LEDs for the lamp.

 

     The material which I decided to use is acrylic, which is laser-cuttable, as well as a light and clear material. I wanted it to be  transparent, but at the same time that the interior could not be seen, so I sandblasted the acrylic to make it a frosty effect.

Making the project

 


 

 

Circuit of the project

Future work

  •      Elaborate a PCB
  •      Get rid of noise
  •      Improve code
  •      "Touch" lamp function
  •      Microphone to turn color leds on with ambient noise or music
  •      Test power usage

 

Conclusion

      This was an interesting project because it involved design and electronics. The most frustrating part was receiving the parts, because they delayed a little bit my work. Aside from that, I really liked the outcome of my project and when I showed it to my family and friends, they also liked it.

 

Thanks for all the help to the EE47 team!

Hi Mauricio,

Wonderful job!

We appreciate that you include scenarios, figures of brainstorm process, paper prototype and state diagram to clarify your design process. Your idea of visualize the rhyme and beat of music is great. Also, you include more function in your product, which is awesome. Multi-use of one product is really helpful for daily use!

We know that time is limited for summer quarter final project. We do hope you have more time to fix the problem of noise for white LED lamb. Also, we do wish you can add more detail design sketches to show us your design logic chain. Besides, we do hope you can transfer your product from the breadboard to a perf board, which will be more reliable! What's more, we hope you can add more details to illustrate how you design your product, like the rotation switch, and the problems you have met with.

If you have more time to redo the project, we do wish you can add more features and make some small corrections of your current configuration. For example, may be you can add a disco ball to shine images on wall according your visible beat and rhyme, which will be more fantastic.

Awesome project!

Best,
David, Yusi, Kai and Ben
