The simulation of the lighting effect
Written by viola on September 29th, 2008
| These two weeks, I have been focusing on creating the lighting effects for Resonant Wave. I use twenty six LEDs. Each of them represents a key on a computer keyboard. The Texas Instrument 4950 allows me to increase output pins from the Arduino board. I will study how to use a power supply for this in the following week, since my flower-like sculptures have hundreds of LEDs |

| The lighting effects include four steps. In the beginning, a light will brighten up far from the dancer’s position. It attracts her to come close to it. The according to the dancer’s location, a bright light will start to fallow her. After a while, groups of lights will follow her movements. At the end, she will create a light pattern according to her trail. Also, the brightness of the light is according to the sound she makes. |
| I used MaxMsp to control the time, the computer keyboard, and sound analysis. I used Arduino to control the light. And use Seiral.read to make Maxmsp and Ardino able to communicate with each other. |
