Module 1

Here are my 25 images showcasing the different circuits I have created using the following materials available to me; Copper Tape, Graphite Pencil, Aluminium Foil

Activity 1

Gathered all materials to create my first circuit using Copper Tape.

Started assembling the Copper Tape according to sketch of the circuit.

Placed the battery in the correct position and applied Copper Tape to the top as it is the positive side of the battery.

Began testing the circuit connection via LED Light application.

Labelled the corresponding items used in the first Copper Tape circuit.

Showcased the various items used in the second Copper Tape.

Applied Copper Tape to the sketched out circuit.

Displayed a test of the second circuit flipping the corner of the paper which had the positive endpoint. LED Light successfully lit up green.

This is what the circuit looks like in full resolution with no LED Light activation.

Applied written content to the components of the second Copper Tape circuit.

Drawn a triangle shaped circuit to see if the Copper Tape would still carry current (since it works well already with square design circuits)

Applied Copper Tape in the shape of the triangle sketch.

Implemented the Battery and LED Light to the assigned spots according to the drawing.

Test of the triangle shaped circuit is a success via the LED Light being activated.

Applied correct labelling to the third Copper Tape circuit.

Drew the circuit that would utilize two different LED Lights.

Cut out the strips of Aluminium Foil and placed them accordingly to the sketch, Stuck the LED Lights in their spots, and placed the Battery in the correct spot.

Tested the first Aluminium Foil circuit via contact with pointing finger.

Showcased all materials used to create the Aluminium Foil circuit.

Displayed the circuit working in succession and displayed what materials mean in the circuit.

Displayed necessary materials for the first Graphite Pencil circuit.

Finished drawing a unique layout for the current to travel via Graphite.

Implemented the Battery and LED Light in the correct positions.

First test of the Graphite Pencil circuit was a success but with little power being drawn through the LED Light Source.

Displayed the elements of the Graphite Pencil circuit.

Activity 2

upon contact with the Tap it will trigger a signal.

Example for when the tap is active to power the LED.

Example of the plug being a source to create a circuit.

Upon the action of unplugging it the LED could be powered.

Another object that could potentially be used as a way to activate the LED light.

Showcasing the properties of the lamp and how it operates via the button at the top.

Another action used to activate it like the lamp but as a voice mechanism.

microphone turns on when you make contact at the top could be used for a circuit.

A metallic surface that could be great for a circuit when interacted correctly.

How the door could activate the LED light.

An aluminium material case that can carry a current.

It operates by unlinking the laches at the front when laid down on its side.

Creating contact with the faucet handle it will activate a switch then turn the LED on.

Touching each side of the tap will potentially activate the LED lights.

When the plug disconnects from the socket it could trigger the LED light via a switch that updates the signal.

Each LED lights up according to the light level of the Lamp.

Depending on where the user makes contact on the lamp it will light up the corresponding LED light.

Upon the activation of the microphone via user tapping, the LED lgihts up.

Once the user opens or uses the door handle the LED lights up.

Opening the briefcase will activate the LED which is connected to the battery closely placed on or near the case.

Another potential object that could act as a way to signal a switch or an LED.

Copper Tape could wrap around the hat and the back portion will house the battery and LED to trigger the circuit.

When the phone case is lifted off the surface/ground it will trigger the LED.

When the phone retrieves a notification it will send a signal/current to the LED to activate.

When user touches the phone case it will light the LED up.

Final Project 1 Design

Wearable Interactive Affordance Based Circuit

Here is my Wearable Circuit Image for Project 1 of MMB

The Copper Tape wraps around the underside of the hat where the coin battery is placed loosely and connects via the user wearing the hat.

Non-Wearable Interactive Affordance Based Circuit

Here is my Non-Wearable Circuit Image for Project 1 of MMB

User presses the left mouse button to enable to the connection to the LED and completes the circuit with the coin battery.
