Design the projection

After the sound detection is basicly worked out, I started to design the projection to integrate with the function.

I have found some sea photos for my background of projection.
And then to design the Hong Kong Map.

Work on the Sound Detection by AS3.0 on Flash

After I have finished the hardware part, I started to do the software part. It is a sound detection using Adobe Flash CS4.

First of all, I did the main function sound detection on programming. I used the function Microphone() to do the sound detection. I roughly made a yellow ball to be a target of the detection response.

// declare the control on Microphone
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.MICROPHONE);
mic.setLoopBack(false);  


After I have got the control with microphone, I tried to resize a target by control the scale() of the object.
 // the size value of the yellow ball is increased by sound detected
if (actLevel > 0) {
   ball.scaleX *= 1.1;
   ball.scaleY *= 1.1;
   }

Ciruit is Finished to integrate with 4 Mist Machines

I used almost a month time to integrate the circuit with 4 mist machines.
Here is my completed work!


4 mist machines is worked out by two 3 Amp Adapters

To integrate with 4 mist machines

After the single machine circuit had worked out, I was going to integrate more mist machines together to the circuit. It is because one mist machine is not enough for my work. I have bought 3 more mist machines for my whole circuit uses.


Each mist machine needs AC 24V 1.2Amp. Hence, I need an AC 24V 4.8Amp adapter to give power to 4 mist machines. However, I cannot find an adapter with 5Amp. The maximum value of adapter that I have found is 3Amp only. So, I have bought 2 adapters for giving power to the whole circuit. It should be safe and stable.

Finished writing Interim Report

In this week, I mainly doing the Interim Report for the submission on 28 Jan.

Finally, I have finished writing the Interim Report today!

And Now, starting to prepare the presentation on Friday.

Start on Software Part: Learning references on AS3.0

Besides doing the Interim Report, I am now thinking on the FLASH part. I am going to find the references about sound detection on Flash. I am spending time to read the references on Flash AS3.0 .

Start to do the Interim Report

I have dated Koala and Raymond to have Interim Report Submittion and Presentation on 28/1(Friday) at 5:30pm at Inno Center.

I think I have to start to do the Interim Report right now.

Circuit SUCCESSFULLY DONE !

After a week time to integrate the circuit, I have faced a lot of difficulties. I keep read the book and the tutorials on the website and asked comments from my EE friend. Finally, it is perfectly DONE! 

VERY VERY POWERFUL .\_/.!!!




Here is the video about the operation of the whole circuit:

Integrate the circuit

After I have add the programming code to the microcontroller, I need to test it. So that, I am going to integrate the whole circuit. I am following the circuit diagram that I have designed before. Hope I can be successful!
