Improve Sea Projection

I found that a static sea picture is not attractive enough to be a sea projection. So, I searched more Flash AS3.0 programming references on website to improve the sea projection. I have found a reference to make a static sea picture to be more realistic.

http://www.thetechlabs.com/tech-tutorials/flash/create-real-water-effects-with-flash-cs4-actionscript-30/

The reference is creating a water effect on a sea/water picture by AS3.0 programming. The water effect is looked like adding water wave and movement to the sea. Therefore, the sea projection should be animated and give a lively water effect to the audience. 

Working on Projection with Flash

I had also added some message to the projection. It is a strong appeal to call people to cheer up Hong Kong. The message is clear and attractive. The appeal message is easy for audience to see. It should be an impressive and interactive way to show my impression and demonstrate to audience.

Here is an appeal message to call audience to cheer up Hong Kong.

 

Here is a thank you message to appreciate audience’s cheer up action.

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.

 

Have Interim Report Submission and Presentation TODAY!

Today FINISHED my FYP Interim Report Submission and Presentation!

yeh yeh yeh~ HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

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.
