Week of 10/14 - 10/18

This week I took a break from my lamp project to work on a new project for one of my classes. In my AP Lang class I have to come up with a way to bring a poem to life in a creative way. The poem I am analyzing centers around a child's birthday party and an intensifying danger that puts the children at risk. To turn this into an actual creative element I decided I would model a light box of some sorts that takes on the shape of a birthday cake. This birthday cake would have 6 candles on top of it. The goal is for me to change the lights of the candles from yellow to red to show the growing violence at the party. The lights would be controlled by a remote with buttons that change the lights one at a time. So far I've had lots of trouble with Fusion and I am working on creating the schematic for the PCB and the model for the physical cake part.
