PLOG 02-00: the Enhanced Cube
It’s finally time for the ECE362 Mini-project. My partner, Joe, and I will be working on creating our own version of the Hypnocube.
Due to time constraints (less than 4 weeks) and limited resources (we’re limited to using the 9S12C32), the Enhanced Cube* is currently planned to have the following features:
- 4×4x4 to 6×6x6 LEDs
- your standard LED cube animations
- alarm clock (alarm feature will be implemented only if we have excess time)
- sound responsive, with the following modes:
- “wave propagation” – sound will trigger a wave propagating from the side the sound is coming from (this may also be implemented using a motion sensor)
- audio visualization – will respond either to different loudness or different frequencies
- connect them together – if you connect two (or more) of them (most likely via serial connection), you can have the “wave propagation” across all of them.
- Games – 3D Pong (only if we have time… lots of time)
Many more features will be added later on, a lot of them depend on the time factor. This time I don’t have a camera handy, but I’ll try to obtain some pictures whenever I can.
Progress logs soon to come!
* not final name – decision still pending.
