CA2 REPORT: NEW FASHION MEDIA - Color Changing Fabrics Wen Yingqian U0509434
The scope of the project is to invent a non-emissive color changing fabric module. The change of the colors on the fabric can be either passive or human controllable. As a summary, the limitation of the project is highlighted below:
1. Fabric display 2. Multiple colors 3. non-emissive 4.controllable
Things I have done in the past 3 months:
1. Decided the direction of the project
2. Preparation
3. The design of the Matrix (Click to see details)
4. Planning of system integration
Future work:
1. Testing the matrix circuit with PI controller - Study on Jayanth's program and hardwear - the PI controller - temperature sensor circuit - power supply - decoupling capacitors - Check the feasibility of the switching algorithm - take note of the temperature changing characteristis - Decide the following parameters - PI controller parameters - Switching frequency of the Matrix switch - Power supply of the control circuit and driving circuit
2. Searching for multiple PMW output IC - for each PIC, there are only 2 PWM outputs - to have a larger scale of the matrix, multiple PWM outputs required - one way is to have multiple PIC - an alternative is to find IC can generate multiple PWM
3. Implement a GUI interface to communicate with the Matrix - design creative matrix pattern - design simple animation
