5.2 Paper Circuit

brief

Create an lamp prototype using only one button as an input and two LEDs as outputs (one a standbuy, the other the primary light), where interacting with the button switches which LED is on. The button must be made of paper / cardboard and conductive tape and designed by you. Your challenge is to design the button such that it is "hidden" in your prototype (i.e. it should not look like a conventional button nor should interacting with it feel like interacting with a push-button). Additionally you must design a unique way to embed the standby and primary light.

requirements

  • target platform: ESP32
  • has two possible outputs (LEDs)
  • allows audience/user to control outputs
  • prompts or rewards audience/user interaction
  • uses one disguised / hidden / paper button (toggle or momentary)
  • creatively embeds LEDs, and designs the way light is visible from them, in two different manners in order to achieve a subtle standby effect (1) and a use case (2, ex: reading lamp).
  • document final deployment, present to class as an interactive demo
