We utilized LED strips to improve last week’s homework. Each of the led lights on the LED strips turns on and off, changes colors in response to sensor input.
We created a ‘light box’, in which LED lights respond to Kirby’s (Character) movement. When the Kirby on the monitor screen reaches the borders, the LED lights attached inside the borders of the box turn on corresponding to Kirby’s position.

For the first draft of the box design, we attached the diffusion on the front sides of the box. However, while the LEDs are lighting up, it does not clearly indicate the left, right, top, and bottom sides of the borders. This is the reason why we fixed the box, changing the position of the diffusor from front to side.
