Design

My finalish design is an EL wire creation. The central axis rotates making the EL wire leave behind light traces. There are to 25 to 30 strands of EL that are of the colours red yellow green blue and purple and they will be sequenced in that order rather than the colours being grouped together. Each colour has its own specific shape made of smooth arcs and angles so each colour will create a shape as it rotates. the light is controlled by a Micro controller and a shield that controls the EL wire, most likely an Arduino model. I will use a microphone and subsequent programming of the controller that turns on different colours and creates patterns with the EL wire according to the music that is around. The motor will run at the same speed but the speed and pattern will change with tempo and pitch, depending on how well I am able to write the code and wire it together. I think the overall effect will be quite mesmerising as the lights shape and colour. will be continually changing depending on what is playing.
