Third Object

 THIS BLOG ENTRY IS DEDICATED TO CHARLES – “CHARLES YOU ROCK – THANK YOU“

Today we started flashy!

Once again I went to the fabric district to get some more of this red corduroy and I picked up some yellow fabric too. Back at the studio Adam drew me flashes with a magic pen (the color fades after a while), he also cut them out – what a great HELP.

 

In the meantime I made some “comic-pillow-what-to-do” cards for the families. I took Adam’s original doodle drawing, cleaned it up made some color adjustments and hand drew the directions inside.

I made the last pillow and added the flashes to it – I told myself I either have to redo the cards or just continue  sewing the flashes on the corduroy. It was one of those moments where you wish today was tomorrow.

 

But now the best news ever. Charles was communicating with Adam for programming the devices all this time. This evening Charles offered to come to the studio and THEY MADE IT WORK! Yes, it works! The make controller is programmed so it doesn’t need a computer, we have a servo motor, and a touch sensor….

Now we just have to build a little box for the all of this to sit in and put it in the “pillow with attitude”. So once they families start watching telly, the “third object” will interrupt – switch the telly off and on, and off again – in order to stop the “third object” from acting up, they need to give it some attention and hug it. AMAZING!!!!!!!

 

Tomorrow morning we need to buy some more electronic equipment. We also need to put zippers in the “pillows” which will allow easy batteries access.

Alright everyone cross your fingers – this will go smoothly.
