Hi everybody. I just wanted to share with you a project that I've been working on called
"Fade Away." What it's doing is it's writing tweets onto this glow-in-the-dark surface
using a UV laser. And as you can see, it looks much better in the dark than it does in the
daylight.
What's going on here is that I have a PHP server that does the tweet-searching and returns
to an Arduino what the tweet is. The Arduino will send the instructions to the servos to
move the laser and the Arduino will also turn on and off the laser at the right point to
write each character onto this panel.
So this is just the beginning of this project, really, this is the first, like, working prototype
of it. I have a lot of work I want to do to make the letters look nicer, to make it look
more square and to make it a little bit quieter.
But I wanted to share the progress I've been making on the project anyway. So I hope you
like it, it's called The Fade Away. Thanks a lot. Bye.
