week 06

Doing the connection currently. Communication will be over internet. Hopefully i can create a web interface where i can start and stop the loop as well, to have some control over the object.

Channel for the thread. Not sure if this is too small maybe. Also will it create friction if the thread keeps grinding along the edge? I think i need a channel to keep it from jumping off the bearing. Also do you think its necessary with a channel on the other side too (where the thread enters the bearing from the top)?

As for the lighting. I wanted to keep it 5V so that hopefully i could use the same power source as the Arduino. I was thinking i could either use LED strips attached to an acrylic board and use a polarizer to try an diffuse the lighting a little bit. Alternatively maybe i could stack together some LED matrix modules?

130x28x28x1.8cm steel frame. Hole in each end to thread the wire inside the frame. But i guess getting the wire in and out through each hole is gonna be a nightmare. Is there a better way to try and hide the wires? Need 5V for the arduino and prefferably the same for the lighting.

If i do the solid copper bars i just need to make a little stand to keep them upright. I think maybe this would be the simplest. Do i just solder the wire straight on it?
