Hey Forum Peoples!
We are a group of three uni students from the University of Auckland in New Zealand, designing and constructing an installation for Architecture Week. We are designing an inflatable module which, when tilted in different orientations, changes colours.
We first attacked the problem through the use of two separate circuits, utilizing mercury switches as a bridge to disconnect the circuit when it was tilted. However being university/college students, we are understandably low on funds. As such, the 4 - 500 replicas of the circuit is looking highly unfeasible unless we find a way to downsize the amount of components used.
As such, it would be awesome if we could get some feedback to any possible solution you can provide.
Many thanks,
Dylan, Esther and Rui
