Learning how to connect to MadMapper:

NYU ITP Resident Nico Cabalquinto helped me get introduced with the basics of connecting LED strips and utilizing MadMapper as a visualizer, have not decided if I'll be using MadMapper yet.

Ordering Parts:

Questions that arised:

• How many LED strips do I need? (I have to do math oh no!)
• What is the resolution? I do want the visuals to be lower resolution so this will help me determine my size.
• What will I use to control the LEDs visually? (Resolume, MadMapper, TouchDesigner, etc.)

Planning and mathing it out:

Next Steps: Initially I wanted to solder as I created the mess but I realized now that creating the grid foundation first may be easier then adding and subtracting as I can figure out the math easier with MadMapper and manipulate from the foundation.

• Solder the grid
• Create the effects on MadMapper
• Create .dxf of board
• CNC boards + spraypaint black
