From Off to On
From Off to On is an interactive installation based on Theremin properties. We used it as a capacitive sensor to switch on and off a regular black light. It was developed for an exhibition in Kobe ( Japan ) where visitors will be supposed to make some draws on a big black table. They get in a very dark room first and then a small bulb black light will light on when they'll get closed to the table.

Electronics
Here are the electronics components we used:
.1 transistor 2N2222
.1 resistor 1ko
.2 resistor 100ko
.1 diode 1N4004
.1 static relay Sharp S216S02
.1 74HC00N
.1 capacitor 100n
.2 capacitor 10p
.1 capacitor 150p (NP0 type)
.1 self radial 10uH
The 1T relay you see in the center of the picture was then replaced by a static one |
Here is the website for the Printed Circuit (Bordeaux - France):
As cheap as fast.
Send us a mail if you need the Phototool |
Here it goes, ready to be plugged directly on the Arduino.
Code
We only add a threshold to digital write a pin.
If the circuit receives a sufficient amount of frequency, it commands a passive relay to switch on a bulb light.
Here is the code we used:
