Project 2: Protest Object

This is the second project for my physical computing class. The topic was to create an object that would protest against a social issue through the sensors on the CPX.

I chose the issue animal abuse and used a Goodwill thrifted stuffed animal to best convey the message. The following objects were used:

• Goodwill Thrifted Stuffed Giraffe
• Shoelace String
• Microfiber Cloth
• Circuit Playground Express (CPX)
• MicroUSB cord

Utilizing the sensors on the CPX, the assignment called for communication with the world. Collecting analog data from the environment and turn it into a response from the CPX. I strung the shoelace around the giraffe with the CPX on it and wrapped a microfiber cloth to hide the CPX in the back.
