She’s alive!!

Filed under: Final Project — michaelangelo3 @ 12:04 am

Motivated to get our project up and running again, we spent 6 hours at the gallery reworking The Family. It's amazing how much faster you can do something the second time. We re-reverse engineered two new DVD players. One of them was no different from the first two. The other however, had a different circuit board. I approached the same way I did the others, and in half an hour we, had wires soldered onto it, too. Joey had brought in a new (it was probably actually old) torn apart and reworked like the old one. It didn't have the same glamour as the first one, but still excellent for the amount of time he had. We hooked everything back up, and this time, Joey found all the loose ends of the cosmetic wires in the piece, and insulated the ends, every last one of them. We also grounded the conduit better. And anytime we worked on it, we turned everything off! At about 1:30 the next morning T. Jay and I were dancing and singing with good reason to do so: our project was alive!! We unplugged it and tried it again. It worked just like it should. Here's a picture of it working:
