Project Overview

Image result for bursting scene from alien

The goal of this project is to recreate the scene from “Alien” where an alien pops out of a human body while taking creative liberty. The inspiration for the project came when the professor mentioned that the theme from the prior year’s class was horror. The plan was to focus on making the alien as detailed as possible with glowing eyes, a swaying body, and having a scream play as it pops out of the human cavity. The Arduino program was required to control motors to accomplish the different movements that the alien will perform. With artistic skills used to make a latex alien skin and programming, the final product is expected to be shocking as the alien suddenly pops out of a human torso with a winch and spring mechanism coupled with glowing eyes and erratic motions.

Week 6

Plans: Create latex skin for alien Paint latex skin for alien Finish code for audio Add springs to the alien structure Add servo to alien jaw Make box to contain Leaver arm Research winches Audio: Latex skin:

Week 9

Plans: Assemble winch system install red LED eyes in alien Add alien skin to the skeleton Add all the code together Work on stopper for alien Fritzing for alien body swaying: Fritzing for alien jaw:

Week 10

Plans: Assemble audio, motor, and servos all to one bread board and arduino uno drill holes for audio to play through adjust latex sizing for alien add stopper to alien figure out winch system Results: Assembled all parts to one arduino uno, but had to scrap winch idea The alien will only pop up, but will not go back into the box again
