The midterm-taxi light project had several lessons on how things can go wrong with lighting. We spent a lot of time and money on lighting solutions that broke within the system. So I made many trips to the lighting store on 14th Street between 5th and Broadway.
From our first mishaps with the florescent light enclosure we learned that certain circuits don't respond well to rapid on and off switching. We later learned from the relay incident that when you overload a relay it may fuse open and allow current through.
I helped plan the housing structures of both prototypes, and the behavior of the system. Through most of the last iteration, I focused on getting lighting hardware in place for Finley's code.
