- Time – Of course, time is the biggest constraint. There are only 7 weeks left in the semester, and I have several other obligations, such as Senior Design and a job, that take up a lot of time. Therefore, to complete this project I will have to stick to my timeline, and adjust the project scale as needed.
- Money – The scale of this project is largely determined by my budget. The cost of fabric, LEDs, and wire can add very quickly. Therefore, I plan to buy everything in bulk and second hand if I can.
- Hiding Arduino and Wires – I do not want any of the wires or the Arduino to be visible. Therefore, I will have to creatively incorporate these elements into the design.
- Power Supply – I want to have a power supply to the Arduino that isn’t a computer.
- Wall Mount – I want the light fixture to be easily mounted to a wall.

I appreciate your first two, something others haven’t acknowledged, I will definitely be adjusting my project scope depending on time. Have you worked at all with external power supplies with Arduino’s?
Hopefully some of the materials you used on the last light can be repurposed for this one. I can assist in helping you locate materials if that would be beneficial. Just let me know what you are looking for and I can do some searching. I don’t know anything about Arduino, but please let me know what else I might be able to help with.
