Flatholm Project Journey
Weather Automata V1
Some very exciting developments happening with the Weather Automata.
Some very exciting developments happening with the Weather Automata.
We are working out a system for how we might present the energy and water in the battery and water tank.
We are delighted with the aesthetic effect that the printed circuit board (PCB) has achieved.
More refinements to the farmhouse design sees the addition of a battery to collect the energy from the solar panel and wind turbine. The weather data collected from the weather station on the island will light up LEDS on the Read more…
Getting closer. We have now started to work out how all the parts will fit together. Our interactive map will sit over the Neo-pixels and our PCB designs are our capacitive sensors.
Inky impression is a low power consumption e-paper which will allow us to show images even when it is unpowered. We are very pleased with how the Flat Holm Island butterflies and moths are showing on this e-paper.
We have been searching for the right colours for our printed circuit board (PCB) Flatholm Butterfly. Take look at the renders and arranged layers that we have been playing with:
Some really nice effects coming through with the etched Flora & Fauna now placed on the map. The next challenge is how we present the logbooks on this map.
This week we managed to etch and cut out the sustainable farmhouse on wood. Take note at how it looks with the lights behind the cut outs… there is some great potential here to use the lights to bring the Read more…
A very interesting round of early iterative testing this week. The Daptec team learnt a lot from our three young test participant volunteers. For example, in terms of the props it is clear that a touch interaction will occur. Also, Read more…
