Press fit moon cap
Applications and Implications
Week Sixteen
What will it do?
Moon Tracker allows you to input habits that you are changing in your daily life. By pressed "Yes" or "No", you will change the face of the moon display. and will be able to see 6 days of progress reporting at a time.
Who's done what beforehand?
I have been able to find other tutorials on making moon clocks, like the great one on Instructables but I have not found one that creates a 3D moon. I am very interested in this link that exists between it taking 30 days to make a change and the cycle of the moon.
What materials and components will be required?
1 cardboard sheet, 24X12
1 Board
2 buttons
1 ATMEGA 328
6 RGB LEDS
ribbon wire
heat shrink
abaca paper
programming header
resistors
regulator
9 volt battery
3D print on the MakerBot
xacto
glue
Where will they come from?
All the materials can be found on the Fab Lab inventory. The handmade paper is something I made years ago but have enough of to complete the project.
How much will it cost?
