Final project idea (week1)
my final project idea is to make an operating system to say the status and monitor labs at the Proto lab in the fablab in bcn. i want it to be in the shape of an octopus and the legs light up and is used as handles to use the object. I want to have a dashboard display on a paper screen and a status tracker for the machines in the lab along with information about the booking system and the people at the lab who can help you with them.
- What does the machine do?
- shows how to use it
- How to contact for help with the machine
- Calendar of machines are available
- Booking system if possible
- Map of the lab and location of each machine
- Machine status
to find out
- Current booking system
- Where is the data saved
- How to access the data
- Will I be able to link it for my project
- which machines to include
here are some of my simple(awful) initial sketches:
Different input ideas
Gears for a perpetual flip calendar that shows the information of the date shown Joystick and the button to navigate through the screen
what i need
- ePaper
- buttons
- wifi connection
- make a list of machines
- how they’re used now
my ideations:
made a slightly better sketch on procreate. i guess it's time to hope my 3D modeling skills are better
Feedback from Dani:
Start with the minimum viable output so just show information about one machine and it status Use the Barduino to start playing around but eventually have to design my own electronic pcb to make this work gave me this to start start experimenting with
