Last week has been dedicated to project work on our wall of light project (working name). We found an EXPEDIT 5x5 bookshelf on Blocket for a good price. It's standing at the lab right now just waiting to be pimped. The interaction ideas are getting more and more developed as we discuss them, so we're all on track on what we want to do.
My job so far has been to get some electronics working, so I did some schematics an we went to ELFA for some shopping for shift-registers and other logics. The circuit for the pixel control is now done and it's running just fine with the Arduino. Yesterdays work was to get the scroll knob to work, which sound easier than it actually was. After a few different approaches with interrupts and timing, we finally go it working (just minor bugs right now).
Next steps are to start building rigs in each pixel for the touchable surfaces, choose lights and to build a circuit for the 25+ buttons. We'll begin by just building one of the pixels and try different approaches on the design there. Hopefully we'll get it working.
