Project Update

 

With the challenge coming to an end soon, so must my futuristic desk.

 

I've worked on the following things this week:

  • paint screen assembly
  • install screen and Pi 2
  • attach LED strip to desk with diffuser
  • install wireless charging base for magic lamp
  • test code for lift and LED strip

 

I'm nearly there! I still need to cover the desk's surface with a sheet of white acrylic, hiding all the guts of the desk and giving a clean finished look. Once the code is finalised, test everything and prepare for final demonstration.

 

To summarise, the remaining to-do's are:

  • place acrylic surface
  • connect capacitive touch control to Pi
  • finalise power management
  • finalise code
  • test, test, test
  • make video and post for final demo

 

Here are some pictures of the current state of the desk, hope you like it image
