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
