Charity Project: Star Trek Holoroom Donation box
To support the local parks of Cambridge. I have been developing an interactive, solar powered, 2G GSM enabled donation box.
Progress as follows:
A cool 3D Printed design that will protect the electronics
Includes an opening designed for a touch screen, and slanted extrusion for a solar panel
Touch screen wired up to a an Arduino Featherwing
GSM 2G Module for texting and basic internet connection
Solar panel and relay as part of the recharging circuit
Software tests confirming hardware is functional.
When I have more time, this will be replaced with a star trek themed holo-deck interface with a QR Code link for donation and text utilisation to create an interactive experience!
NEXT STEPS
- .3D Print the design
- .Write main holo-deck interactive software
- .Create utilities for charging management, 2G GSM module and remote update methods.
