Arcade button panel for the pocket universe dome project. Most of these buttons will be wired up to lighting/sound effects on the dome its self. Although it looks pretty, i will be dismantling this panel at the end of Maker Faire. The Arcade buttons are far too precious to leave in the panel.

The flower of life panel. I was doing my best to stay away from the hippy dippy stuff. When I asked for suggestions on what other types of panels to include this was by far the most suggested one. You gotta give the people what they want.

Cthulhu panel. I don’t like how big his head is. I wish i would have just outlined his head instead of cutting it out. If I get time this one will have a green rotating to purple glow behind it. It should look quite demonic.
7 panels done, 9 more to go. 8 days left before Maker Faire. I’m am full on panic mode. Gotta get it done.

“A failed test cut panel for the pocket universe project. This one is too flimsily to work. Rejected.” Rejected? use your mouse roller button, rolling it back and forth while looking at this picture and notice the queeziness setting in the pit of your stomach, lots of simple fun!
the above was about “Day 18” picture. Why are the replies not associated with the comment they address?

Things are starting to take shape. So far there has been no disastrous roadblocks that I have not been able to work around. I got 4 more panels to cut tomorrow then I start on the Lighting and sound.
Light is 20+, 5 meter, 32 pixels per meter WS2810 LED strings. ~3200 Individual addressable LEDS. Across ~10 Arduinos networked together over serial bus, controlled by a PC (not a Raspberry pi). After that comes wring and addressing the buttons to open sound control into a the PC that is running a sound effects system.
Lots of work to do, only 6 days left.

This is the title panel for the pocket universe dome project. The last time I brought our the dome for fund raising event, no one knew what my project was called and people stumbled on donating to it. A title is important

Built the AllPixel kit I backed on Kickstarter from @maniacallabs. I’m going to be using the allpixel to light up all the LEDs on the pocket universe dome project. I still need to add the power tap, that’s why the 3rd strip is dimmer then the first two. This little device is very awesome

Installed the LEDs behind the pane from Day 27. It looks so pretty. I am starting on animations tomorrow. Only ~4 days left.

Today I worked on getting the sound effects working on the Raspberry PI. The Pi has to have the ability to play 50+ sound effects all at once, as well as the lighting using two AllPixels. I still need to figure out exactly how I am going to get 50 DI into the Raspberry PI but thats a problem for tomorrow.

@jon come over tonight and helped me from going crazy, while crimped all the cables for the button panel. Thank you !
3 more days!
