Still on my list
03/23/2017 at 13:49 • 0 commentsI may have lost track of time and development but I will not forget to pursue the project. I am not yet satisfied with the current status of this project. The device is still working, I just need more time and resources to optimize the design to be more reliable and efficient. I will release my initial code and pcb design soon

The PCB is here!!!
07/28/2016 at 10:48 • 0 commentsAfter weeks of waiting, the PCB is finally here fresh from China.
It only cost me $10 for 10 panels + 2 free, each panel consist of main board and 6 RGB LED Board.
To minimize the assembly time, I design the board to use the modules instead of making new design of each modules. See bluetooth module, microSD module and Arduino Pro Mini.
Fully functional and ready for mass soldering, but I still need to complete the components and modules. :(

The acrylic enclosure is here!

I still need to test the designed black acrylic if it can effectively display aura effect.

Enclosure Design and Fabrication
06/25/2016 at 13:10 • 0 commentsI don't have 3D printer and CNC machine. All I can do is to find shops offering laser-cutting services(cheaper yet aesthetically better). It seems, there's a lot in my local place. The materials applicable for laser cutting will be acrylic black and white(diffuse light). After taking some time to design the 3D models and generated dxf files. The designs are ready to go and I hope I can get the samples next week. This will be the base stand for our project.

PCB Manufacturing started
06/16/2016 at 15:09 • 0 commentsI'm designing the PCB for this project, the layout can adapt smd and through-hole technology, each through-hole components has its own alternative smd components. The reason why I designed the board like this, it's because I want it to be more flexible as possible, I can replace the components easily if it's not available in my local market.
