My pilgrimage to Pasadena for superCon is now synonymous with the beginning of Fall. I start enjoying the crisp chill in the air at night, eat a lot of sweet candy, have a couple weeks where I'm busier than sense... and then, BAM! I'm in the car with a bountiful harvest of whatever nonsense I've been concocting to show to my friends and fellow hackers.
It's my favorite *con* or *festival* or *gathering*- I enjoy being with my people, and seeing all the inspiring work that's been unfolding in the now.
This hacker harvest fest (I'm going to call it that) is fun, but it also brings a fair amount of stress in the week or so leading up to it. That's where I find myself right now.
My intention is to bring the whole SHE BON project along with me to demo and share during the three days of festivities. I won't be wearing all the augments at once- but I will wear them all at some point throughout the con, so this means they all need to be *wearable* and mobile, - they must all have power supplied to them! somehow.
My biggest hurdle this weekend is wrapping up some obvious (potentially critical) odds and ends. primarily, how my 3D printed assemblies will in fact mount to the fleshy surface of my body - amazingly, I didn't think this far for some items, like the salmon "panties". (this also comes with decisions about what I'm going to wear underneath them).
THE BIG TODO
- mount and manage PCBs and wire harness of winch belt
- better belt buckle for winch belt
- run power to winch belt from pulse pack
- install core power supply to pulse pack + voltage regulator step down for sub systems
- tighten up pulse pack cat5 ports >.<
- arm brace for popgirl
- instal voltage regulator for winch belt
- make beatbox wearable!
- tweak salmon code for heat monitor
- power the salmon
- fit the fillet-o board into the new salmon
- rebuilt circuit for propeller pasties
- make a bra attachment for pasties
- also need to run power to pasties
Any how. The layout of the SHE BON main site has been updated again to reflect all the new additions to the suit.
Enjoy the concept art and stuff! I'll see you at superCon!! <3
