TARDIS Time's Tables

The build is complete. As you can now see in the gallery, we've finished making the box. It's very Blue Peter - a cardboard box and lots of sticky-backed plastic, but all the better for that. Here's Jack demoing it.

Large LEDs have arrived, and the final assembly has started. I made a video before I started this morning.

I managed to scrape together a few minutes last night. The 10mm blue LED for the roof has arrived yet, so I'm hoping it will come at some point today.

I've built everything out on the little breadboards now, including the roof LED (using a temporary substitute) and the speaker, and its all working.

I've only got one WT588D-u to use, so that is still on the original breadboard.

Tomorrow I'll shoot photos of all the components and the assembly process as I fit it in the cardboard box. Real soon now.

I've rebuilt the RFID and LCD components onto smaller breadboards that can be fitted directly into the cardboard box. I like this a lot as the breadboards are self adhesive, and you don't need to solder a custom board.

I'm waiting for my 10mm blue LED for the roof light, and I'm still exploring how to mount the speaker inside the case, and whether I should you a piezo.
