It will be head at Handsome on Nov 13 for 6-9pm. We can start setting up that day at at 2.
You can make something large or small. It should fit the space but it can be complicated, simple and clear, crafty, utilitarian, or anything in between.
While you designing think about the explanation that will go along with it. What interested you and set you off on the path to make your own electronic art piece?

“Quiz”
Make a device that fills up the leds like a progress bar
– That takes 10 seconds to fill. That takes 1.5 seconds to fill.
— How is it started? How is it reset?
– It prints out the time remaining to finish 4 times a second
— What other information could it print?
– That plays a tiny melody at the end.
— Two separate sequences that follow each other and happen just once.
