WindClock-III

A full description of how to make and install your own WindClock-III will be provided here in time.

Current prototype development state:

  • installed a raspberry pi 3 with a sensehat
  • python coded all data for realtime request available in a file
  • installed localtunnel software for communication but it is dropping out (bug)

Future work:

  • so now trying to solve this (don't like that nginx + cgi server, so web sockets as an alternative?)
  • then: adding a waterproof temperature and ambient light sensor
  • power: 5V-2A for the pi seems too much, so would use a Teensy with 3.3V 500mA
  • designing a shape/case for hanging it up and responsive to wind (physical calibration)
  • simple visualisation/sonification on the object
  • work with more than one (but keep it under 10 haha)
  • client-side for data capture (katastrof interpretation and sonification)

Make and install the real objects

  • rodchenko examples (see below)
  • I would just cut out a spiral out of a thin wooden plate and stretch from the middle up
  • gert's suggestions for design

More details and progress the coming weeks…
