HackTrack is going to be a system to keep track of who's been spending time cleaning the lab (HackLab.TO) and award points and such for doing so.
Contents
Ideas
- Lots of switches and knobs to flip/dial, LEDs to blink
- 8 big toggle switches to identify which tasks you have completed
- LEDs with each of these switches for ... something
- Space beside each toggle/LED for a written label identifying what the task is
- One of the toggle switches will have an associated selector knob for an 'other' option, knob to specify minutes put into lab cleanup or something like that
- 20x2 LCD screen for feedback and because I like LCD screens
- Three large red/yellow/green LEDs to give feedback on something (mostly because someone suggested it would look cool)
- HID reader to identify members
- Ethernet connection to send data to a message queue
- Arduino to tie everything together
- Acrylic front/back panels (as we can cut them on our lazzor), standoffs between them
Build Log
Before 2011-02-27
- Put basic design together
- Decided on the MiniProx HID reader that another lab member was going to be freeing up soon, designed front panel
- ...found it wasn't going to be freed up after all
- Redesigned front panel for the ProxPro HID reader that I had laying around
- ...found it was really big and the acrylic i wanted to use wasn't big enough
- Redesigned front panel for the ProxPoint Plus that another member donated to the project
