Beacon4
From Hackstrich
Beacon4 will be the fourth incarnation of the flagpole beacon, for Burning Man 2012. This year the plan is to take a different approach, and light the entire scaffold tower, not just a beacon on top of the flagpole on the tower.
Project Status
- 2012-04-23: Requested permission from NeonBunny to attach LEDs to the tower.
- 2012-04-22: Started putting together idea.
Ideas/Plans
- Main idea is to cover most of the scaffold tower in addressable LED strips, driven by one or more StrichLux modules
- Art-Net will be used between the controller and the StrichLux driver box/translation engine
- DMX input module could be brought along and swapped in if someone wants to manually control the "display"
- BeagleBone is being looked at to control the whole display
- <1W idle, 1.75W full load
- Comes with onboard ethernet
