After relaxing few days away, Moritz gave me a call with an offer of a simple assembly job. Deadline about 2 weeks away a few thousand components and a bit of software. Its now just under 6 weeks and I’m remarkably still going.
So far the project has included building two ‘video capable’ led covered dresses and their support equipment. This included a few thousand lines of code, 32 PIC18f46k20 microcontrollers (This is a blog post in its self but to summarize, PIC’s are rubbish), 15 same day couriers, 20 Farnell orders (Did you know you can buy on-line at Farnells website) approximately 4500 red LED’s and very little sleep. The first dress these was finished on the road with the Last girl on earth tour. For the second dress I dragged Jeff and Justyn into the giant food processor that this project became. There is a third dress planned as a replacement for the first.
When more of the confetti has settled I will write a more verbose post with some of the cool stuff that happened for now I would like to thanks everyone who helped directly and indirectly, particularly: Jeff, Justyn, Steve, Pippa, Faye, Rob, Franzi and Moritz
Here are some pictures:
