Quiz Buzzer System

This job was building a Quiz Buzzer system for a TV Show. The system has two inputs for the buzzer switches and two 240 volt outputs on relays for switching on indicator lights. The system also has an audio output with a sound triggered for each buzzer. Finally there is a wired remote control panel with LED's to indicate the state of the system and a button for reset. The system is set up so the once a team has buzzed in it locks out until reset from the control box.

It was built for an ABC3 show called Steampunks. ABC Link Review

The system is built around a Freetronics Eleven and a Sparkfun MP3 Trigger. All the inputs and outputs are done though 0.1" header connectors all built up on a Adafruit prototyping board.

I've only got a few in construction photos of this one.

LED Helmet & Flux Capacitor

This project was a couple of blinkey LED effects for an advertising campaign. I built a simple “Flux Capacitor” style effect and a LED effect for the inside of a sci-fi helmet. In a handful of hours with parts on hand (ok 1 trip to the local Jaycar).

Further up the chain was Will O_Rourke & The Glue Society.

Final client was Ice Break Ice Coffee and I assume there was an add agency in there as well.

There is more information on the project on the Will O_Rourke site here.
