This is a project that I worked with artist Peter Blunt on will be in One Spark. Inspired by the Jetsons and old Star Trek, we made a Retro-Future Desk (Peter calls it the Space Cadet Desk, but I have standards) It has lots of blinking lights and buttons to push and a psuedo-theremin using an IR distance sensor.

First casualty of bad wiring.
Peter routing the hole for the IR sensor
Working in an active woodshop gets very loud.
Desk is together, but minimal electronics are actually in it.
Unfortunately due to IO conflicts and power issues, I had to disable the MP3 decoder board. It will be back though!)
Specs:
- 1 Arduino Mega
- 1 Adafruit Boarduino (Decimila clone)
- 3 8x8 Bi-color matrices (with SPI)
- 2 24 LED PWM boards
- 7 Adafruit Neopixels(RGB LEDs with built in controller chips)
- 1 unused mp3 decoder board (conflicted with PWM boards :-( plus power issues)
- 1 Servo
- 1 IR sensor
- 1 Joystick
By default the Bicolor matrices run the Conway's Life cellular
automata simulator, and a pitch indicator when the theremin is active.
About 2500 lines of C code went into making it all function together.
It is housed at the Southlight Gallery, near Hemming Plaza, on Hogan
Street between Adams and Monroe.
For One Spark , we are in the Art category, titled "Art of Furniture"
Project #20942 Give us a vote or two if you like the project.

Peter plans to continue to make more themed art desks in the coming
year. This was just the first of many.
