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.

Ideas

  • Lots of switches and knobs to flip/dial, LEDs to blink
    • Some number of 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
    • A toggle switch with associated selector knob for an 'other' option, knob to specify minutes put into lab cleanup
    • 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
