Universal Unlimited Command & Control Console

Universal Unlimited Command & Control Interface, part 1.

Dreams are meant to be channeled here.  Creative thought engendered through haptic, auditory, and visual feedback of a polyutilitarian assemblage of electronic and mechanical components.

Here is version 1 after laser cutting and bonding of acrylic:

A friend remarked that it was difficult to see.  I tried to explain the transparency of function aesthetic and was met with a blank look.  The image below should make the interface easier to see.

If you still have difficulty, here it is on its own.  Unfortunately, I have run out of nuts to fasten the binding posts and banana plugs in place.  This is a giant bummer.  I have containers of them at my studio in San Diego.  Looks like time to break out the hot glue.

I’ll start soldering tomorrow after I install the rest of the contacts.

Battery or Cell?

1 Comment

Watch, “coin-size,” AAAA, AAA, AA, C, and D sized single electrochemical cells are marketed and sold as “batteries.”

The cell’s voltage and amperage are dependent upon chemistry of its electrodes and electrolyte (including surface area, chemical purity, and volume) as well as its storage and operation conditions.

Technically a battery is made from multiple cells connected in series or parallel. A twelve volt automobile battery and a nine-volt battery are examples of batteries comprised from multiple single cells.
