    Default Here's the projector

    This is the projector in its inner case minus the lid obviously, scanners are CT 6215HP's . This all goes into an IP44 casing ready for its big moment

    Sorry 'bout the crappy iPhone pic... Will be testing tomorrow, so more to follow...

    Spent all day yesterday up on a roof with said porn star, so here are some more crappy iPhone pics...

    The mirrors and motors are up on their posts:

    Doesn't look that bright as its only running at about 2 watts right now while we continue to test the remote control... So far, so good, we have remote control and full visibility through the IP camera from 3 locations. The airports all have remote eStops which text 3 phones when activated, so we can then restart the system when they give the all clear...

    Next step is to program the actual sculptures and sync up with the mirrors as they rotate... Then it's Boris time

    Very happy with progress so far
