Things to make and do

This project has several parts: backlit the wheel, mount the wheel to the wall or on some stand, and make the wheel control something. It would be nice to be able to unmount the wheel and take it somewhere else, e.g. to display it at events like OHM.

Painting

Who: Narya

  • NO color painting!
  • I will fix the scratched parts with varnish

Backlit

Who: Narya and Brainsmoke

  • RGB LEDs are ordered
  • Make a plan for controlling the lights
  • Order rest of the stuff
