Hardware

22" Ilyama LCD panel, Atom based NUC (board only) with Low Voltage RAM, USB WiFi adapter (could have used half sized PCIe + antenna – but I’ve got a ton of USB WiFi left), extended ethernet.

Mostly made out of plastic (hardened polyester) and metal, unlike the wooden version.

Actual design:

Intel Atom based NUC, USB WiFi, Chinese (what looks like LG) 15" LCD panel + controller, 2 power adapters (LCD panel + NUC – different voltage & AMP). Frame made in wood.

LCD panel:

Made inhouse by my dad. ;)

Pictures while making the frame:

Due to interference (GSM? WiFi (very very unlikely)? High voltage power lines?) we moved it to the side, as seen below.

While it is blind from half a side, it can see all the way up to London and beyond.

This is the result:

First tests at Glaverbel (circle or “O” shaped building) in Watermael-Boisfort with 12 lifts (about a year ago). Internet wiring makes a whole circle from the internet connection at the technical room (near entrance hall). In this design from the 1960s the lift machine rooms had one shared/common room where we installed switches (to avoid having to pull too much cable and to overcome cable length issues). High quality shielded cable was used to avoid signal loss over the distances we did.

demolished a unifi from Auki and build a 3D printed Turtle around it.

Came out very nicely, and it’s quite solid.

Opened up unifi:

About a year later… Except not being white anymore, it still looks good. Outdoor unifi (previous model) connected to Auki.

Picture enhanced by Google Plus to add dramatic effect. ;)
