Gamelan

Required Parts

• beer bottles: shouldn't be a problem
• anykey0x for controlling the whole thing
• Remote connectivity (WIFI via RN171? Virtual USB serial port?)
• Multiplexing 100 output pins (probably Shift registers?)
• Enough power supply (100 mA per bottle * 100 = 10A!)
• Enclosure?
• Some plugs? We probobly don't want to solder everything into one piece...

Per bottle

• Motor (vibration motor? DC motor with something attached to the rotor?)
• Driver (Transistor? Current limit resistor? Back-EMF capacitor and/or diode?)

Other Materials:

random components, prototyping boards, wire, solder, sensors (light? sound?)

Questions:

• Are there nice shift registers that can drive the motors directly? (need 3.3V-compatible logic inputs)
• Should we drive other stuff? (Solenoids, LED's, ...)
