We originally made more letters and planned to put the entire word "MAKE" up there but it would have been very hard to make windproof and signs of more than 1 m in size may require a building permit. Therefore, we settled for the "M"-shaped antenna as the only element.

Project-default.png
Status: in progress
Release Date: March 2018
Initiator: Lukas
Team: Johannes, Fio
Materials Used: scrap wood, nails, screws, rocks
Tools Used: chop saw, cordless drill, hammer
Approx. Cost: cents (mostly recycled materials)


We integrated our sound system's radio antenna in a little wooden "sculpture" that we put on our roof.

Done:

  • make a letter "M" out of scrap wood
  • attach radio antenna to the "M"
  • route antenna wire to the sound system
  • attach weights to letter legs

Next:

  • install RGB LED strips
  • let the LEDs indicate whether the space is open
