The last 7 weeks I have been in London working together with the Arup Foresight team with one of their projects called Faraday. The project is about how Science can be taught in the British schools in key stage 3-4 and the end product is a building proposal for two new Brittish schools that is being built this year. Together we have developed concepts and end product specification in six different categories ranging from how robotics can be used in educations and what and where to buy the products to how to display the history of the school and use that information in education.

Poweruino is the latest circuit from 1scale1. It has the possibility to control more power demanding components with PWM than an ordinary Arduino yet still retains the possibility to use the numerous sensors and code examples available to the Arduino platform. It also incorporates pins for i2c communication and a possibility to solder an RGB high power led straight onto the board. The board is designed as a part of my final thesis work at the Interaction design program at Malmo Univeristy circulating around color and light. The circuit will be used to visualize power consumption by illuminating and animating a wall with different colors.
