Hackaday Prize Finals (Patreon)

I entered SHE BON into the HackaDay Prize in the Human-computer interface category. =O 

I made it through the first round of submissions so I'm technically in the running for the Prize itself......... which is exciting. It however has also dropped a hefty todo list on my lap for this month so far. 

Happily, I'm almost done with all the required documentation. Mark and I only got the core system working a day or so ago, so it's functioning at minimal capacity... but working none-the-less.

The two things that are now in a finished*ish* shape are the POPgirl interface, which tracks the sensor data received from the various sensors throughout the SHEBON network of wearables, and the butt winch.

If you'd like to take a stab at building a cool arm-mounted user interface (or just want to see how I built it), I just posted my build instructions on my hackaday.io page for SHEBON.

The butt winch works pretty well. Far better than I thought for something that is a first iteration of a system that did not physically exist three weeks ago:

Here is the weight of my butt literally tearing the make-shift cable I was using on the winch:

This close-up of my butt is also the very last thing my goPro ever saw. Sadly the poor thing bit the dust this morning :( I've had it for three years now and its seen some serious action in its time with me. 

I'm telling you this because I want you all to know that your support this month will go towards purchasing a new one. :) So thank you! <3 <3 <3

I'll post more soon!

PS - If you're my patron and I have your address, expect one of these soon <3
