The Idea:

Since i was primarily working on a light- control- circuit for another Modul while we where in the course, i thought about doing this also for my last projekt in our electronics class. After i tried for a month my best to get my intended light- controlling- system working with just "hardware" and without any programming involved i had to gave up and just programmed it instead. But with this, 2 weeks befor our initional presentation date for the electronics class, i had nothing to show, since i didn't wanted to show some programming in such an electronics class.

And since each man should "make a child, plant a tree and build a house"in his lifetime, i took the experiences i gained from experimenting with the light- controling- system and used them to fullfill this saying.


How to build a house in less then 2 weeks

Bevore someone could possible plant trees or get a family you propably should first build the house since it will be the home for everything.

So...how could i build a house? And not just any house, i wanted a cool house. But...not to big at the same time, my housekeeper would kill me if there would be a new house standing in our garden...and i somehow had to transport it to weimar to show it there... So...it had to be small, cool looking and packed with nice features.

After thinking about LEGO, paper, little rocks and wood sticks i finally came to the concluson that i don't have enough time left to experiment first and i also wasn't really happy with me ideas before. So i went to my cupboard of wonders as i like it to call since there i store nearly everything. From broken and working electronics, to crafting material and just stuff i thought " you could need this later on" and searched there for something useful. What i found was a model construction set for a little house, some plastic foil and some LEDS and electronic componements.

So first i buit the outer walls of the house and got the window frames it the modell and used the plastic foil as windows. The doors and one of the ceilings i left open since i still had to install all of the electronics.
