build a tree

[jmej]

besides physical fabrication we need to identify how many (and which) tv's we're using - and make sure we have adapters for them

Need to Measure the little CRT's to get their dimensions (*edit: see below for dimensions), determine method of connecting them to the video sources, source the live streams (the live streams I'd love to have things around the globe but some local trail cams to Oregon if possible) Osprey Cam: https://www.earthcam.com/usa/massachusetts/essex/?cam=essex_osprey

I have an idea for a piece of interactivity with the tree

Okay I’m gonna get working on something to register RFID with Arduino/teensy, then build that an API that everyone can interact with, as well as write up documentation for it to make everything clear.

CRT TV sizes:

VRT x3 8 3/4 in x 8 3/4 in y 1 ft z

DVD x2 8 3/4 in x 8 3/4 in y 13 1/2 in z

Panasonic x1 11 3/4 in x 10 1/2 in y 13 in z

I sent an email today to some businesses I think we can get scrap (or maybe new) building materials from. Do we have a parts/materials list going yet for the structure? If not, can we start one somewhere?

Envelope for the shelves to hold the TV (largest width, largest height, largest depth of TVs) Width X: 11 3/4" (round to 12") Height Y: 10 1/2" (round to 11") Depth Z: 13 1/2" (round to 14")

Maybe we add a playable structure/instrument to the tree? (also for live performance)

e.g.

My idea is to use leaves instead of shells. We could use Rhododendron leaves (thanks Allure!), the structure would be 4ft-6ft in length and 3ft in width. A piezo pickup could be attached to the top to trigger something reactive in either or both rooms. A mic could also be used (maybe a condenser hidden in the tree?) facing the structure and could be morphing the sound of the rustling leaves via dsp and/or trigger something reactive in either/both rooms. Just a thought from a percussionist, please let me know if this aligns with the overall goal. If we don't need it no feelings will be hurt. Thanks!

...adding to above.

This could also be a structure that doesn't have to be a part of the tree.

After some technical issues with CAD software I have now obtained (AND SO CAN YOU!) a free year of Fusion 360 for designing and printing! I'll post a render of the tree once I get it up and running so that everyone has and idea of the plan and can submit revisions and questions suggestions etc etc

WARNING HEIGHT AND SLAT SIZE NOW INCORRECT SCROLL FURTHER FOR ACCURATE HEIGHTS I've posted the drawings (dimensions) of the tree structure in the collective drive along with the OBJ files if you want the model! Here is the fusion Link to the drawings: https://a360.co/3WldFWa Fusion link to the CAD files: https://a360.co/4a1V1FT

ROOT SUPPORTS - Root Support Flatpack Drawing 1_1 v1.pdf

FusionLink: https://a360.co/3KpxJj3

I am going to have it printed to-scale on blueprint paper at office max, cut it out & use it as a template to trace onto the plywood. Speaking of which we need a few sheets of plywood, the root dimension for the "spine support" (the silhouette of the root shape that is the actual jack support) is 24" x 18" and we can put two diagonal from each other on one sheet of ply and cut out all the little pieces in the middle, the support pieces i have as thinner material in case we couldn't get enough .5" but if we go with all .5" I will just have to adjust the drawing to make the slots wide enough!

My friend is willing to lend us tools and some equipment I can make a list of what we need but like what do we need for all these things to be made. Like what tools screws nails etcccc
