history

• 13.08.15: (CCCamp15) First working prototype. Trigger is pimped with a pushbutton and sends messages via mqtt. We used this as trigger for a warnlight.

• 31.08.15: (beta1) Better logic and use of mqtt topics. Also added a vibration motor as feedback channel. Now 2-way communication works. \o/ Next step: fancy webinterface with control panel.

• 05.09.15: Created a website with liquidfun.js fluid simulation and exhibited at AEC Festival in Linz. This website is linked to the watergun: doebi.at/watergun
