Dedicated Hardware development for Empty Epsilon

BSG could serve as a good source of inspiration for the kind of ship we're simulating: http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/CIC

Stations

• Comms Station: Retro mic and speakers with rugged covers.
• Weapons: beacon (rotating orange lights) when shields are up.

Comms station

TBD

Weapons station

The orange lights are connected to an Arduino Relay Shield. The Arduino runs simple code to control these ports through serial/USB from the PC inside the station. ToDo:

• Get shield
• Get beacons
• Hook them up
• Code Arduino stuff
• Create some kind of client program on the host (A REST API for Arduino to run on localhost)?

Other suggestions:

• A large TV/monitor as the main screen
• Audio system with sub-woofer
