In the final part of the course we developed a group work for the Alte Staatsbank.

'''Read more about it on the [[GMU:Computing_with_Thread/microbank64|microbank64 page]].'''

=== What we have done ===

List of things we did, to make it work.

* got a small working room in the alte Staatsbank, where we can develop our artwork
* took pictures of the posters that outline the history of the Alte Staatsbank. <br> Check your Emails.
* did experiments with the bullet proof ''Panzerglas''
* drew customers, bank peoples, a robber and a security guy 
* figured out how to set up the whole logic gate structure on paper
* prototyped mechanical switches for the lamps and investigated their wiring
* drew the dollhouse, pencil and digital version
* produced 80 pulley wheels
* decided for which signal refers to which room and which person 
* asked if we can use the original 6 bit light system
* asked how the 6 bit light system worked in context
* finish the textile computing module 
* created a processing framework to run the dollhouse
* create Drawings for the dollhouse
* created an arduino sketch to communicate between 6 bits of light and the dollhouse
* ordered electronics and mechanical parts for pulleys
* constructed a (safe) mechanism that allows peoples to interact with the structure
* created characters and sprite sheets
* adjusted the aesthetics + size of microbank and characters
