An early prototype for a two-way switch that can be manually toggled, or remotely switched on-and-off. Initally made for the thermostat prototype, the auto-switch became an integral part of the Candle Smart Home Prototypes as a method to add physicality to the normally unseen process of digital information flow in the Smart Home.

Exploring time-signals with Roel Roscam Abbing – A first test in recieving and decoding the radio signal broadcast from the DCF77 station in Mainflingen. The PCB includes a reminder to keep the antenna pointed in the general direction of Frankfurt.

Very pleased that one of the PCB designs from the Data and Devices objects has been re-worked into the cover images for Sabine E. Wildevuur’s “Designing information and communication technology to enable person-centered care in chronic disease management”. Photography by Cees Beuzekom, and graphic design by Pier Taylor.
