Applied Procrastination | DIY Ferrofluid Display - First Full Test & Assembly - Fetch #6 @AppliedProcrastination | Uploaded August 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
All the electronics for our DIY ferrofluid-display get assembled, and we perform our first full integration test! Will anything catch fire? Will the display work? The answer is... Kind of both, unfortunately.

This episode we spend countless hours assembling electronics... But persistence pays off! So we finally get to test the full integration Fetch! We also have to solve some problems, debug some burnt electronics, find a clever way to measure polarity (who's got time for a compass, anyway?) and dive into some schematics.

As a student-project at the University of Oslo, we have designed and built a massive ferrofluid-display with 252 electromagnetic "pixels". On Applied Procrastination we will share all the details of this project and hopefully inspire you to make something similar - or follow your own dream projects.
