Another contribution I gave to the FabFoos project is the electronic score counter, called MichelangeLED.
While building the table we faced the challenge to create a nice score display system. I suggested to use LEDs instead of a physical counter because of the innovative nature of the project.
At first we wanted to put the diodes on the surface of the wood, but I wasn't happy about that idea. So I thought about hiding the LEDs inside the wood without sacrificing the light. The idea was to mill cylinders in the wood leaving only a thin layer of material on the top.

This project shows how easy is to create tools for Communication Design using Fabbing techniques and OpenSource Hardware.
During my stay at Fab Lab Amsterdam I thought it would be nice to have a tool for shooting video of 3D object. Often a static picture is not enough to document a complex project.

Jeero is a simple rotating plate powered by a cheapo servo motor controlled by an Arduino microcontroller.

This project is an example of how you can use digital fabrication machinery to create tridimensional communicative artifacts. It consists in a small-scale back-light logo, that can easily be imagined as a shop sign.
