These are more parts to the puzzle I don't actually have an answer for.

The disk is some sort of timekeeping mechanism. I loved the aesthetic of the machine, but I've lost my notes explaining the history and significance of the device.

I took these pictures in the Aarhus Clock Museum -- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Old_Town,_Aarhus

If anyone from Aarhus, Denmark runs across this photo, do you mind running over to Old Town and telling me what this machine does?

Thanks!

80GB Seagate hard disk, pre-destruction

A floppy disk, or diskette, is a disk storage medium composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic carrier lined with fabric that removes dust particles. Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive (FDD).

Prototype 4x4 block for the matrix 8x16 with color disks. This way I can use colored discs with the pic and place robot. The color of the discs is displayed on the neo-pixel matrix. There is still a lot of work to be done for the supply and removal of the color discs. With an I2C color detector, I should be able to sort them and put them on the right place.

As shown in the photo, you can transport the small discs quite easily, even vertically. This is because internally they contain a small neodym magnet.

My pic and place header has already been modified to take these discs and place them in the 8x16 matrix. With RoboPro, I can make the color drawing. For the pixel color there is a choice of 8 predefined colors.

Whilst recycling an old Compaq server, I thought some of the parts needed to be recorded in history. This is one of the pictures.

If anyone knows any background about the item, please send me a comment.
