With the end of my project looming I decided to visit the space that will be used for the end of year exhibition. After consulting with Jen it became apparent that the 'ideal' design for my installation would have to be slightly comprised to fit in with the space. I have decided to create the illusion of a train station as best I can my using a PC situated on a desk along with my analogue public display board. The space will be also enhanced by using a clock, arrival time board and station sign, as well as speakers for ambient sounding. Once setup I will then evaluate whether or not the space can cater for a bench, but this I must stress will be decided upon nearer to the time.

Final Year Studio - Development - Multiple Stepper Output
After getting one stepper motor to work the next step wire up multiple stepper motors. This involved using four control relay switches, plus four motor relay switches and one ground relay switch for each motor. The motors were alternatively driven and were animated by simply turning their ground connection 'on' and 'off.' This resulted in a very complicated circuit, that in theory when adapted will allow me to directly control each motor and dictate which letter will be shown.
