    Awesome Panel! It Definitely will be epic to see this in the museum!

    A friend of mine has a broadcast clock using that projected image display....and it too WORKS. When I was young the now gone, Sheraton Gibson hotel had 5 Haughtons, and they had those displays. A larger window on those would display the name of certain floors: M mezzanine, BR ballroom. Too cool, and they had a buzzer that sounded momentarily as the doors started to close! I am impressed with your knowledge at your age....very impressed

    I don't even think words can describe how great of a job you did on this Jason! Can't wait to see what it looks like at the museum!

    I can almost see this simulator being a sort of test of the idea and I have a feeling more are yet to come. What an amazing job! I love the sound of the relays switching to the different numbers. Such an amazing project!

      This isn't a test, this is a full implementation! Only problem I ran into is the power supply is too weak.

      @@stlelevators Working with power can always be tricky. I'm sure you'll figure it out soon enough. One thing's for sure, you have much more experience with soldering together stuff and designing your own tech. For me my strengths mostly seem to lie in troubleshooting different items and eventually finding out how to repair them.

      @@baelevatorsmore728 It's just the supply I bought doesn't output enough current to keep everything running. One tap on the alarm bell and the whole circuit cuts out since all the current that's available goes towards the alarm.

      @stlelevators  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some actually do that. It’s also more for letting you know that the car is actually “moving” since there’s no physical movement or sound.

      A generic company in Vancouver does that. Northern elevators do that too.

    I love the clicks as the indicator changes positions. I'm curious, how did the panel get to Roanoke? Someone tasked with a road trip I assume.

      PI = Position indicator not Raspberry PI. I'm also not using a raspberry PI. Updating the desc to be more clear.

      What kind did you get? Is the lantern connected to the panel? The museum is in Virginia. You can see more about it at museum.elevator.fan
