Hello RPF!
I joined as a premium member a couple of years ago and have been watching and learning from so many people in this community. I joined to try and learn how to best approach my project which I wanted to share with you and get some feedback. Escape From New York is one of my favorite movies of all time - I'm a massive fan and so I started a project to to reboot Snake Plissken's countdown timer from the movie. There was a thread here on the RPF a few years ago but it seemed to fade away so I thought I would try and make something really cool - I'm a software guy and never done anything like this before so it's been a really exciting journey and I've learned so much. Here are a few photos:
It's a countdown timer but it's also a watch (time, date, stopwatch). It's also got a Bluetooth radio and a bunch of other sensors and will pair with your phone. I'm launching a Kickstarter to raise funds to move this to production and I'll be sharing progress as I go. I've gone to great lengths to do this the right way and I'd really love to get some feedback and thoughts from you all. Thanks for the inspiration! I'll be posting more photos on my twitter/etc accounts as well.
Thanks!
Jonathan.
