OpenLOCK Torch Wall and Battery Base Released

Added 2017-02-22 23:50:41 +0000 UTC

We're really excited about this release. We've taken the strengths of OpenLOCK and made a flexible system for doing electrical tiles.

First, we have the Battery Base , which is an E 2x2 tile that contains a CR2032 battery, and can provide power to any number of the ports on the bottom (though I generally only power one).

Second, we have the Powered Clip which provides leads that take power from a battery base to any other tile that wants power.

Finally, we have the Torch Wall , which is an A 2x0.5 wall that connects a flickering led from a led votive candle to the openlock port.

This is but one possibility of the kinds of effects we can now do given that we have a basic standard for power with OpenLOCK! We were inspired to work on this idea from a patron who added it and then got it voted on in the new backer site. If you have not yet signed up, do it and let me hear what you want! If you have, go vote on tiles and add ideas of what you want me to work on.
