The idea of this project came from my youngest son. He was dreaming of a small tool able to write symbols or pictures on a screen. As a graphic LCD (even bought at Crownhill

Yellow Submarine is an entertainment table that has electro mechanical diorama embedded in the glass top.Every element in the circuit has their own role. We made a domino effect connecting six electronic circuits which means the last part of each circuit triggers the next and makes a storyline. There is only one user input at the beginning that make the whole thing happen. There is also only one output, a mechanical counter that shows how many times the story has been run to completion.[more]
