Introduction: Interactive Warner Bros Water Tower

By

This is an Assistive Tech Project I built for my Physical Computing class at Boston College with Professor Gallaugher.


Warner Bros. is celebrating 100 YEARS of storytelling, so I made a rustic miniature “WB water tower” from the original theme video. This product features sound clips from famous movies like Harry Potter and Inception, bringing back memories of fun and cozy movie nights with family and friends. From Oscar®-winning films to unforgettable television shows, this water tower is a must-have for any fan of Warner Bros. The project is for one of the Boston College campus school classes in their curriculum.


How it works:

Press the pads, sound turns on, leds turn on. One of the pads is stop.

Step 1: Laser Cut

  • I used this flexbox
  • I cut out the WB logo frame
  • I cut out the WB logo outlines from cardboard
  • I put some parcialmente paper behind
  • I cut a sliced circle that I glued together to be a roof
  • I used some special double sided furry tape on the rim to make the roof stable and easy to take off

Step 2: Electronics

  • I used raspberry pi pico w
  • I put 7 pieces of copper tape on the roof
  • under that, I wired some pins to that touch the copper tape
  • these wires were connected to the touchpads
  • 6 sound files and 1 stop pad
  • all the electronics are under the roof, inside the cylinder
  • wire the speaker
