Modern Astronomical compendium

Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Laser Cutting

This piece was inspired by astronomical tools of the past integrated with modern technology. The planet locator utilizes Gustav Holst's seven-movement suite and a magnetometer sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi. As you orient the object towards the coordinates of where the planets were located the night Holst first performed the suite, the sensor detects your movement and plays the corresponding song of the planet you are facing.
