| Description | Fun "art" and museums project for old electronic stuff |

Idea
We had a lot of old PCB boards, that have not much practical value anymore. But the boards are nice too look at and could be a cool example for visitors and other member. So the idea came up to hang them to the wall. The current idea is to have some PCBs well structured at the bottom (tree strunk) with some labels what they are and then extend the build to kind of a tree top at the wall. The upper part can be more chaotic and we could also add more and other electronic stuff like cables, old switches, motors, ... => Would be also cool to light it up later with some fun lights or have some funny moving parts.
