Jan – March 2018

Andy does the coming out with his idea – Timeqube. Based on a simple prototype made out of cube-shaped lamp bought off Ali Express. The idea catches on publicity on Facebook and is a direct trigger for Andy to move on with the project.

Late 2017

3 years later, Andy converts his idea into the first ever prototype. He does this with his friend Patrick who knows his ways with Raspberry PI and Arduino.
