9 pieces — 1 object, 8 kit parts. Every card is running; touch it.

  1. LED bar chart Kit part · A bar chart built like a studio meter bridge: columns of LED segments behind a smoked window, green then amber then red, with a peak segment that lingers and a lit readout for the exact value.
  2. Needle gauge Kit part · A moving-coil panel meter: a printed scale under glass, a thin needle that swings past the mark and settles, a lamp for the bands and a small LCD for the exact reading.
  3. Ring meter Kit part · The kit’s donut chart as an instrument: a ring of lamps behind dark glass in a spun bezel, lit clockwise from twelve like a studio clock’s seconds, with the value in lit digits in the middle.
  4. Chart recorder Kit part · A strip-chart recorder: gridded paper advancing under a pen that rides a rail, drawing the live value as the paper moves and printing the time in the margin. For p95 latency, tokens per second, grid frequency, a cold room’s log.
  5. Lamp heatmap Kit part · A heatmap as a matrix of small panel lamps set into the plate: each lamp’s brightness is the value, off to full in four steps, with a printed legend. Deploys per day over a year, incidents by hour of the week, energy by the hour.
  6. LED matrix Kit part · A dot-matrix display of round LEDs behind smoked acrylic, each with its own bloom and a short warm-up and fade. Status words in a 5×7 face drawn for it, a sparkline, bars, a few icons: “DEPLOY OK”, tokens per second, queue depth.
  7. Plot Kit part · Line charts drawn as light on glass, or as ink on a panel: gridlines faint, two traces at most, a red line for now.
  8. Glass Kit part · Dark display glass for plots and live readouts, whatever the finish around it. Everything printed inside it is lit.
  9. Phosphor Scope Object · A cathode-ray tube behind smoked glass. The beam leaves light behind it: a radar sweep lights your contacts and they fade, a trace glows where the signal lingers. Real afterglow, not a blur.
