-The antennas should be placed inside the hood and above the mirror plate (see the [http://www.wirelessleiden.nl/album/index.php/hardware/LeidseLantaarn drawings]. One solution would be to use a raspberrypi-2 or -3 with usb-wifi-dongles. Ideally the poweradapter and battery pack should also be located inside the hood (no installation work in lantern base).

 == Radio interference ==
 In the setup with wifi-interlinks (5 GHz) and two accesspoints (both 802.11g and 802.11a) there are four antennas in the hood, closely spaced (30 cm). Moreover the construction of the hood may interfere with the radio signals.
 
+== Art project ==
+The basic idea is to put a led display behind the little square window in the hood to show some artistic image. For instance the GPIO could be used in combination with a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT3VL4rtqS4 RGB dot matrix display]. Several [https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/the-eagerly-awaited-raspberry-pi-display/ display connections] are available on the raspi.
