I am starting my review series talking about the microSD module from Libelium. It is a tiny board (45x23mm) that can be used with any microcontroller platform able of communicating over SPI. I got it with a 1GB microSD card and a set of male headers that allow connecting the board to the digital pins […]
I got a whole bunch of Xmas presents this year and I promised myself to take some time to make high quality stuff out of them. Libelium, the Arduino distributor running the Hacking Life contest, sent two pieces of their microSD module, two GPSs, two Solar panels, two GPRS modules, and some other small things. […]
During the last year we have been involved in the process of conceptualizing, constructing, programming, and debugging an installation for a Danish group composed by Anna Vallgarda and Henrik Menne, commissioned by the IT University, Denmark. They are a series of 9 planks controlled by Arduino Diecimila boards with SmaplerV2 as interface to microphones, servo […]
This week we had mid-course presentations at K3’s first year class in Physical Prototyping. The brief was to create toys or digitaly agmented board games playing with the issue of time. We have been running this course about four times in the last 6 months and the results are just getting better. As usual, the […]
The Copenhagen Institute for Interaction Design is running the Interaction Design Pilot Year in collaboration with the Danish Design School. Dave Mellis works there, Massimo was teaching a basic Arduino course some months ago, and I just finished a short position as advisor for their Tangible User Interfaces course. It has been an intense four […]
Oh yeah! A 256 buttons Monome in action. I was the other night on Arduino’s IRC channel on Freenode (/join #arduino at irc.freenode.net/8001) when Bastian Chroos posted a video about a 256 buttons Monome. I couldn’t help it so I asked him for some pictures just to check the wiring of that board. Here you […]
The guys from Libelium are launching their 2nd Arduino Hacking Contest. Their deadline is April 15th, here I quote Alicia Asin -one of the company owners: Hi again! In 2008 we promoted the 1st Arduino Open Hardware Contest, which showed (one more time) Arduino boards’ big potential (www.arduino.cc). The 2nd Arduino Contest is opened now, […]
I met Alejandro Tamayo in Helsinki in February during Pikselache 2008, besides the Finnish sauna experience -that includes beer drinking and sausage eating half naked on the snow- we share an interest in electronics, education, and working with extremely small groups. Picture courtesy of Alejandro Tamayo, follow his flickr account for more In the past […]
Sounds like a strange dinner with the weirdest guests ever, but it is a project from hardcode.tv showing an RC car controlled from different devices where Arduino takes care of hacking the controller. Take a look at their video and enjoy. screenshot from hardcode's first video
In Argentina I got told to ask for the famous “Bife de Chorizo”, a juicy steak served more or less everywhere. I spent three weeks working with Buenos Aires’ Ministry of Education in promoting the lab-in-a-box project and teaching secondary school educators in the use of open source technologies. We developed interesting examples using a […]
