Some time ago the guys at Fablab Italia in Turin joined a city exhibition of art, design and related. The exhibition is hosted in Vanchiglia, a neighborhood of Turin, and it’s called Vanchiglia Open Lab (LOV). The project they managed to bring to the Open Lab is really interesting: a digital lathe which lets you […]
[Alan Rorie] developed The Simple Act of Making a Mark, an installation about abstracting the creative process: The machine begins by looking at what is placed before it and detects patterns within it. The machine then traces those subtle patterns, amplifying and solidifying them until generative patterns emerge autonomously. The installation uses an Arduino Uno, an AdaFruit […]
[Leight] posted an interesting use of the LCD Shield by SparkFun as a waterfall visualisation (a.k.a. plotting signal strength and frequency over time). “Cascata” is the Italian for “Waterfall”. Nice one. Cascata is an Arduino Waterfall display program built using the Arduino and the Sparkfun Color LCD Shield. It has a selectable 0-4 kHz or 0-2 kHz […]
We have previously talked about FireFly, a set of software tools dedicated to bridging the gap between Grasshopper (a free plug-in for Rhino), the Arduino micro-controller, the internet and beyond. Now it comes with its 1.006 new features like the Arduino Code Generator, Upload to I/O Board, UDP and OSC Listeners and Transmitters, XML Search, and State Detection. […]
Most of people working in the field of biological or scientific research should greet the open hardware applications we are witnessing in this age of Garage Science. From the Phduino to the DIY Oscilloscopes, through STM (Scanning-Tunneling Electron Microscope), Arduino is getting used to prototype tools that used to be more expensive and possibly unavailable […]
Hypnotic installation from David Bowen representing *real* waves. […] Tele-Present Water installation draws information from the intensity and movement of the water in a remote location. Wave data is collected in real-time from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data buoy station 46075 Shumagin Islands Alaska. The wave intensity and frequency is scaled and transferred […]

Really interesting notes & circtuits about how to fell high voltages. This circuit is a simple electric field detector. It can can detect very faint electric fields present around powered electric lines. […]
When working on 20×4 (or bigger) lcds font dimension can become an interesting issue: [liudr] shared & updated its Phi_Big_Font library The Phi_big_font library utilizes 3 X 5 dot matrix technique I developed to display characters 6 times the size of ordinary characters seen on HD44780-compatible character LCDs. You will need two rows and 4 […]
As seen in the streaming of Google IO 2011, physical computing and interactive enviroments are one of the main topics opening the conference. The Android Open Accessory Kit is going to allow Android related devices receive data from different sensors (just via USB, for now). The Android Open Accessory Development Kit (ADK) provides an implementation […]
