It is already a year since CIID -the Copenhagen Institute for Interaction Design- opened its doors with its Pilot year. Now the participants in CIID’s first educational endeavor are presenting the outcome of their research. Here the flyer in case you are interested in visiting their show. CIID is well known for their excellent social […]
Rob Nero, one of the MA in Interaction Design at the School of Arts and Communication, Malmö University, had the idea of using laser beams and IR sensors to develop a flat multitouch surface. It has some drawbacks, but it is 100% Arduino made, using breadboards, resistors, IR transistors, 4051 multiplex ICs, one Arduino Mini […]
Open Softwear is the latest project at 1scale1. It is a free book (CC-NC-SA-2.5) introducing basic concepts about microcontroller programming through Arduino, and using it in when crafting interactive garments. The softwear book project is open and looks for collaborators to help with proofreading, adding new examples, translating it to other languages, or photographing your […]
I just finished a quick sample project for the Arduino Mega, doing a project that comes up all the time, and usually requires a multiplexer, Max7219, or shift register: controlling 128 LEDs with a Mega. In this example, there’s nothing but a mega and 2 8×8 LED matrices. Whee! And yes, that’s a nifty light […]
Next week is the final presentation of the Physical Prototyping projects by the Interaction Design BA. students at K3. They are working hard, sometimes too hard, making it to the point of not thinking clear about the consequences of e.g. attempting to power-drill a hole on the plexy case of a project without taking the […]
Since we started the Southern Scandinavia Arduino meetings last year, Mikael would pop up to show his latest music instrument, discuss about some funky projects or just drink a cup of coffee. During our last meeting in Malmo, he came out with his best kept secret: Gobetwino, a Windows program that can link Arduino boards […]
Moises Mañas is an artist as well as professor at the School of Fine Arts, University of Valencia. We met because of common interests and have worked together a couple of times. Currently we prepare a workshop we will be hosting together in San Sebastian in the summer 2009. His personal art career has drifted […]
If you have nothing better to do during a winter night in Sweden, you can always hack a couple of libraries together and make a third one. SDplayWAV is for people interested in playing sounds from SD cards. Builds upon previous work by Ladyada, Ronald Riegel, and Michael Smith. I felt like shooting a movie […]
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 […]
