Hello, here we have some live web cam from the internet (you can change to a number of different ones or include your own) getting some effects changeable by the phidget. Slightly boring as the web cam updates every 1 second and therefore so does the effect. If you wizz forward in the video you can see where I just used the web cam on the computer so the effects are more instant but some nice matrix stuff going on. What else is nice with this patch is that you can record and save what you do into a nice little .mov file .

So I’ve finally got an arduino robot, appropriately named BOTduino, running around doing my bidding – LESS THE WIRES!
the robot of DOOM
It’s controlled wirelessly from a website and uses arduino bluetooth board to function. I’ll post more photos and a couple videos of it in action tomorrow.

Iv been working on getting flash to read two values from the arduino to allow for creating applications with 2 potentiometer inputs. Iv only been able to send one value to flash so iv created a sequence of 2 different ranges that arduino cycles through for the different analogue inputs. Flash then checks which range the value is in and uses it to control 2 different movie clips.
heres the relevant section of the code for arduino and flash.
Arduino Code
int firstSensor = 0; // first analog sensor
int secondSensor = 0; // second analog sensor
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);}
void loop()
{
firstSensor = analogRead(0)/4;
delay(10);
Serial.print(firstSensor, DEC);
Serial.print(0, BYTE);
delay (50);
secondSensor = analogRead(1)/4;
delay(10);
Serial.print(secondSensor + 257, DEC);// adding 257 meens its in the second range in flash
Serial.print(0, BYTE);
delay (50);
}Flash AS2 code
serialServer.onData = function(data) {
if (data<=256) {
_root.mc1._y =10*(data) – 400 ;
} else if (data>256) {
_root.mc2._y = ((data) – 257);
}

…pointing him towards this was all I could do to help – http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00001717.html
I think that he solved the problem of managing integers in the end.

I have been exploring methods of using the wiimote control as an interface device. The most famous implementation of this is Johnny Chung Lee – http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/ .
I have managed to get the same method working using vvvv, using velcromes wiimote plugin – http://vvvv.meso.net/tiki-searchindex.php?highlight=wiimote
Here is a short video of the results:
And some images:
Additionally i have begun to explore the possibilities of utilising the wiimote for mobile projection screens, heres a short video of early results:

I’ve assembled and soldered the ¨TV-B-Gone¨ kit consisting of a Microcontroller outputed to high powered infra red L.E.D’s. It works on some TVs but not on others. For more details checkout http://www.ladyada.net/make/tvbgone/ (includes an epic video of the kit in use!)

And one more before home time. The colour of a fibre optic controlled by the keyboard, could easily be anything else.

Got Quartz working with the Phidget. Took a week like but I did it. Here you see nothing to aesthetically pleasing, just a quick test using a particle system. Looks like a digital bubble machine as each particle has been assigned a halo image. A slide potentiometer moves the x-position of the particles and a pressure sensor increases each particles lifetime (scatters them in layman’s terms). I’ve been trying to output from the phidget to the controller of a remote control car. No luck yet but if I do I should be able to control it with a Wii!
