DTMF

I had some success today with breadboarding a DTMF based 16 channel audio sequencer. Thanks to John Schuch for the original idea and for drawing up the schematic. The basic idea is to be able to route an audio signal to any 1 of 16 speakers. You ...

I'm going to participate in the Circuit Bending Challenge tomorrow, so I hit the Op-Shops in preparation. The nice charitable Christian types that run them don't seem to like opening their stores on a Sunday for some reason.

I boxed these up pretty much straight after Electrofringe finished up, but I haven't had a chance to take any photos until today. I think they turned out very well and they feel quite good in your hands when your playing with them.

Sweet! They've scored a bunch of MacBooks to use for the Process Space. They have these funky transparent shells with a big colour printout inside, telling us that the laptops are sponsored by www.mac1.com.au .

Fun with sea moss

I've been playing with the Arduino a bit more. I bought a couple of PCB-mount RGB LEDs from Jaycar and tried them out with some different example sketches. The most fun has been this auto-cossfading one by Clay Shirky. It looks quite impressive w...

We cannot escape this miserable world

Just testing the Vox video upload feature with something I made a couple of years ago. The original file is 73MB, MPEG2 encoding. Not sure if it gets transmogrified by the server.
