Check it out!

The semester has finished off in a whirlwind! It was intense, but I enjoyed every grueling minute of it. I left yesterday morning for Reno, flying out with Jake and Pete. Above is a picture of Trinity. As you can see, it has changed (for the better) since I originally began working on it.  I [...]

I’ve been working day and night trying to finish up my stack of papers and get Trinity to a crit-able place. Yesterday, I cut the cameras from their batteries and figured out how to bypass their play buttons. I had to bypass them because when you send power to the cameras they turn on, but [...]

MY CODE WORKS! Yay!!! The servos are choreographed. Not only that, I just laughed at a joke that I found in my code. Wow, so nerdy. I need some sleep.

Here is a video clip of my three servos running off of an Arduino. I figured out the angles that I need, now I need to time and choreograph their movements. My three hacked CVS video cameras are going to be mounted on them, they’ve already got their sound and video clips and are just [...]

Here is an audio file that I have been working on for Trinity (formerly Christian Myspace Robots). All of the text was taken from Christian Myspace forums.  The visual component of this piece is coming along as well, I will post pictures later.

This is how I was going to create motion for the Christian Myspace robots, however, now I am going to simplify and just have them turn and face each other, no more dipping of their heads and other unnecessary motion.  Now I will only need three servos, and not use any pulleys.  It is a [...]

I haven’t posted on my work in a bit. This is because A) I haven’t made as much progress as I’d like to have over the last few weeks. (Although I have written a lot of papers!) and B) I have several new pieces that I’ve been working on that I haven’t felt were ready [...]

Allright, check it out. Today in Continuum we did this lab. It was pretty awesome. It’s the first time that physical computing has actually made sense in my head. Here is a video clip of Jess with my project. He is squeezing some conductive foam (that I’m using as variable resistors) and making my ball [...]
