Raspberry Pi GPIO driving Servo

Posted March 9, 2016 by Chris

"I have experimented with GPIO on the Raspberry Pi, just turning an LED on and off here. But since then Ben Croston has improved the RPi GPIO Python library to do most of the work in C and I can confirm that it is a lot faster. Driving servo motors requires precise timing, so I decided to see how the Pi would perform this task."

Happy Days or Staging Beckett with 11 motors

Posted March 7, 2016 by Chris

"Happy Days is exploring narrative in the form of an installation. It is staged without human actors or conventional (verbal) dialogue in a non-theatrical space. We chose to stage Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days since, as performing a ritual in the play, overshadows the performer, the object of the ritual can survive on its own."

Intrinsic Optical Signal Imaging Chamber IOSIC

Posted March 5, 2016 by Chris

"Intrinsic optical signal (IOS) imaging is a functional imaging technique that has revolutionized our understanding of cortical functional organization and plasticity since it was first implemented, around 30 years ago. Even if IOS imaging lacks the ability to directly measure electrical neuronal function and track data at a fine temporal scale, it has some advantages on electrophysiological techniques, such as the capability to visualize functional architectures via the simultaneous sampling of a large cortical region with high spatial resolution."

eLearning Series: Getting started with CPLDs

Posted March 3, 2016 by Chris

"Here you will find links to all the articles that make up our CPLD for beginners guide. We’d love to hear your feedback about this guide. If we’ve got something wrong or if there’s anything specific you’d like us to cover, please don’t hesitate to get in touch."

ISPnub – Stand-alone AVR In-System-Programmer Module

Posted March 1, 2016 by Chris

"ISPnub is a simple to use stand alone programmer intended for flashing AVR controllers in the field directly in the target system or during production. The module has only one button and two leds as user interface."

How To Write A Library For Arduino

Posted February 21, 2016 by Chris

"Libraries are files written in C or C++ which provide sketches with extra functionality, for example the ability to control an LED matrix, read an encoder, connect to a sensor, display, or module, etc. They are very useful to lower the barriers for creating amazing interactive projects and use a wide range of components. Libraries can be created by everyone and shared with the open source community!"

Polyphonic FM Synthesizer with STM32F031

Posted February 17, 2016 by Chris

"I’ve built a playable, MIDI capable, polyphonic FM synthesizer using an 32bit ARM Cortex M0 microcontroller and an audio codec. This was a learning experience for me. You can find the finished form of the system in following two images."

Capacitive Touch Piano

Posted February 15, 2016 by Chris

"Our project designs a touch piano with 3 octaves (37 keys) by connecting a handmade piano-like touch-sensitive keyboard with a PIC32 microcontroller. The sound is generated by using Karplus-Strong algorithm with debounce function and with a sensitive reaction time of several hundred microseconds."

Tiny Mic Pre-Amplifier

Posted February 13, 2016 by Chris

"The Tiny Mic Preamplifier based is based on a single transistor amplifier design. It amplifies the output of the electret condenser microphone. Good choice for Karaoke."

Prankophone with Synthesizer

Posted February 11, 2016 by Chris

"Prankophone is a sound object being a hybrid of synthesizer, telephone and logic module. The main principle of the object’s functioning is as follows: depending on the current mode, the apparatus calls to random or pre-defined recipients and plays them algorithmic melodies created from their phone numbers. The speakers transmit both the synthesized sounds and the sound from answering person."
