Processing Serial Read ( for Arduino Communication )
Here is the Serial read code that we wrote a while back to deal with the problems we were having reading serial data from Arduino.
Processing CSV reader
This is the basic CSV reading code we wrote on Friday, it has some problems but I’ve adjusted it a bit since Friday and we can work through other issues as and when we reach them.
Updated:
multi_column_csv_read
The Prototyping Lab is a the new name for room 212 the space at the end of the 2nd floor corridor (opposite the GDNM office). Its got a new name and even a fancy new logo designed by (Bob Wilson).
Prototyping Lab is more than just a room however, it is about encouraging and equipping students with the skills to make what they conceive rather than being limited to rendering an animations, drawing a diagrams or presenting PowerPoints to name but a few outputs.
So often students ideas are limited by what they believe they can make with their own hands, which often leaves great ideas tethered to the computer. Prototyping Lab will include workshops in many areas and utilise new equipment within the department and the college as a whole.
Sound interesting, click read more to find out what we’ve already got and whats coming…
Arduino Amnesty
Happy New Year and all of that. Hope the season of festivities passed with festivity. Welcome back!
We are looking to pull together our dwindling Arduino resources to help us deliver a workshop in data visualisation next week. Please help fortify our 6 Arduino by bringing in all those that have been out on loan.
Workshop Links – Day 2
Robert Hodgin’s notes on what he left out of his Eyeo talk.
Eyeo’s Vimeo where they have many/all of the videos from last year’s conference.
Processing’s PrintWriter for text file output.
See you tomorrow at 11 in the same place (open access macs) & we can get making.
What does Technology want?
Hello all,
If you came along to the ‘Food for Thought’ talk on Tuesday lunchtime you may recall I mentioned a book entitled ‘What does Technology Want’ by Kevin Kelly. This link above is to a podcast by the fantastic Radiolab exploring the subject.
2 week Brief
Present information from an external sensor and/or dataset, utilising audio or visual techniques.
[See you on Thursday, at 11am in the open access Mac area.]
Kodachrome Film
The final nail in the Kodachrome coffin came at the end of 2010 when the last lab that processed the film, Dwayne’s Photo in Parsons, Kansas, ceased its support. In Kodachrome’s final years, every roll sent to Kodak for processing from around the world was sent to Dwayne’s. This mini-documentary created by Xander Robin offers an interesting glimpse into Kodakchrome processing at Dwayne’s Photo before it came to an end.
