Physical computing resources
April 16th to 18th, 2008 - from 10:00 to 17:00
Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board, and a development environment for writing Arduino software.
MaxMsp and Pure Data are cross-platform real-time graphical programming environments designed for music, signal processing, video, multimedia and 3D graphics.
Pduino is a extensive and flexible project by Hans Steiner that allows you communicate with the Arduino-board through Pure Data without writing code in Arduino. It is firmware for Arduino and a matching Pure Data object. Get the Pduino object + firmware or get Pduino for Max by Marius Schebella.
Files used during workshop:
- hi-ka-sk workshop pdf based on Tod E. Kurt’s and Lady Ada’s Arduino Lessons.
- The Spooky and Bionic Arduino files of above. (49Mb)
- Electronics for artists pdfs by Mark Allen for the Machine Project workshop. (1Mb)
- Books and papers on electronics etc. (22Mb)
The wikipedia is always a good plays to start, bien sure. But here you have two more specialized sensor repositories. ITP Sensor Workshop Wiki, Sensorwiki
Dan O'Sullivan is an associate professor at ITP, the interactive media program in New York University. Along with Tom Igoe he co-authoured Physical Computing: Sensing and Controlling the Physical World with Computers".
His webspace, The Book
Tom Igoe is in charge of physical computing classes at Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University and co-authored Physical Computing: Sensing and Controlling the Physical World with Computers" together with Dan OSullivan.
His webspace, An interview on we-make-money-not-art, One of his projects
Forrest Mims first published his book "Getting Started in Electronics" in the beginning of the eighties. This handwritten book is still very valuable for anyone who wants a basic introduction in Electronics.
Wiring is a programming environment and electronics i/o board for exploring the electronic arts, tangible media, teaching and learning computer programming and prototyping with electronics.
Some good webshops: sparkfun, farnell, rs-components
Local shops are Radiohome and Gentronics in Ghent and Elak Electronics in Brussels.
These workshops are open for all HISK Candidates/Laureates and KASK students. Seats are limited.
