Visual Foxpro Serial Communication Arduino And Processing

Part 1: Looking Outwards Check the archives of the websites linked here on the left column, especially We Make Money Not Art, Neural and Creative applications. Find a project you really like and review it on this blog. Part 2: Blue Sky proposal This is a roleplaying exercise: imagine you are a media artist with a big budget. Your goal is to make a proposal for an art piece, either a gallery installation or a work in a public space.

Arduino as ISP; Visual. API to PHP to Processing to Arduino to 74HC595. Control most Arduino functions via serial communication with a computer- reads state on.

Write description and statement and prepare convincing visuals, schemes and/or mock ups that describe the project in action. * You don’t have to implement the project, so be ambitious.

* Keep what we learned with Arduino and Processing as a reference for what can be done with physical computing. * Please nothing that is only screen-based or purely formal (like Processing generative art). Make an artifact that creates a meaningful relation between the Internet (Twitter) and the “physical” world. It can be a tweeting sensor or an object that responds to the flows of information on Twitter. Or there can be a two way communication. Ideas are more important than technical complexity. *The point is to connect the physical world with the digital world: Twitter to Processing or Processing to Twitter is not enough.

*If you are reading data from accounts that you are not controlling, first make sure that the whole system works and then try to run it with the actual data. *Don’t think about Twitter as just a personal microblogging platform but as a scale model of the Internet, a model that is extremely easy to parse and analyze. Pretty much every institution, group or media has a Twitter account, the possibilities are endless. *If you are not familiar with Twitter find out how and work. *If your project is ambitious enough you can ask for an extension.

Pitch your idea via email before Monday and I may give you some more time. Due date Monday 21. Due Wednesday 16. Describe your Twitter project in the comment section below.

Here are some of your building blocks, some of them will be covered on Wednesday: – Tweeting from Processing – Looking for tweets from Processing by account name or basic parsing (somebody tweets a specific word). – Read sensors and control actuators via Processing/Arduino – Capture images from the webcam – Post images on Flickr from processing – Everything you already know about Processing – External Processing libraries from the internet.

You have two options for this assignment on Actuators: 1. Make a “social robot”: not a proper robot (we don’t have the equipment for that) but a machine that produce a life-like behavior that exploit the Eliza Effect 2. Make a “ArtBot”: not a proper robot but a machine that produces some kind of “creative” artifact. The only requirement is an input-process-output cycle. The thing has to receive an input from a sensor or from the computer via Processing and produce a meaningful output through motor and or servo. Important This is how you control servo and motor from Processing.

Omega uses precision lasers to etch its serial numbers, so you may have to use a magnifier to read it. For vintage Omega watches, the serial number was often engraved inside the casing or on the movement itself. Older Omega watches may only have the serial number on the inside of the watch, requiring a quality jewellery or watch repairer to open it. More Modern watches have the laser engraved usually on the back of your watch. E For Omega Speedmasters with serial numbers >47 million refer to Roman Hartmann’s original Omega Speedmaster Evolution table for more specific dating. F This serial number data item not given in Hartmann’s data but empirically derived from a consensus of users in various internet Omega collector forums. Omega Serial Numbers and Production Dates Note that Omega began using ETA movements in some of its watches in about 1980. This table does not include accurate dates for Omega/ETA movements. Omega serial numbers. This chart is in no way a substitute for contacting Omega Vintage Information with the Serial Number of an Omega movement and requesting information as it is a very inexact guide (perhaps as close as +/- 1-2 years). However it is potentially useful for narrowing down the vintage of Omega Watches.
