Ahh. The electronics class is over, and I still have so much of my work to post. In the mean time, check out this great article/interview on interactive art by Daniel Rozen, http://www.digicult.it/digimag/article.asp?id=578. It gets to the heart of the intent of the electronics class. And I found it by searching for something completely different. Ahh, the interweb.

I received new temperature sensors in the mail late yesterday eve. Oh joy! today I managed to get one to work. The kind I got is called the LM35 from National Semiconductor. It's output number is in millivolts, which has to be converted to temperature for any kind of serial port publishing. The conversion to Celsius and then Fahrenheit is commented out for now. Also, I have created a

Hey everyone, check this out, http://www.sensorwiki.org/index.php/Sensors . Since I don't know how to do hyperlinks, you may have to cut and paste.

At some point a few weeks back, I tried to get a motor working. Controlling the motor through the Arduino proved difficult. Ok, for some of us, nearly impossible. Here is a pick of my setup - including a touch sensor. It's tough to not know if the problem is physical or computational (the equipment, not me).

I completed the Game...long ago. The final version has one LED going on when the metal is touched and the other LED blinking according to the score. Once the metal maze is touched six times, the game resets.

Can you speak "blender"? Kelly Dobson can. Another fine moment for the creative elite. This s a funny example of the kinds of things we can now do. Hooray!

Last week, we used the Arduino logic board in conjunction with our game. It is a simple solid state logic module, or something like that. We will be writing code to tell it what to expect from the world and what to do about it (inputs and outputs). It is all based on low voltage electrical signals.What is cool about the board, and this type of simple (physical) computing, is that many things

I made my game. From this I know, no self surgery. My hands are too shaky. I blame the coffee of course. First I made one that was way to hard, so I had to make a "beginner" version. Here is George playing.

For the second class, I held my (required) 5 minute "Art Talk". My talk was about the installation I saw at the Whitney in 2003, called Listening Post. Created by Ben Ruben with Mark Hansen, it was a field of phosphorescent screens working individually or in tandem and displaying scrolling words or phrases, while some of the words/phrases were spoken or sung by a synthetic voice. It was a

The first assignment for Art of/and Electronics, is a simple game involving a 9v battery, a resistor and an led. The picture is a test of what my game might be; moving a loop along a wire, from beginning to end, without touching. No touching!

I am back. It is the second year of school, and I will be using this blog for my Art of Electronics class. I also would like to publish the progress on my Furniture Studio. This is the reason for the photograph of my "dining room" table. My project will be some sort of table, for the dining or living room that deals with stuff, things, and how we use these places in our homes.I don't think I

This lamp is the kind of thing I was making before school. I have not posted anything on this blog, due to the absurdly busy life in the first year of school, and general shyness. With time, I hope to share more, with more time and courage. 01 Graham LampOriginally uploaded by 4EBER.

Hello. I am glad you found me. I am starting graduate school at Pratt Institute for Industrial Design. (http://www.pratt.edu/industrial_design_grad/about ) I am so excited. I hope to share with you here some of the work and process.
