I love the V&A and this was a great event with some truly innovative and creative ideas brought to life. My favourites being the drawing robot arm and the brain wave machine, which I still don’t entirely understand.
Category: Making things
I do like to make things, although I’m really not that good at it
Nexus + Arduino, first step …
Getting these two finally connected is just the first step! Loads more to do with this as I think it’s going to form the basis of a number of projects for me.
Some more pictures of the Waveshapper project
I’m hoping to get some more time to finish this off soon.
More Waveshapper progress
More progress. Slow, but worthwhile. I’ll get there in the end. I know it!
Waveshapper progress
Making some progress on the Arduino waveshapper shield kit. I’m pleased with the quality of my soldering though. It’ll take a while to finish off, but it’ll be wo
Wave Shield kit – Here’s the board
So, here’s the board for the wave shield. Not the most complex in the world, but certainly the most complex I’ve attempted. So I’m going to take it really slowly.
Look what arrived …
My Raspberry Pi arrived in the post! It is somewhat overwhelming to see so many people do really cool things with their Raspberry Pi’s, so I wonder if my plan will even work. We’ll see.
Concretedog on projects and purpose
I really liked this post from the ever interesting Concretedog. I absolutely agree with his thoughts on this.I’d probably go further and say that an element of experimentalism in everything is worth attempting.
So, make, experiment, learn stuff, and most of all, have fun doing it.
Thinking about what to do with Sugru
I’d heard of this stuff before, but I’d never used it. I got this sample from the lovely people at Technology Will Save Us when I went to their talk the other day. The sugru web site has some really good examples of how people have used the stuff.
So the only question remaining is, what should I use it for?
Now I’ve got another Lumiphone kit
I’ve made one of these before, but I got given another kit at the talk I went to given by Technology Will Save Us. So I guess I’ll make this one and then maybe have a little lumiphone ensemble!
