someone who's doing some things
At times wonderful, and at times totally frustrating too. That’s technology, my experience of it anyway. I do a lot of stuff with technology and I suspect I will continue to do that.
It’s great news. It couldn’t be soon enough. I know that they’ll take a while to get them out to everyone, and that I shouldn’t expect it too soon, but it’s exciting nonetheless. Of course, the one thing that is missing at the moment is the iPhone app on the app store.
I hope that it gets here before my pebble does.
Looking forward to getting this moving, other projects permitting of course.
Sample sounds from an Arduino with no additional hardware running the Mozzi library.
I’ve been spending some time with the Mozzi synthesis library for Arduino, and it really is amazing! I had no idea that the arduino could do that kind of synthesis so well. I’m really impressed with it and now I’ve got loads of ideas for how to put it into practice.
Update 25 – iPhone SMS and iMessage from Pebble Technology on Vimeo.
I was hoping that the Pebble would arrive before Christmas, but that’s not to be sadly. However, it’s great that it’ll display SMS with iOS6 and I’m looking forward to getting it in the new year now.
I would be forced to buy everything.
I found this stuff at the V&A Digital Design Weekend. It’s great fun to use and the card kit is excellent. For £10 (I think) you get three cards and all the components to make them into little electronic greeting extravaganzas. What more could you want?
The actual conductive ink is sticky stuff and requires a little patience, but it’s worth it for the finished product.
I was able to go along to a workshop held by Technology will save us. A great little tech company with a fantastic ethos. The workshop was at Rough Trade East and was all about making a DIY synth. Something very close to my heart. Sadly, some of the components used in the kits didn’t work at all and so the whole thing ground to a halt about halfway through.
It was a real shame actually as it had all been making a lot of sense up to that point, and so I felt really quite disappointed by the event. I know that they’ll figure out a way of sorting things out, but it wasn’t a great experience sadly, especially as I’d been looking forward to it so much.
It was really quite an amazing piece of technology. It did quite a good job really, but most of the pictures took around 30 minutes to get them done. Not bad I suppose.
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.
