someone who's doing some things
Yeah, you know, just your regular geeking out with stuff.
Having got a taste for this kind of thing from using my Shruthi-1 I’m now considering getting a meeblip, which looks like a lot of fun too. Initially I was looking at the meeblip micro, but as it’s out of stock for now I’ve moved on to the meeblip SE.
I even checked if there was a TouchOSC template available for meeblip. There is! So if I can control it using TouchOSC I can do a lot with it.
I may have talked myself around.
Another little video that’s been posted elsewhere I know, but it’s here too now, and I’ve been enjoying my Palm PDA renaissance of late, especially the whole controller experience. There’s more to come too.
Looking forward to getting this moving, other projects permitting of course.
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.
I’m not sure how, but I think it needs to be done!
I’ve been thinking about what to do next with my Romo, and one thing immediately comes to mind. Using the three output ports at the front. I’ve been thinking about what I could do with those and especially what could be achieved musically using a tiny robot. I guess that’s what’s really interesting.
So I’ve started to gather some information on what the output from the ports is and then I’ll need to start some careful testing too. More on that as it develops.
Using Sphero with Shapesynth is really quite addictive. Video coming soon, but probably to Palm Sounds first.
I’m really intrigued by the idea of physical objects interacting with the real world, which is why I decided to get a Sphero ball. It’s a very interesting device, and there are a few apps that work with it, including especially Shapesynth, which makes some amazing sounds.
So I’m just getting started now on this, and starting to think about how I can use Sphero in a variety of different settings.
I posted this over at Palm Sounds, but it’s a good picture of Genome running on the iPad and controlling Paul’s Shruthi-1. So it goes here too.
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?
