99Fridays: Last Minute Systems. Joi started an initiative at the lab to support low pressure experimentation with party technology, so Brian and I have been having fun connecting things to other things. We’ve got a system (actually mostly Brian. Last Friday night we did one at Redstar. With the directors fellows. And bounced all the data for the party off a machine at the lab with basically no latency penalty. No problem. Work on code/soldering/machining during the party? No problem. We’ve been...

Sam Jacoby | 99 Fridays & IR Throwies
http://www.samjacoby.com/posts/2012/9/26/99-fridays
99 Fridays and IR Throwies. Thanks to the inestimable efforts of Valentin Huen. We pulled together a whopping 500 IR. For the Media Lab’s latest 99 Friday dance-party. Project-showcase. I use “we” rather loosely: I was racing against a conference paper deadline, so Valentin heroically recruited a small army of people to scale up the IR. Project. It came off pretty well. Throwies under construction (photo courtesy of Valentine Huen). I had a batch that I tested with an Arduino and an IR. Here are the fina...

In preparation for a workshop last weekend—I populated the ten bare-bones boards I’d picked up from Advanced Circuits (see my last post. I’ve done a bit of this now, but with Brian’s. Ever-essential help, I got really cruising. The ten boards probably took about an hour with a few hiccups. Applying solder paste, using ResEnv’s. Package—so not the smallest out there—but pretty damn small. Throwing down Atmel 168s. Toasting the solder paste under hot air. Soldering on the alligator clips by hand. Header if...

Belongs to the category of things that make me feel bad about myself. It keeps company with technology executives who turn treehouse builders. Itinerant and beautifully-penniless bicycle adventurers. And Instagram feeds of lithe young people on sunwashed yacht outtings with Derrida paperbacks. If you're into that good kind of hurt (and I am), it's a solid, quick read and well-worth picking up. Read on ». Rolling with Backbone Marionette. Read on ». If you drive in Iowa on the interstate, at least you can...

With the proliferation of smart phones, radio communication has become incredibly difficult to make reliable in stadium settings. To address this for Ariana Grande’s Honeymoon tour, Brian Mayton. And I, along with Bill and Nick at Shure. Designed custom hardware and software to support wireless control of Ableton and hardware vocal effects using the UHF and 2.4Ghz band. Here is a short excerpt from the documentation for the project that explains some of the challenges:. City Symphonies →.
