Having a truly evil time trying to find 100mm sliders, let alone their motorized counterparts. I just keep finding the small ones.
See here:
Got leads? Lemme know!

It dawned on me recently that I’d never posted the final cricket code here, so I went back, did some touch-ups, and slapped it up here. If anyone’s going to try doing this, the line breaks may goof things up. This is also assuming you’re using my wiring setup, with two relays (one attached to [...]
So the NIME project moves on, but a bit slower than I’d hoped. The good news is that the Max side of things has taken leaps and bounds forward. I’ve altered the effects a lot, tried to keep it truer to architectural-minded sounds, and generally cleaned up the patch. It now sounds much more like [...]
The software side of my NIME project is coming along really well — actually much better than I would have hoped by this point. So far, I have a patch that mangles audio all over the place, and thanks to an extremely helpful meeting with Jamie, I now have a pile of ideas to work [...]
So good news on the NIME front — SMS is still working very well, and I’ve gotten it to read six (and eventually ideally eight) simultaneous ins on the Arduino and map those to adjustable attributes. Here I’ve got those very simply mapped to a few parts of a sine wave:
I am infatuated with urban spaces and the relationships people have with them. If you have ever wandered a city late at night, half-lost, looking desperately for something — anything — that you haven’t seen before, hoping to find inspiration in the everyday and the extraordinary alike, than you speak my language. Through [...]
I started thinking I’d just project pretty things on an ugly surface, and that’d be fun, but it was quickly brought to my attention that there was no content there. That, of course, is a big issue with projections — can’t approach this from a tech-first-content-later angle, as the whole thing hinges on the [...]

I’ve been tinkering with ways to address my physical movements as Max controls, and while I started with MIDI, I think I’ll be using SimpleMessageSystem (SMS) in Max/MSP to view and control the Arduino instead.
In this shot, I’m just turning an LED on and off by clicking a button in a Max patch, but lord, [...]
Jenkins and I have been working for a few weeks on this bluetooth data logger idea, trying to capture and map the colors and movements of the day. We finished our first “real” prototype for the logger, which looked like this:
And here’s an initial mapping of the data:
.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; } .flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }
Apparently, this is the kind of ads that the aforementioned stories trigger in Google.
*sigh*
