The first sketch of the Piston Honda, by The Harvestman. The Piston Honda is a wavetable oscillator with an easy to use interface. Waveforms are stored in lookup tables which are divided amongst banks. The data is stored on an Eprom. The Piston Honda will hold 2 Eproms at a time and you can switch between them via voltage control. You also have VC over bank and table, amongst other parameters. A lot of the software from the Hertz Donut can be ported over to use with this module so the Piston Honda might not be too far behind. LINK: twitter.com/harvestman .

Katerina Undo Creatures Cluster, 2014

Creatures Cluster is an endless combination of living members, composed by miniature robots that live autonomously, receiving their energy from solar cells and generating a variety of soft sounds and tiny movements. The Creatures are developed with two simple analogue oscillator circuits, inspired from the nervous system of organisms. Every module is special and unique and it is impossible to build exact equal. According to the interaction that occurs between them, clusters/systems are developed that organically interact with each other in a reciprocal way. The sculptural and auditory nature of the synthesis – radiation of the chaotic – refers to the functioning of a nervous system, as well as to systems of social cooperation and alliances.

1. Product Overview :

XT1511 side is a smart LED control circuit and light emitting circuit in one controlled LED source, which has the shape of a 4020 LED chip. Each lighting element is a pixel, and the intensities of the pixels are contained within the intelligent digital interface input. The output is driven by patented PWM technology, which effectively guarantees high consistency of the color of the pixels. The control circuit consists of a signal shaping amplification circuit, a built-in constant current circuit, and a high precision RC oscillator.

The data protocol being used is uni-polar NRZ communication mode. The 24-bit data is transmitted from the controller to DIN of the first element, and if it is accepted it is extracted pixel to pixel. After an internal data latch, the remaining data is passed through the internal amplification circuit and sent out on the DO port to the remaining pixels. The pixel is reset after the end of DIN. Using automatic shaping forwarding technology makes the number of cascaded pixels without signal transmission only limited by signal transmission speed.

The LED has a low driving voltage (which allows for environmental protection and energy saving), high brightness, scattering angle, good consistency, low power, and long life. The control circuit is integrated in the LED above.

2. Main Application Field:

●Full color LED string light, LED full color module, LED super hard and soft lights, LED guardrail tube, LED appearance / scene lighting

General Radio 1603-A Z-Y Bridge:

A lab-grade Z [Impedance] - Y [Admittance] instrument from 1959 to 1961. It listed for $695. That was a ton of money. It still needed the optional 20Hz to 20KHz oscillator and a narrow, low noise detector. I actually downloaded the manual for it a few days ago. I bought it for $50 about 10 years ago. Unfortunately very few of todays hams know or would even bother to learn how to use it. It has been collecting dust. I will try to hook it all up and se if it "jives" with component values and reading from a more modern LCR bridge. [If you call 1975 modern] With a 20hz input it can read well into the Henry range of inductance! I know, I know Zzzzzzzz.

However as art:

Well the dials look like something out of the movie Brazil, so I tried to capture the macabre array of dials close-up.

I built the modem on 2 boards. This one contains the modulator and demodulator circuitry. The modulator is on the left, and consists of 5 TTL ICs formin a clock oscillator and divider chain. The division ratio is controller by the serial data input, thus producing the required tones.

The demodulator is the 4 ICs on the right. The 2 8-pin ones are phase-lock loops to detect the incoming tones. The logic ICs above them produce the carrier detect and data outputs.

The 5 transistors between the 2 ICs on the left are the RS232 interface. The single transistor to the left of those drives the line switching relay

There are connectors on this board. In a column on the left edge they connect to the front panel LEDs, RS232 connector and front panel switches. The 3 pin connector in the centre bottom carries the transmit and receive audio signals. The 4 pin connector at the bottom right carries +/-5V DC power and the drive to the line relay coil.

V&A Dundee

Juniper Auditorium

1 Riverside Esplanade

Dundee, DD1 4EZ

With a tide of change sweeping the globe and the socio-political landscape increasingly subject to crisis and change, automation, algorithms and AI are playing an influential role within this paradigm.

So who are we to trust? This panel of artists and technologists explores the complex anthropomorphic relationships we have with gadgets and robots and how this shapes our world view. The panel will include Kirsty Hassard, Jan de Coster, Professor Ruth Aylett and Julien Ottavi.

About the Panel

Kirsty Hassard is curator of the Hello, Robot. exhibition at V&A Dundee, which investigates how robots are helping to shape the world we live in, showing how design is a mediator in this relationship between human and machine. A relative newcomer to the world of robotics, she was previously assistant curator of Furniture, Textiles and Fashion at the Victoria and Albert Museum and was assistant curator on the Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion exhibition. She has an MA in History and a MLitt in Dress and Textile Histories from the University of Glasgow. She has lectured and published on the relationship between print culture and fashion in eighteenth century London and Paris.

Jan De Coster grew up with a vivid fascination for physics, science fiction stories and hacking stuff. In college he realized that all the stories around science were often far more appealing than the theory behind them, and in the mid 90’s he started on his first multimedia productions.

In 2007, Jan founded Slightly Overdone Robots, a production studio which explores the horizons of Human-Robot interaction, where he has been making interactive installations and Robots ever since.

On his quest to make Robots a more widely accepted creative medium, Jan is now teaching young and old about building Robots, focusing on the design and the process, and the way they make us feel.

In the late 90’s Jan De Coster started making interactive projects and physical installations, with a strong focus on storytelling.

Jan has a background in physics and engineering and worked at different Advertising agencies at the beginning of his career. In recent years, he started teaching and giving workshops and lectures about innovation, creativity and especially robots. These workshops have brought him to visit and engage with creative communities from Qatar to Mexico. His robots have been travelling the world as a part of different exhibitions and his social robots explore the meaning of human-robot interaction.

Prof Ruth Aylett – Ruth is Professor of Computer Sciences in the School of Maths and Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University. She researches Affective Systems, Social Agents in both graphical and robotic embodiments, and Human-Robot Interaction, as well as Interactive Narrative. She led three EU projects (VICTEC, eCIRCUS and eCUTE) in the period 2001-2012 applying empathic graphical characters to education against bullying (FearNot!) and in cultural sensitive (ORIENT, Traveller, MIXER). She also worked as a PI in the projects LIREC (investigating long-lived robot companions) and EMOTE (an empathic robot tutor). She led the EPSRC-funded network of excellence in interactive narrative, RIDERS. She is currently PI of the project SoCoRo (Socially Competent Robots) which is investigating the use of a mobile robot to train high-functioning adults with an Autism Spectrum Disorder in social interaction. She has authored more then 250 referred publications in conferences, journals and book chapters, and has been an invited speaker at various events, most recently AAMAS 2016.

Julien Ottavi – Doctor in Arts, Composer, Artist, Curator. A mediactivist, artist-researcher, composer / musician, poet and tongues destroyer, experimental filmmaker and an architect, founder and member of Apo33, Julien Ottavi is involved in research and creative work, combining sound art, real-time video, new technologies and body performances. Since 1997, he develops a composition work using voice and its transformation through computer. Active developer of audio/visual programs with Puredata, he has also developed since many years DIY electronics (radio transmitters, oscillators, mixers, amplifiers, video transmitters…etc) in the perspective of knowledge sharing on technological development. Main developer for the Gnu/Linux operating system APODIO for digital art and A/V & streaming diffusion. His practices is not limited to the art spheres but crosses different fields from technological development to philosophy / theoretical research, biomimetic analysis, robotics and experimentation. For many years he reflects on the relations between experimental practices and collective practices within the creation of autonomous collective groups, putting in question the authorship strategy of the “art ideology.”

Generates audio tones at varying frquencies that can then be used to test signal paths in radio broadcasting or recording studios, also useful for testing speakers and amplifiers.

We were always aware that more powerful equipment based in Blighty would eventually supersede our old system. This gives a good idea of how far out we were on the airfield. The German army still hadn't taken over barracks at that point, but I believe it was only a matter of weeks before they did .

Virginia Beach, VA Virginia Beach (Independent City)

The Atlantic Coast and Chesapeake Bay served as a major transportation corridor for commercial traffic from the early 18th through 20th centuries. Cape Henry Lighthouse marks the south side of the entrance to Chesapeake Bay and is considered one of the most important lighthouses on the Atlantic coast. The Lighthouse is the earliest cast-iron-cylinder light tower in the state of Virginia; at 163 feet, it is the tallest cast-iron-plate light tower in the United States. The world's first synchronized radio beacon and electric oscillator air fog signal was put into commission at Cape Henry Lighthouse in May of 1929.

The construction of the first Cape Henry tower (1792), a National Historic Landmark, was the first public works project completed by the new federal government. In 1872, cracks extending from the base to nearly the top of the tower on the north and south walls were first reported by inspectors, though only eight years earlier the tower was reported "in excellent order." The Lighthouse Board, fearing the structure would collapse, recommended a new and more substantial lighthouse be built of the first order since it was considered "one of the first lights of importance along the coast." It was also noted that the 30-year-old frame keeper's dwelling was in a "dilapidated condition," too small for the number of keepers stationed there, and too far from the tower to insure "proper attendance." An estimated cost for the new tower and quarters was $85,000 with a request to Congress for $50,000 to commence work. This request was renewed in 1873 and 1874. In 1875, the request was raised to $75,000 and renewed again in 1876. Congress finally appropriated this amount on June 20, 1878. In 1878, the Board requested an additional $25,000 which was renewed in 1879 and, finally, appropriated on June 16, 1880. A second request for still another $25,000 was appropriated on March 3, 1881, to complete the lighthouse station. Of these two additional appropriations, $48,063.52 was spent in 1882. (1)

Art plays a unique role in all Trader Joe's locations. Palo Alto is no different. TJ employees painted murals on most of the walls depicting Palo Alto landmarks, past and present. The nearby HP Garage is shown here. A train full of cheese pulls into the Palo Alto train station in another mural while Stanford students and Trader Joe's employees rally around the legendary "Stanford Axe" in another. "Peninsula Joe's" Creamery is one of the other sights.
