Printer disassembly + baby

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

A stop motion animation from my studio in Berlin 2011 where I disassemble and reuse old ink jet printers to construct new a series of kinetic artworks. Guest starring Joelle and four-month-old Sophia.

Fritzing for designing electronics

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

I just discovered Fritzing; an application for designing electronic projects and laying-out PCBs. The software is dependable, has a useful website with tutorials and project examples, and they are even starting a fabrication service in Dec 2010. Fritzing was started in August 2007 by the Interaction Design Lab at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, Germany.

When you launch the software you begin with a breadboard. Then you drag components from a large list on the right, choosing options for the parts. Adjusting rotation, color, and placement is all fairly intuitive. While I found working with “2.5D” perspective is a little awkward at first, you get used to it. For output, you can select between Breadboard, Schematic, and PCB views on the bottom right.

Here’s a design to accompany a previous sketch, Fading an LED with PWM and a Potentiometer

You Never Close Your Eyes Anymore (mock-installation-in-pa-shop)

Friday, June 25th, 2010

Here are a couple installation shots of You Never Close Your Eyes Anymore leading up to the AC Direct installation in New York. Everyone should be so lucky to have a retired shop teacher for a father in law!

Fading an LED with PWM and a Potentiometer

Using a potentiometer and PWM on an Arduino to fade an LED.

Two stepper motors, one directly connected to PWM on BBB

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Testing to see if this motor can connect directly to PWM on BBB (Freeduino).

Code embedded in previous post.
