limpit shell lights!
how fantastically fun are these?!

I get more ideas by the minute. I, officially, am in love with electronics.

just to rub it in that i need a mac
too much to get excited about, too little time to fit it all in before degree ends
TIL116 opto-isolator
- may need one to go in between the arduino and the mp3 player
- another interesting way of controlling audio through an arduino

1 and a half weeks left!
til studios get cleared for end of year shows. eek.
Plans as always becoming more and more complicated as the time goes.
so far degree show piece will be:
an audio sample playing through surround sound speakers in the big proj space,
it will be triggered through twitter (plan A) or through a simple whisker switch attached to a door somewhere around the uni (plan B).
the audio is a 32 beat finger click that i've zushed up a bit on cubase, the idea being that it's a rhythmical metronome-esque sound that should fill the space and go on a little bit longer than is really comfortable.
Out of the whole of this year the one thing that i have been pleased with is my work being described as dominating and annoying, something I have been called as a person anyway, and by no means take offense to.
The twitter plan would be ace, have my arduino dem. all ready for action and am just trying to figure out code and circuitry. I am a complete novice at arduino tinkering, having entered the realm of the super exciting 'makezine' a few weeks ago thanks to Gail. Adrian McEwan made a very similar bubble machine operated by Twitter, of which I have already shown my jealousy and wonder at, (I started this year with bubbles and filling spaces with them, so it's a bit of a confidence punch when someone does it so much better!) but yes, the whole of the headaches and magical alchemy that is the arduino will be all hidden from view and my input to the show will look quite sparse. thinking it isn't enough.
the basic switch plan would be quicker, and more immediate for the people at the degree show, with none of the technology existing in the ether of the internet.
and therein is my dilema:
- to arduino or not to arduino?
- enough or not enough?
- impressive or understated?

Getting Started With Arduino How To Build A Twitter Monitoring Alertuino
Adrian who invented Bubblino has ever so helpfully put this up! A thousand thanks in every direction.
