Learning electronics

Usually when people don’t post is because they don’t have anything to say, but to be honest this wasn’t definitely the case, probably just the wish to say/show something more interesting but this time I rekon it is worthy to post.

As you can eventually notice from my recent delicious bookmarks I finally started using the wiring board I bought a year ago and the book I bought few months later (Physical Computing by Dan O’Sullivan and Tom Igoe). Continuing my backward journey inside interactive artifacts (before from graphic to programming), I couldn’t avoid to get to the electronics (I’m wondering where I could get later :) ). Since my early experiments with computer vision and my passion on interaction design (especially with GUI). I really had to get the knowledge to start making experiments with different input devices to explore new doable paradigms. And about that I already have a small project in mind which at the moment I’m just waiting a new sensor to develop it. So, expect news about it soon.

In these days of relaxing I had also time to think about a totally different project but not to ruin any surprise I have to leave you with no info about it, but also in this case news can come very soon.

  1. What are you using? Arduino? Phidgets?

  2. As you can see from the picture, I’m using wiring. I bought recently an Aruino Mini but I didn’t have time yet to play with it. I hope I will have it soon.
