phooky is currently certified at Journeyer level.
Name: Adam Mayer Homepage: http://www.lastditcheffort.org/~adam/ Notes: I like to tinker. I come from a software background; hardware is fairly new to me. I spend inordinate amounts of time on silly tasks like driving my SX-Blitz from my Palm III. Works, but it's a pretty goofy idea to start with. I'm eyeing building Something That Moves in the near future, so maybe this is a good place for me to be. Recent blog entries by phookySyndication: RSS 2.0
Reminder: robot
workshop tonight, at Eyebeam, for those of you in NYC.
Mindstorms Workshop - This workshop, intended for ages 12 and up, will teach participants of all ages how to build and program their own robots using LEGO Mindstorms (small computers with programmable behaviors) in order to address a specific challenge. Participants will work with an artist to learn the Mindstorm programming language, experiment with the design of a physical computing project, and test the results in their own mini-robot "runway show". New York-Tokyo robots tomorrow at the same venue, followed by a robot-DJ'ed party.
simonthehappy: this is creepily similar to
what I'm working on, only I'm only dragging the paper in one
direction, and using several head positioning assemblies
from hard drives to actuate the pen...
hudson: thanks. A friend of mine has a
running installation; I'll give backchaining a try. Until
then, I guess I'll stick with eagle.
hudson: how on earth did you get ExpressPCB
running under Wine? I've had no joy. What version are you
using? Are you linking against an existing windows
installation?
Finished my stupid electroluminescent handbag today. People seemed to like it. I am rapidly turning into a fashion designer for Mondo 2000. Ugh. Maxim's site has some very good tutorials, and you can now order parts directly from them online. Got myself some MAX712 chargers. Will see how they work out. phooky certified others as follows: Others have certified phooky as follows:
