More pics from the instrument

It basically lights up leds and plays a random series of frequencie sif the potentiometer reading is zero. When the freq is divisable by 54 with no remainder it plays SOS, if you twist the potentiometer it leaves the programmed tune and plays your frequency and turn the red LED to solid and the green flickers with the pattern.

Now to build a circuit board for it.

Night with loritab and electronics

I spe tthe night working on my eletcornics projects. I finally got my intrument to play a little song with the led lighting up along the way. I need more resistors and some other stuff tomorrow. I am also going to learn java so I can work a pik chip and program my cell-phone. It was actually pretty fun once I got to interface with the computer.

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

If you play this while watching the animate dgif you get a petty good idea of how the whole night felt.

Art, Links, and poetry

I was searching through the links to the site again and I found one from ice9 poetry

The

is in the link section. Seems like maybe it's someone from the site or someone I know but I can't place it. Then I was looking at their open mic night which is at Arte Brutale on Main St and I also haven't heard of that. So I searched it on google and came up with this person and her music

which is quite good.

Does anyone know more info about this space or these people?

Radio Shack

This is what $38.00 looks like when you convert it into resistors, capacitors, phototransisters, LEDs, speakers, wire, and perfboard.

My new shoes

I decided it was necessary to leave class early as I am so sick. I am going to stop at radioshack to buy my potentiometer and a capacitor.

I overheard people in class talking about this supercool guy, turns out it was jesse. They were amazed at how he etched his web address on his circuit board. The whole circuit thing is crazy, sems like a lot of toxic waste. Today the teacher said not to inhale the puffs of lead smoke coming out of our work, but we wern't really taking any safety precautions.

Having a cold

I am so sick but I have to go to school today which sucks even more. Everyone around me is bound to get sick but I really can't miss class as we have a test on thursday. Ironically, my first quiz in grad school after 3 years.

Then tonight I have to go teach at 6. 3 hours of talking with a sore throat seems like a bad idea.

New addition

I was working on today's new addition to the site, which I will be realeasing shortly when I got this error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')', expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM

I have a feeling that the error was not intended for an english speaker. after looking it up on google with the word hebrew (GOOGLE - T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM hebrew) I found the answer.

Sickness

I am sick. I have a sore throat. It is what I get for being one of those stupid people that pretend that 40 degrees in Buffalo means it is warm out. I went out with (e:lilho) and decided to eat a banana split in the park with no jacket on.

Luckily, she came by this morning and made breakfast. Nick you are very lucky.
