Here’s another neat video from Brian Stuckey of ineedcaffeine.com.

If anyone knows where to find more of these displays, I would love to get my hands on some!

Kit Building Party Photos & Video

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

This weekend I hosted a post-Halloween kit building party at MightyOhm HQ.

Nine close friends built Conway’s Game of Life kits from Adafruit Industries.  This is my favorite kit for these kinds of workshops because it’s easy for beginners to complete in about 2 hours, and when everyone is done, you can wire all of the kits together to create one large cellular automata display.  The last time I helped people build this kit was at a Make:SF workshop at the TechShop in Menlo Park.

Here’s a timelapse video of the afternoon, shot with a Logitech QuickCam Vision Pro webcam on an Eee PC 4G running Booru Webcam 2.0.

The capture interval was 5 seconds.  I used Quicktime Pro to stitch the images together at 15fps and iMovie to add titles and music (Turbo Outrun by FRP from remix.kwed.org.)

I wore my Halloween costume for most of the afternoon.  What am I?  Most people on the streets of San Francisco had no idea…

And lastly, a video of the 3×3 matrix in action:

Three people had little to no soldering experience at the beginning of the afternoon.  Everyone who came went home with a working kit.  Success!

Video of my NOTACON talk now online

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

This week I finally got a working copy of the video of my talk from NOTACON 6 about hacking the Asus WL-520gU wireless router.  You can either watch the embedded video above or follow the link below to Vimeo.  If you don’t like either option, you can also download the m4v source file from here (thanks Vimeo!).

Special thanks to Media Archives for recording my talk!

DIY 8-bit Computer: Big Mess o’ Wires

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Steve Chamberlin created an 8-bit computer from discrete logic and called his project the Big Mess o’ Wires.

The BMOW runs at 2MHz and has 512K RAM and 16K ROM.  It is constructed with primarily 7400 series logic and over 1048 wirewrap connections.

The feature list is very impressive:

Here’s a video of a music test from his site:

I am completely blown away by this project.  Has someone invited Steve to the Maker Faire??  I want to see this thing in person!

Check out his site and prepare to spend at least an hour looking at all of his plans and construction photos.

Totally amazing.
