Workhsop

A) Proposed Date : 6./7. Oct or 10./11. Nov, 2012 Proposed Title :

- Morse Revisited

- Transceive!

- Plateaux Mobiles

B) 28. Oktober 2012: Familientag: Workshop: DIY Makeaway (Watch, Solar Bird or SGMKtiny)

Environment

HeK on GoogleMaps

Workshop A - Concept

Extracting common environment date via self-build device which encode environment data such as temperature, vibration, brightness, frequency of on/off event to morse-code of participant defined message, participant can read, listen and send our environment as morse code instantly thru walkie-talkie frequence to the installation.

Rather than mere a passive listener, the device also react to certain morse code message that could be defined by the participant with simple programming with ATtiny chip.

To-Dev

• audio signal transmission
• communication protocol allows all devices establised bi-direction communication to exchange data.

Requirement from paticipant

• Nope, perhaps an OpenMind,
• but welcome to bring a laptop if one likes to dig in their own ATtiny code & web interaction

Workshop A - DIY Device

Sender : (rough estimation : sFr. 24)

• microcontroller (ATtiny) sFr.2
• walki talki sFr. 12
• various sensor (temperature, piezo, light resistor, contact pad) sFr. 5
• PCB board/wire sFr. 5

Receiver : (rough estimation : sFr. 34)

• microcontroller (ATtiny) sFr.2
• small LCD Display sFr.15
• walki talki sFr.12
• PCB board/wire sFr. 5
• ear plug (joke!)

Total Material cost for each participant : sFr. 60 The device could possible combine both sender and receiver to reduce the cost (Need Experiment depends on ATtiny's ability)

Software/Protocol

• pd
• ATtiny programming
• Arduino (optional)

Installation

-- JUST IDEA --

An A1 size poster with embedded LED Array, able to listen to morse code from sender and display the message character by character.

Component :

• A1 printed poster
• Lots LED
• Arduino + walkie talkie + mic circuit
• wifi sender to web (optional) that same physical poster also display as virtual poster on web page
• poster has two modes (workshop documentation & live)
