HeK 2012 - Sensing Place

FACTS

Exhibition "Sensing Place"@ HeK, Basel / Date : 31. August 2012 - 11. November 2012

Sensing Place. Zur medialen Durchdringung des urbanen Raums

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

Concept - Workshop A

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.

DIY Device - Workshop A

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)

Requirement from Paticipant

Nope, perhaps an OpenMind, but welcome to bring a laptop if one like to dig in their own ATtiny code

Installation

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
