This is my first original robot design. I have built robots before, but I’ve never designed one entirely myself. The purpose of this robot is to be an affordable, expandable, customizable, and educational robotics platform. The design utilizes common hardware and easy to print parts to balance itself on 2 wheels. The rest of the […]
I quickly outgrew my XYZ mini 3D printer as I began to understand the limitations of PLA plastic. The solution? 3D print a more capable printer! Well it isn’t all 3D printed of course. But it is much larger and more capable than the first machine! Fortunately for me I have received a sponsorship from https://www.gearbest.com/ and […]
I made this, because it is my belief that all pet cats should have a pet robot. In all seriousness, I made this as an occasional treat for the cats, or more for me when I need to distract them for 15 minutes. Most of the hard work went into the programming. I tried to […]
I got a 3D printer! I know I’m kind of late to the party but I was very excited and I actually do use the printer all the time now. I am already looking to upgrade! In any case I had to relearn mechanical drawing and 3d modeling because it had been awhile but MAN […]
appIOsc I recently collaborated with Shawn Lawson and Ryan Ross Smith on an open source device to convert analog signal voltages to wifi signals and vice versa. Sounds exciting right? It is actually more exciting than it sounds. Ryan and Shawn participate in Live Coding for both music and visual performance. And this latest Arduino project that I […]
This is a device that I put a lot of effort into, and it is still a work in progress. I spent months assembling hardware, and almost a year writing the program. After launching an instructable on how to assemble it, as well as publishing a github repository to share the code and invite collaboration, […]
The Writing is on the Walls is an exploration of simulation using an FPV RC vehicle. Participants were allowed to explore a miniature environment remotely featuring a variety of media related to the theme. The theme is simulation, but specifically the underlying theme deals with the imminent loss of unmediated reality. There are many relevant […]
Built an 8 channel controller for holiday lighting that I then installed in the ’86 field at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for the weR lighting ceremony. Was a fun project and I hope to develop the code further as well as construct a 16 channel version. Here is a video showing inside the box before everything […]
Those of you who know me well, know that my first artistic endeavor was music. I have been a musician since 1989, and a hip hop artist since 1995. I became more serious about it when I found friends who had the same interests, and we began making music together sometime in 1999. I have […]
AuraFlora (AFB1) an interactive or “robotic” flower. AuraFlora Beta 1 is a scaled down version of AuraFlora for development purposes. The micro controller is an Arduino Uno R3. The purpose of this device is to be a first prototype for AuraFlora, and provide a platform on which to develop code. AF B1 has […]
