In the actual workshop, I got a handle on the DMX tube lighting and understanding matrix control of grid LEDs. Accomplish for a non maths person like me.
At the end of the workshop, I was playing with a tube light and sensors. http://www.thomann.de/gb/eurolite_led_dmx_pixel_tube_16_rgb_ip20.htm I took photos of the workshop, but can't find them off hand. For the qmedia open studios last spring. Nanda and I made light boxes using 6 tube lights and using an IR sensor so the colors changed based on the distance you are from the boxes. only pix I could find off hand. http://www.flickr.com/photos/58917033@N07/5692934012/in/set-72157626534136741/ Nanda & I have designs on making a light boxes into clock since in the basement there is no sense of time. trying to decide what type of "time" we want to represent. So far, I have only taken two workshops at Space & enjoyed both. The most recent was a kinect superhero one. I had not used kinect before and it got me up and going and was fun. Check out the video of Nic and Jesson. I love Nic's superhero she made a Lara Croft with Rainbow Shooting Crotch action power! http://openlabworkshops.org/kinect-and-processing-super-heroes-built/#more-287 Cheers, Pollie On Sun, Nov 13, 2011 at 1:37 PM, ruth catlow <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks for this Pollie, > > What did you make last year when you attended?
