Desde charlas sobre arte interactivo con Arduino como interface, pasando por talleres sobre impresión 3D hasta demostración de integración de Arduino con Asterisk será solo una parte de lo que vamos a poder disfrutar, ya que estarán habilitados diferentes Stands como el de Parrot, en que podremos probar el nuevo Ar-Drone 2.0, el de Cooking Hacks que nos amenizarán con micro talleres Arduino e incluso el de nuestros amigos de Ultra-Lab que seguro hará las delicias de los asistentes. Por si esto fuera poco.. Contaremos con la presencia y colaboración de David Cuartielles, el cual nos ofrecerá una charla sobre los últimos productos Arduino que se está aconteciendo… Accede ahora a toda la información en la nueva web de Arduteka AQUÍ e inscríbete!!

Posted by Pablo Murillo in Arduino, Community, Education, Events, Exhibition, Hackathon, Hardware, Open Source | Wednesday, June 13th, 2012 Tasty Tweets is a data visualization experiment that allows users to explore twitter trends through taste with a press of a button.

The installation has been developed by Kostantinos Frantzis, Ruben van der Vleuten and Kat Zorina during the Data Visualization course 2012 at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, Using the Twitter APIs, the project collects tweets containing mentions of fruits such as blueberry, pineapple, apple and carrot and creates a smoothie.  The layering of the juices results in a visual representation of the proportions of flavors mentioned – a graph in a glass.buy drone md4 1000 Since twitter trends are changing very quickly, each smoothie has a unique palette of flavors.ar drone 2 yedek parça The Twitter APIs is used to gather the tweets while Processing is used to analyze and process the data and Arduino controls the flow of liquids into the glass with solenoids.parrot ar drone endurance

Posted by Andrea Reali in food | Variations II Of Variations II Tuesday, June 12th, 2012 Variations II of Variations II is a kinetic sculpture inspired by John Cage’s Variations series. Cage’s Variations II is a graphical composition that generates musical events using measurements of distance between dots and lines on a piece of paper. The instructions for the piece determine the behavior of rotating panels and images synchronized to be projected onto the sculpture. Motors drive the rotation of the panels, and are used as a sound source for the audio portion of this piece. The artist Jay Kim has used C/C++,  Arduino,  MaxMSP/Jitter and some stepper motor to create his sculpture. Posted by Andrea Reali in Ar(t)duino | WISP: a WiFi module for the Internet-of-Things embdSocial™ is an Internet-of-Things (IoT) platform usable to provide communication support to smart objects and devices. embdSocial™ is based on WISP™, an electronic module that can be connected to any microcontroller-equipped device (such as an Arduino board, by means of ad-hoc shield) to exploit several communication services:

Each WISP™ allows real-time bi-directional communication through our secure, globally accessible API. In addition to merely providing internet connectivity, embdSocial™ provides one interface and architecture that simplifies common tasks through the use of plug-ins: Sending/receiving SMS text messages Manipulating files in your Dropbox Each WISP™ is equipped with a 802.11 network interface (with support to WEP, WPA and WPA2 protocols) which allows the device to be easily connected with the embdSocial™’s servers; moreover, its configuration is completely web-based. More information can be found on the embdSocial™ homepage, together with a couple of videos presenting its capabilities.

This plant has a twitter account, you can water it by direct tweets. Since a single tweet can’t save her, she needs twitter friends to grow up! A Processing application listens to new tweets via Twitter APIs.  A servo motor is bringing water to the plant while sensor checks its the humidity rate (if it’s too low the plant tweets in order to alert her followers). If you follow the plant’s account,  she can send you private messages. Go here to visit the plant. And do not forget to water it! Posted by Andrea Reali in Enviroment | Toccata for ultra-conservative book organ Monday, June 11th, 2012 In an article on the New York Times Nick Bilton report us an impressive sentence pronounced by Paola Antonelli, senior curator in the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art.  She said: “The two most important introductions for art  in the past 20 years have been the Arduino and Processing”. Not all art projects we come across have precisely the characteristics of avant-garde art, but many are able to attract our attention and at least snatch us a smile.

That’s the case of  “Crush Limbaugh”. The ultra-conservative book organ includes the autobiography of Sarah Palin, a thriller by Glenn Beck, the memoirs of Dan Quayle and a book-length rant by Rush Limbaugh, each repurposed into electronic triggers hooked up to a central Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino is programmed with a music-generating algorithm, and each hit of a book triggers a single note, or some other type of instruction within the program. Toccata for ultra-conservative book organ (“Crush Limbaugh”) is the name of both the program which generates the music and the interactive, semi-improvisational performance on this instrument. The performers are Sangbong Nam, Charles Peck, and Benjamin Martinson. Tutorial: accurate ADC readings Friday, June 8th, 2012 Hardware Hacking guys propose this quick tutorial on how to improve the accuracy of Arduino’s ADC readings, by measuring the actual voltage rail used to supply the onboard microcontroller. 

At a glance, this can be done by measuring the internal 1.1V reference voltage (it is available for ATMega 168 and ATMega 328 only) and, then, by normalizing the ADC readings. More details can be found here. Posted by Alessandro Paganelli in Arduino, tutorials | Some advances in aerial vehicles: bat-inspired smart wings Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 Researchers from Centro de Automática y Robótica (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) and from Brown University carried out a very deep research about the specific behavior of bat flight, whose ultimate goal is to replicate the capabilities of bat’s wings by means of an ad-hoc designed micro aerial vehicle (MAV). From the home page of the project: [...] this research is oriented towards the development of a biological inspired bat robot platform, that allows to reproduce the amazing maneuverability of these flying mammals. The highly maneuverability is achieved by reproducing the flapping and morphing capabilities of their wing-skeleton structure.

This structure is composed by several joints and a membrane that generates the required lift forces to fly. To mimmic the muscular system that moves the joints of the wing-bones, Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) NiTi wires are used as artificial-muscles. Several challenges in controlling this SMA-based actuation system are regarded in this research. Posted by Alessandro Paganelli in accelerometer, Actuators, Education, Gyroscope, Mechanics, Projects, research, Robots, science, servo | Arduino based Quadrotor on a PCB There are many Quadrotor Projects out there. But, they require a hobbyist to deal with the Frame Designing (Mechanical), a bit of Microcontroller knowledge as well as dealing with the Motor Control (Power Electronics). You may purchase a commercial Radio and a readymade Kit for flying. But, to Do-It-Yourself, is an achievement in itself. Here is a picture of a Quadrotor designed by Shane Colton using Arduino Pro mini as its flying brain. Shane is a Ph.D Student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
