MFADT Major Studio Computation Spring 2010

this is something i came upon while working on my project, this orchestra uses pure data, msi wind netbooks, linux, and wiimotes. Their website has more info. you can download the custom linux distro, and pure data objects there. there is a link to their site in the article but here it is again: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/

here is something interesting to help flesh out ideas when coding, its a visual add on for processing that lets you use diagrams to help you figure out coding, kind of like a sketchpad.

here are some things that have been on my hdd for a while. the hacking manual: this is the early version of a book my nic collins, he teaches in the sound program at the art institute of chicago. lots of hacking tools techniques and projects here. def will help with electronics learning. op amp applications: another book on op amps and how to use them. enjoy.

i found all the forrest mims books so here they are very cool to look at and tons of ideas in these. here is the link again: http://a.parsons.edu/~davib611/forrest%20mims.zip enjoy

this is a cool project a group found famiclones( basically nintendo on a chip), and decided to use them for education they could be found for about 10 bux. probably more here, i know makezine sells them in the shop. the funny thing is these machines have a dos/windows type os on them already, pretty amazing for a 6502 ( i've also seen twitter running on a apple 2 or internet on a c64). check this out if you are interested in games or educational games, i see they are also looking for interns.

So after a lot of research, this Aircard seems to be the best bet in terms of units that can be tested with Frontline SMS in the US and work in Africa. There are phones that work in the US (which are listed on the Downloads / Requirements page on Frontline), but most of the phones that are on the approved list and are shown to actually work are mostly used in Europe, Asia, and Africa. There are a number of threads, but here are two describing issues and then the end solution: http://frontlinesms.ning.com/forum/topics/where-to-buy-gsm-modem-that?id=2052630:Topic:17627&page=2#comments http://frontlinesms.ning.com/forum/topics/washington-dc-based?commentId=2052630:Comment:24367 I'm going to put in an order so we have it for testing next week.

Here's the solution one: http://frontlinesms.ning.com/forum/topics/washington-dc-based

I created a google doc that includes my notes and Nour's meeting wrap-up. Everyone can view and edit this document, so add comments or additional points if you see anything missing. Figured this would be helpful in decisions for next steps. Awesome presentations tonight! 

woo! wireless transmission, battery operated temperature sensor that displays and logs data? and puts itself to sleep between every reading!? why yes, I think so. You're welcome

To follow the path: look to the master, follow the master, walk with the master, see through the master, become the master.
