Wow

Okay honestly I forgot about this thing. New mission is to update this at least twice a month. Starting with the oops I haven't been on this is quite some time. I've been busy at work making flash programs and a little iOS work. I need to order a stepper motor to experiment with my next project. I am also going to brush up on my OpenGL. I have be having the urge to do some creative data visualization.

Servos came on the weekend. Been trying to teach myself Objective-C for the iOS since everyone is asking me if I program for the iPhone and/or iPad. Guess it's time to learn. I am aiming to have the servo sign through the alphabet with toothpicks since I have not made flags yet. Next step will be making the flags.

Edit, these are not the servos I thought they were. They are contiguous and not wide arc so this might be delayed or very complicated. They are not very accurate so what might be a quarter turn on way does not equal the next quarter turn.

Sparkfun

Next project set and waiting for the parts. I need 360 degree servo motors so I ordered a set from Sparkfun and well as a XBee breakout board to make my life easier when I get back to play with radios. The servos should arrive soon. I am hoping to have a video of the test within a week. I'll publish the code at well.

Cross fading web banner

I just finished creating a web banner consisting of 5 spaces for photographs. Each space randomly cross fades to a different picture every four seconds. It is currently only in JavaScript using the script.aculo.us library. I will want to add some AJAX aspects to it using PHP to read a directory of pictures. I'll post the example and the code later today.

And there went the summer...

I have not gotten far on any project this summer. I've been reading books and various computer languages and HCI. I hope this fall to finish the projects I have started. Updated my website with a new look.

Upcoming Projects

The website is up and running. I'll have some more content soon. There are three projects I have in the works one involves model rockets, I will attempt to code my own game, and I will be possibly be switching the FACE project over to OpenFrameWorks.
