So this is a bit more refined version of the P(h)ixel. For one, the structure is now laser-cut plexi and way less embarrasing than before. Second, it allowed for the test with the latex, which, is already giving me nightmares. I’m calling this thing my-own-private-videodrome.

This is the first crapotype of the p(h)ixel: a physical pixel that reacts to changes in the environment. The pixel is part of a larger matrix that can create a low-res mapping of the environment by pushing or pulling on a flexible membrane. The first test clip is after the jump below.
Oh and for the record, I used my teeth to cut the cardboard…

A servo controlled by a photo-resistor. I know, not that interesting, but I’m working on that…
A photoresistor controlling the size, color, alpha and placement of the circles in processing.
Code and clip after the jump below.

Currently reading the data from two photocell resistors and controlling the blink rate of two led’s with it. Right now they work one after the other, I’m still trying to figure out if it’s possible to make them work so that each resistor controls each led independently yet simultaneously. Brandt any ideas?

Until I find a better method for posting to multiple blogs, you can view my first and subsequent posts on my Living Architecture blog:
I’m apprehensive as to what to post here, but super excited to be getting my hands dirty with the arduino. I’ve just researched so many fascinating projects, everything is so new and amazing to me. I’m planning on developing my arduino research through some iPhone programming, and I’ll try to share up a bit of both as I go along.
