Correlation Waves #ArtTuesday

Pulling inpiration from isolation and global events, Correlation Waves envelopes the viewer. It creates a unique experience that is almost like a drop down wearable.

From Action.io:

Correlation Waves is a physical interactive installation composed of a kinetic sculpture suspended from the ceiling. The sculpture reacts to the position of the audience by inflating itself and deploying an isolation chamber around the person standing right under it. Users who interact with the piece will be trapped for a brief period of time where they will experience an audiovisual narrative journey distorted by the very nature of the isolation.

3D Printing with Ten Million Colors!

In this 3D Printing Nerd video, Joel talks with a representative of Mimaki, an inkjet printing company that has developed a new form of 3D printing.

Their process combines the technology they developed for 2D printing and projects it into three dimension.

Objects are basically 3D printed and then covered with a colored outer layer. Using this method, up to ten million colors are available, allowing for ultra-realistic-looking prints.

Video Game Cabinets as Installation Art #ArtTuesday

RNG as an acronym generally stands for Random Number Generator. But in the art of Alex Mackin Dolan, the letters stand for Really New God, the title of an installation work on exhibition at the David Lewis gallery in New York City. When you walk in the gallery you see custom built video games units. Here’s more from Galleries Now:

The custom built machines in this exhibition made from wood and simple computer parts fall into the category of “Medal Games”, a subset of Amusement Machines that involve an exchange of real money for Tokens, which can be won, but not able to exchange back to money and only ever used to play more. These games are more popular in Japan but have their American equivalents like Coin Pushers. Medal games often simulate a no stakes for fun version of Machine Gambling. Gambling Machines are designed to bleed a user’s funds out over the longest possible time frame. They maximize addiction while simultaneously extracting total profit, and result in the complete extinction of a user’s funds. This is the core metaphor of addictive media which now saturate our world. Many techniques used in app user retention were perfected on the casino floor. Value used to be extracted out of your productive power, your physical labor. Now it is extracted out of your consumptive power and your attention.

Celebrating 100 single board computers that support CircuitPython Blinka #Blinka #CircuitPython #SBC @Adafruit

CircuitPython is one of the easiest way to program microcontrollers. CircuitPython is a programming language designed to simplify experimenting and learning to code on low-cost microcontroller boards.

Blinka brings CircuitPython APIs and, therefore, CircuitPython libraries to single board computers (SBCs). It is a pip installable Python library that runs in normal “desktop” Python. The CircuitPython runtime isn’t used. CircuitPython libraries can also be installed via pip.

Interested? See the guide on how to use Blinka with supported SBCs (like Raspberry Pi & more).

Soundboard #3DThursday #3DPrinting

chito shares:

Using a NeoTrellis M4 from adafuit, Ive created this portable soundboard.

I’ve always wanted to make my games immersive in a way that allows most people to get into them and enjoy them. So, I decided to create a soundboard. In the past I used websites before using an app on my phone, and now I’ve finally created a standalone self-contained soundboard which can be used for anything really.

you will need:

NeoTrellis M4 Enclosure kit (product 4020 from adafruit)
Usb speakers with volume control
Power bank smaller or equal to 144mm (L) x 70mm (W) x 15mm (H)
I have designed this mounting frame that neatly packages all the parts of this project. You do not need it to enjoy the soundboard but its saves room and mess on a table top.

you can view the full guide on what to buy, how to code it and how to assemble this mounting frame

Star In Cage Puzzle – Print in Place #3DThursday #3DPrinting

plusalphaDesigns shares:

This is a simple “puzzle” of a star confined inside a cage. Because the star and cage is “print in place”, there is actually no way of removing the star out of the cage, unless the cage is broken. This is intended to be a simple demo toy of how 3D printing can be used to have non-touching independent parts confined inside another.

Ideally, I wanted to design something that does not require a support, but it seems that the star has an over hang that is slightly too steep for some printers. It might be possible to print it without a support, but I was not able to get away without using a support.

This could be a gift for someone who doesn’t know much about 3D printing, or a fidgeting toy for children.

Mac Keyboard Grippy Feet #3DThursday #3DPrinting

schizist shares:

This must be printed with supports. I used the default Cura supports, but I think I would have had an easier time had I gone with Tree supports. When I removed the supports, I did break a couple of the mushroom tabs off by accident, but the grippies have stayed on.

I used a clamp to press them into the mold filled with silicon caulk, then left it overnight, and gave them another hour or two to stop feeling tacky.

I used 3M stickers to adhere them to the keyboard.

The slope is ~4°, the front adds ~.25″ (6.35mm) in height, and the rear adds ~.5″ (~12.7mm) in height.

The pictures were taken after 3-4 months of daily use.

Hosting a Mastodon Instance on Raspberry Pi

On the Raspberry Pi site, they’ve posted an article by Pete Stevens on hosting your own Mastodon Instance (aka a server) using RBpi. They have spun up their own Instance using RBpi 4.

Ideally, we want to run our Mastodon server on a Raspberry Pi because it’s a super-capable little computer. We also want it in the cloud at the core of the internet with reliable power, and lots and lots of network. Handily, Mythic Beasts run a Raspberry Pi cloud and offer managed services, so we can run the Raspberry Pi Mastodon service, keep it updated and (coming later) scale it up to a cluster of Raspberry Pis when the initial single server setup runs out of puff.

We’re going to use the base quad core 4GB Raspberry Pi 4 here, which is fine for a typical instance with moderate follower counts and small numbers of users. One thing to note is that a Raspberry Pi server in the cloud doesn’t get a public IPv4 address. There aren’t enough IPv4 addresses for the internet (4 billion in total) and we’ve run out. The waiting list for a block of 256 IPv4 addresses is now 9 months and 1100 companies long.

Temple of Boom #ArtTuesday

Australian based architects Adam Newman and Kelvin Tsang debuted their new installation “Temple of Boom” in Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria. The work forces audiences to rethink the permanence of architectural designs and will be gradually transformed by various artists with artworks and murals painted in three phases between November 2022 and August 2023. designboom shares the project’s details.

Within the Grollo Equiset Garden at Melbourne’s National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), ‘Temple of Boom’ officially opens to the public, transporting visitors to ancient times by celebrating an architectural icon erected 2,500 years ago on the other side of the world: the Parthenon in Athens. Considered an apex symbol of Western civilization, the historic Greek Temple was evocatively reimagined here in ways that expand its enduring beauty and our understanding of it.

Setting up a dial-in server with a Raspberry Pi #VintageComputing #Linux #RaspberryPi @Raspberry_Pi @DogeMicrosys

Dial-up internet connections may feel like a relic of the past, but modern telephony equipment makes it cheap & easy to set up your own dial-up ISP!

Forget about pricey interconnects with the phone company: with a few pieces of commodity hardware and an hour of setup, you can emulate a blazing fast 56 kbps network connection between two or more clients.

Despite variations in modem hardware, this guide should work with any dial-up modem that presents itself as a serial device to the operating system, whether it connects over USB, ISA, PCI, or RS-232.

Dial-up over VoIP can be unreliable so it is best to keep speeds low. If you don’t already have a modem I would recommend looking for a 14.4k modem for the sake of reliability.

The guide goes into detail on setup for Raspberry Pi OS.

See the guide here.

Transforming Weather Data into Intricate Sculptures #ArtTuesday

Nathalie Miebach’s intricate, beautiful sculptures are three-dimensional visualizations of scientific data. Here’s more from COLOSSAL:

For Boston-based artist Nathalie Miebach, art is a way to translate scientific data into a visual language of patterns and relationships. In 2007, when she first began to make works that explored weather and climate change, she wanted to better understand the science. “Each piece began with a specific question I had and then the sculpture would attempt to answer it. Over time, I began to be more interested not in how weather instruments record weather, but how we as a species respond to it,” she tells Colossal. “That’s when I began to look at extreme weather events such as floods, storms, and fires.”

Basketweaving plays a central role in Miebach’s practice as it both physically and metaphorically weaves together materials and information. The type of data she collects is both statistical and anecdotal, combining scientific inquiry with personal experiences. “Harvey’s Twitter SOS,” for example, translates 2017 data maps about Hurricane Harvey published by The New York Times. “The inner quilt is made up of shapes that map out income distribution in Houston and uses the city’s highway system as a visual anchor. Various types of information related to Harvey are stitched onto the quilt, including Twitter messages that were sent out during the storm,” she says. Each piece contains numerous pathways, repetitions, and connections, redolent of Rube Goldberg machines in which cause and effect play a central role.

Emulate any PC ISA card with an FPGA and Raspberry Pi #VintageComputing #FPGA #RaspberryPi @hackaday @Raspberry_Pi

One of the reasons the IBM PC platform became the dominant standard for desktop PCs back in the mid-1980s was its open hardware design, based around what would later be called the ISA bus. Any manufacturer could design plug-in cards or even entire computers that were hardware and software compatible with the IBM PC.

ISA has been obsolete for most purposes since the late 1990s. Some ISA cards such as high-quality sound cards have become so popular among retrocomputing enthusiasts that they now fetch hundreds of dollars on eBay.

In the videos below, you can see eigenco demonstrating the system on a 386 motherboard that only has a VGA card to hook up a monitor. By emulating a hard drive and sound card on the Pi, he is able to run a variety of classic DOS games with full sound effects and music. The sound cards currently supported include AdLib, 8-bit SoundBlaster, Gravis Ultrasound and Roland MT-32, but any card that’s documented well enough could be emulated.

See the first and second video below and more on Hackaday and the creator’s GitHub.

Recreating M.C. Escher’s “Relativity” out of Foam Board

In this Avid Creator video, they use mainly foam board to recreate Dutch artist M. C. Escher’s 1953 lithograph print, “Relativity.” Wooden sticks, wire, Super Sculpey, and glue.

He Wore a Raspberry Pi Beret

The Raspberry Pi Beret. It was inevitable. In fact, this one, by Sean O’Steen, is not the first, nor will it likely be the last.

“While not prepared for a full cosplay presentation like many other attendees at the convention, I certainly wanted to let my geek flag fly,” Sean tells us. “Knowing that Raspberry Pi would be one of the companies with a booth at the convention, I wanted to pay homage to the people and the products that made possible most of my home automation projects, and much of my journey into electronics self-learning. I used one of Raspberry Pi’s latest microcontrollers, Pico W, and some addressable LED lights to create the Raspberry Pi Beret; the kind you won’t find in a second-hand store.”

The beret has two modes. When ‘idle’, the beret’s LEDs light up around it with ever cycling animations at random intervals. With a phone connected to the wireless LAN on Pico W, Sean was able to control the lights from the web browser.

Syncing Time from the Network on the Raspberry Pi @Raspberry_Pi #PiDay #RaspberryPi

Here’s a handy little guide on synchronizing your Raspberry Pi with the network, from Hackaday:

…time synchronization is beneficial for your Raspberry Pi since it doesn’t have its own real-time clock to maintain the time. While you can add an RTC to the Pi, it requires you to purchase an additional component.

This section will teach you how to enable or disable network time synchronization on your Pi, set the servers it uses, and more…. By default, the Raspberry Pi is configured to use the time sync servers provided by the NTP pool. This pool of servers maintains accurate time and will automatically boot servers that don’t maintain an accurate time.

Whether you’re feeling nostalgic or just like to see the photos you’ve taken over the years this project from buzztroll on Instructables will show you how to make a Raspberry Pi photo frame from Apple Photos:

Personal pictures are precious and thus you do not want to trust a single machine to hold them all. Backups are essential. And because photo albums get very large very quickly (mine is 700GB and growing) backing them up can be difficult.

In this project I will show how to backup your Apple Photo album to a Raspberry Pi, and once it is backed up how to use that backup as the source for a photo frame.

It’s the PiCowbell ringing, letting you know that the new Adafruit PiCowbell Proto is finally in stock and ready to assist your Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W project with handy hardware and practical prototyping. The PiCowbell Proto is the same size and shape as a Pico, and is intended to socket underneath to make programming and sensor connectivity easy. Reset button? Yes! STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector for fast I2C? Indeed.

The Adafruit PiCowbell Proto for Pico guide has everything you need to get started with your PiCowbell Proto. There are four different ways to assemble it, each with its own detailed assembly page, so you can decide which method works best for you. There is an overview, pinouts and downloads resources. There are also CircuitPython and Arduino I2C Scan examples, which shows you how to make sure your microcontroller is seeing the STEMMA QT sensor you connected, which also ensures you’ve assembled it properly.

Ceiling Bike Mount #3DThursday #3DPrinting

spikealex89 shares:

This is V2 of my Ceiling Bike Hanger. I designed it to hang my light fixie to the ceiling to get it up and out of the way. Have added some extra strength to design and some clearances to make mating the part together even easier.

Shave brush holder stand #3DThursday #3DPrinting

Farsspade shares:

Found a model by daviferna that was easy to print on my tiny printer, but it looks a bit rough so I redesigned it a bit.

List of changes:
Rounded off all the sharp corners and made the middle part thicker to transition better between the top and bottom.
Pushed the hole for the brush further away from the middle part to make better room for the hairs of the brush (some of the space had been removed when I made the middle part thicker.).
made the tips of the top part longer to support the brush handle more and rounded them off.
Pushed a bit of the bottom down to make a small dish to catch any water drops (not that they would run off of the original.).

I split the middle part into two to make it printable without any support.
If the two middle parts cannot fit into the slots due to differences in tolerances between our printers, try scaling it in your slicer to make a thinner one that you can print out.
