Fractals

Andrew — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 02:13:51 +0000

Recently I’ve been playing with fractals. I’ve never had much interest in them up until a few days ago, when I’ve seen someone’s fractal project. As such I’ve started putting together a small application to make and view said fractals. I’m not yet sure what I’ll do with it, seeing as how it renders rather slowly, [...]

Invaders

Looks like I finally got a song for my last synch. I’m considering turning this one into a rhythm game just for laughs. This idea is still in early development so it might take a while, or it might take very little depends on my mood, motivation and time. It could be better and it could be [...]

More visuals

Andrew — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:27:15 +0000

To tell the truth I wanted to post a set of the last 3, but the person who writes the songs has gotten writer’s block( or musician’s block) Normally he sends me some songs and then I do the code and pick the one which fits the animation best. This time I made the code after [...]

Twit-update

Andrew — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 02:17:12 +0000

I found myself updating some posts somewhat frequently. This isn’t necessarily a good thing to do as the RSS feed doesn’t show updates. A more blog-type thing to do would be to constantly make new posts and link back and forth trough them in a weak attempt at SEO. This isn’t really my thing because [...]

Dropbox plugin for wordpress

Andrew — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 17:52:19 +0000

Temporarily down due to recent changes in the dropbox site. There seems to be a demand for a wordpress plugin which can handle dropbox and there is code available to make it, but for some reason people haven’t made one yet. Taking the available code and next to no wordpress plugin knowledge I’ve modified the code and [...]

Audio-video sync

Andrew — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:10:17 +0000

I have opened up processing and made a simple video sync to some audio I’ve been given. It’s fairly simple nothing too fancy, but doing it gave me the building blocks to make something even faster stronger harder and better. While ‘analog’ music gives better more smooth results, digital matches this little experiment’s theme more. The result [...]

Deathbot 5000(beta) preview

Andrew — Sat, 30 May 2009 20:44:45 +0000

Got so far last night, when I realized I have no soldering tools. What that means is no way of getting the senors on, not without some creativity anyway. Currently turns left and moves forward a bit( just random test), but I’ll get to coding the Arduino after the senors are up and running. More pictures to [...]

L298 Hbridge meets Arduino mega

Andrew — Fri, 29 May 2009 16:45:39 +0000

I’ve recently purchased a L298 Hbridge to help me help arduino help a remote controlled car think by itself and move. Does it work? Why not test it I said to myself. Play around with low voltages, see if I can get it to switch polarities. After some trying and testing, or just trial and error, as [...]

Arduino mega

Andrew — Thu, 21 May 2009 23:32:00 +0000

The Arduino Mega. Cheap, capable and best of all easy to use. Hopefully at the center of many projects to come. While asking around for microcontrollers I’ve been told to use this and that(for the sake of fairness I won’t name names). This was a nightmare to use and that was just plain ridiculously expensive. [...]

Spring mechanism

Andrew — Thu, 21 May 2009 23:21:49 +0000

A fairly simple idea I had sometime ago. I wanted to simulate mechanisms, robots and odd contraptions. I made this little applet, and challenged most people I know to build a contraption which leaves the screen area. Any results were hard to replicate, but I challange anybody willing to give it a try. How to use it: P [...]
