monome 40h kit

today, i assembled my monome 40h kit! it's essentially the same as a 64, but comes in kit form - 2 PCBs and all the pieces that need to go on it - ATmega chip, shift registers, FTDI serial to USB, button pads, etc. The only thing it doesn't come with is LEDs. These you must find on your own. I ordered these from LEDShoppe, and so far i'm not extremely impressed with their consistency (brightness) from bulb to bulb. However, the color is beautiful (violet).....

LOTS OF PICTURES AND WORDS TOO

LightBox • modular controller

I should've posted this up here about a month ago, but by the time I finished the project, i was far too burnt out to blahg about it. Anyway, here now, is LightBox, my final project for Major Studio: Interface class. mothercube, finished concept: physically and functionality modular, multi-input controllers with visual feedback and dynamic sensor data output. Manipulating video, sound, or anything digital is possible with LightBox, and when using more than one simultaneously, group interaction and collaboration is possible, as the controllers themselves are wirelessly networked. project post-mortem paper here. final design: final schematic Here is a not-so-revealing video of one mothercube and one daughtercube (all i had the time and money to build), being run through a theremin-emulator max patch. I have written a sampler patch and video controller in jitter, I will document these soon enough (making sure you can see my hands) and then post the patches.
