Robot Santa Discovers Meaning of Christmas at SantaCon #WearableWednesday

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 02:00 AM PST

Here's a treat from my friend Nick Brewer. He headed out one year with his own handmade Robot Santa suit on, intent to infiltrate the SantaCon crew to learn what the heck was going on there to make a documentary about this fascinating event, but instead found himself caught up in the endless flow of rambunctious, intoxicated Santas — where he himself became something of a fixture. "Did you get your photo with Robot Santa yet?" "Let's go push his buttons!"

Nick has been working on this video project for, well, years — and he told me proudly that he used a lot of Adafruit gear in his Santabot 2.0 suit that wraps up the project:

Bonus fact, almost all the electronics (3 arduinos, LEDS, etc) were from Adafruit!

His fun project received some great attention around the wrap-up of his Kickstarter project in 2010 — in particular this lovely article over at WIRED. Here's an excerpt about the construction of SantaBot:

Construction of Brewer's Santabot outfit took about a month, not including the crash course in using an Arduino board for the electronics. Arcade-style buttons on his chest controlled various features, including lights, voice-changer ("Destroy! Destroy!"), sound system, LOL shield (scrolling, "What is love?" along with holiday messages) and the well-loved but short-lived candy dish that emerged from his 8-bit belly.

People got a little rough on the cardboard at times, but overall Santabot was mobbed with admirers, so much so that Brewer didn't even make it to the main SantaCon convergence area at Central Park's Bethesda Fountain.

"We got so bogged down with people and pictures it got to the point we couldn't make it across the street," Brewer said.

Unfortunately, the design of his suit was such that he couldn't raise a beer to his mouth. "But," Hawkins said, "he never refused a picture the whole day."

io invece ti segnalo il fatto che gli IDE più recenti hanno un "autoimportatore" di librerie, tu gli dai il path o l'url di un file zip e lui ti copia e scompatta il tutto nella cartella Libraries. Non l'ho provato, l'ho letto di sfuggita su un issue d...

Re: make pwm output non linear

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 01:23 AM PST

The problem with the log converters is that you loose the PWM signal. This means there is a dead region where you are not outputting enough voltage to turn the LED on. So you end up with the same sort of precision as if you had used software, perhaps e...

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 01:06 AM PST

That's a nice chip, I was aware of it's cousin the 74LVC16245 but this is more flexible.

One "problem" is that it's a wide package it won't fit where Crossroads has the TXB chips but that's easily fixed.

Interactive LED Lab Coat #WearableWednesday

Instructables user ProtoTank writes:

This is an instructable for the Interactive LED Lab Coats, showcased at Autodesk University.

This instructable assumes a middling knowledge of a few different fields. If you can use a sewing machine, follow a circuit diagram, and load a program onto an Arduino, you can do it on your own. If not, it's all stuff you can learn with the help of the right friend. Some of the steps are time consuming, but all the skills you need can be learned quickly.

It is important that "void" is not capitalised, and it is important there is no semicolon after "loop()".

Fashion & Technology Exhibit at MFIT in NYC #WearableWednesday

Posted: 12 Dec 2012 12:00 AM PST

fashionandtechatfit

"Fashion and Technology" runs through May 8 2013 at the Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology.

Fashion and Technology explores the impact of emerging technologies on the nature of fashion design and production over the past 250 years. The exhibition focuses on innovations that have influenced the production, materials, aesthetic, and function of fashion. It begins with objects created during the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, when innovations in textile manufacturing revolutionized the fashion industry. These innovations included the introduction of the Spinning Jenny, the Jacquard loom, and the sewing machine. The exhibition then continues chronologically to the present day.
