Using the SudoGlove as a Performance Piece

I’ve already shown how the SudoGlove Control System can be used to synthesize simple music.  However, I used my enrollment in a digital music class this past semester as an opportunity to further expand the capabilities of the SudoGlove as a performance medium.  In the video below, you can see[…]

MSP430 Wireless Weather Station

Contrary to popular belief, Arduino is not the only microcontroller I use for projects.  I often program Atmega 8-bit CPUs in C for my research, I’ve played with PICs at various jobs, and I’ve also worked with Parallax Basic Stamp and Propeller chips.  This semester, I added the TI MSP430[…]

My TV Debut: SudoGlove on the Discovery Channel!

This project was featured on the Amp Hour Podcast on 4/18/2011 <Video Removed because The Discovery Channel made a Copyright Claim> :( If you thought I could only use the SudoGlove to drive RC cars and make music (depending on your definition of music), then you’re wrong!  It appears that[…]

SudoSynth – Making “Music” with the SudoGlove

This project was featured on Hackaday.com on 3/26/2011 This project was featured on Synthtopia.com on 3/28/2011 I had to put “music” in quotation marks, since I’m using a pretty loose definition.  I do not consider myself to be a musical person, but I do love music and I’ve always been extremely interested[…]

Processing-Based SudoGlove Visual Debugger

SudoGlove Visual Debugging Software As I mentioned in a previous post, I recently presented the SudoGlove Control System at Cornell’s BOOM Competition.  I was concerned (rightly so) that I wouldn’t be able to drive the RC car around much due to the large amount of foot traffic for the event.[…]

SudoGlove goes BOOM!

Our Exhibit at BOOM 2011 BOOM = Bits on our Minds.  It’s an annual event hosted at Cornell University by the faculty of Computing and Information Science.  It’s a really awesome event, and every year I look forward to attending and checking out the dozens of amazing projects that students[…]

Driving 5 Speakers Simultaneously with an Arduino

This post was featured on the Hack-a-Day Blog on 9/14/10 Mimi Yin has a neat implementation of this code for an interactive sculpture. I’m working on a project where I want to drive 5 speakers independently – each with a variable volume and set frequency (though the frequency of each[…]

SudoGlove – Hardware Control Using Hand Gestures

Update 5/19/10 – I have uploaded the final report, code, schematics, laser-cutting files, and sound effects!  Read on to download them. Introducing the SudoGlove Control System!  This is my final project for INFO4320 at Cornell Engineering.  It was developed by me and three other students: Joe Ballerini, Tiffany Ng, and[…]

3D-Printed Glowing Puzzle

Ahh yes, the joys of college – awesome people, parties, concerts, quadrangles (they are important!), problem sets, final exams, and of course, awesome prototyping equipment.  Take for example the objet 3D-Printer.  We use one in Cornell’s Computational Synthesis Lab (CCSL), where I am employed as an undergraduate researcher.  But the[…]
