AF6MQ CWIR reloaded video

i stopped bringing any Fire to BinkyMan in 2007.  i’m very pleased to have a chance to fire up an old project this weekend, “AF6MQ CWIR”.  here’s the controls and solenoid on the bench all rewired and ready to be boxed.  type a letter, and the flame will go “poof” in morse code.  here’s a link to the original version for the crucibles legendary Fire Arts Festival (RIP).

DC3 Touch Test

quick little video of the DC3 new touch sensors in action.  just a simple sensor-faceedges mapping for now to get the sensitivity dialed in.  works about 1″ out from the face of the glass, and seems to be stable with power fluctuations thanks to extra regulator.

the cork for the glass is molded and rotted, hey, she’s 13 years old or so…

here’s the new brain on the bench.  11 channel touch sensor, at90usb1287, and level shifter set to drive 4 led strip channels (clocked simultaneously), looking like 8 led on an edge, so that’s 80 strip led’s going in to replace the 6 handmade ones.

gotta put a shout out to saleae for their logic8 bit analyzer, pulling SPI data live off the bus is a big win talking to “smart” slaves…..

and here’s the long look with strip on the bench and bc7#10 getting his firmware firmed up.

need bigger brain

re-purposed capsule board for the brain, and we have, unicorn farts!  the 256bytes of ram is limiting me from doing a proper dual-frame display array for smooth x-fades, so, morning we bust out an at90usb1287 for the job.  BIGGER BRAINZ !!!

#10 will be for show/sale this sunday at 5-Months-Gallery show.

this Sunday, Dec 6, 2015, 12:00pm – 6:00pm.

bc7#10 lives.

there is a Zen saying about how the empty space inside a vessel truly defines the vessel.  This is the tenth time i have done this procedure,  and still i find ways to improve the process.  ladies’n’germs, bc7 #10 complete with all fingers and toes and ears and stuff.
