| | '''Cancelled.''' |
| | |
| '''Software/Hardware Hacking at Noisebridge, where we dig deep into the Sifteo cubes http://sifteo.com''' | |
| | |
| ...if you feel courageous, it might lead to a hackathon with Sifteo prizes soon.
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''!!! WARNING !!!'''
| |
| '''See details at the end of the page.'''
| |
| | |
| | |
| Sifteo cubes are the best hackable platform, here is a summary of what they have:
| |
| * an accelerometer
| |
| * a touch screen (128x128)
| |
| * 4 proximity sensors (to recognize other cubes touching their 4 sides)
| |
| | |
| | |
| They are wirelessly connected to a base with:
| |
| * an STM32 (cortex M3)
| |
| * a mono speaker
| |
| * a usb connection to log anything to a computer
| |
| | |
| The base can communicate with up to 12 cubes (maybe 24 if you ask nicely).
| |
| | |
| It can be programmed with a simple C++ SDK (a bit like arduino but much more powerful).
| |
| | |
| | |
| Examples of a few projects that could be done:
| |
| * ''magic light juggle'': acceleration change the color/brightness and the cubes disappear in the air
| |
| * ''siftephone in'': listen to a smartphone vibrations with Sifteo's accelerometer
| |
| * ''siftephone out'': talk to a smartphone using sound with audio system such as [http://chirp.io chirp.io] (a 1st proof of concept can be found [http://github.com/honnet/siftone here])
| |
| * ''music & light'': implement a BPM counter to blink color screens on the music rythme by listening to the vibrations sensed by accelerometer
| |
| * ''midi controller'': play music using the cubes as midi instruments with [http://ableton.com Ableton] or [http://renoise.com Renoise] (a 1st proof of concept can be found [http://github.com/honnet/noon here])
| |
| * ''internet of things'': control anything remotely using python to forward Sifteo logs to an email or a server such as [http://heroku.com heroku] or [http://parse.com parse.com]
| |
| * simple hacks involving microcontrollers such as Arduino can be tried too but the project must be worth it ;p (it's a bit more complicated)
| |

| | |
| '''!!! WARNING !!!'''
| |
| | |
| '''If interested, please don't just show up, your participation/preparation is important:'''
| |
| * ask [[User:Cedric|Cédric]] at least 24h in advance to bring more cubes
| |
| * download the SDK: https://developers.sifteo.com/download
| |
| * start to play with the examples in the free simulator: https://developers.sifteo.com/docs/SifteoSDK/1.0.0
