Description

More Pixels!

An advanced physical computing class - continuation of the Class "All Hail The Pixels" from previous winter term. While last semester was mostly about Prototyping on a Breadboard and creation of pixel based content in Processing, this semester focuses on production of electronics and mechanical prototypes and theoretical considerations for scalable installations "in reality". Among other topics advanced uses of microcontrollers are a main focus. The Class will be held in English.

German description

More Pixels!

Physical-Computing Kurs für Fortgeschrittene. "More Pixels!" ist die Fortsetzung des Kurses "All Hail The Pixels" aus dem vergangenen Wintersemester. Im letzten Semester stand das Entwerfen von Inhalten für pixelbasierte Systeme mit Processing und das Experimentieren auf dem Breadboard im Vordergrund. In diesem Semester geht es um die Produktion von mechanischen und elektronischen Prototypen - und um Erweiterungen rund um das Thema Mikrocontroller. Außerdem werden wir uns (theoretisch) auch mit Überlegungen zur Realisierung "in Groß" - z.B. als Pixel auf einer Häuserfassade oder als Rauminstallation beschäftigen. Der Kurs wird in Englischer Sprache gehalten.

Topics

Possible Topics:

Topics on Microcontrollers:

timers
interrupts
wireless transmissions (simple ook, and fsk, infrared remotes, nrf24l01)
programming over in-system-programmer
analog reference
spi, i²c, one-wire, rs485, rgb-led chips?
exploring linux (on the yun - or raspberry pi)

techniques for manufacturing and prototyping

methods of making circuit boards (etching: photo-positive, toner transfer, sharpie/edding, )
soldering smd components
using a cnc mill to make circuit board prototypes
eagle, kicad and fritzing for pcb manufacturing
ordering pcbs from a pcb service.

scaling up the amount of outputs:

matrix circuits
analog multiplexers
shift registers
bus systems

Admission requirements

Participation in last semester's class "All Hail The Pixels" or comparable knowledge in programming and electronics.
