Is not ready for prime time, but these people’s heart is definitely in the right place. This would make a great ambient indicator. November 12th, 2010 Category: Uncategorized. Bought one of these from ThinkGeek, and it would make a great Arduino project. Can it be easily retrofitted to create an ambient indicator? It’s been seventee...

Architecture for Ambient Information Objects. Archive for the 'Hardware Architecture' Category. Core HW and SW decisions for first draft. May 04th, 2008 Category: Device Prototypes. So now I need to decide:. Do I need to buy a MAC address block? Do I need to buy an IEEE address block? Is there any way I can do without either one? Microchip Ethernet controller for the Ethernet solution. Lowest cost I think. Wiznet for the Ethernet solution. Probably most robust, lower code overhead. I doubt it. I prob...

Architecture for Ambient Information Objects. Instructables’ USB gizmos. I love keeping an eye on Instructables for USB ambient indicator apps. Currently there’s an instructable by the USB Typewriter person, showing how to make your own USB typewriter. And though they didn’t use USB, the idea is the same: one cool, super-simple indicator. That uses a parallel port, of all things, two LEDs, and a little piece of server software, and a browser script, to indicate new Facebook posts. In this IPSO white paper.

Architecture for Ambient Information Objects. Archive for the 'Concept' Category. May 03rd, 2008 Category: Concept. This article from Make is an overview of the nascent Open Source Hardware movement. As I read it I think “Sure, this makes sense for Make, and the Instructables people, because us revealing our work is how THEY make their money. But what about us? 8221; and then I read the developer’s page. And still make money? This post from Make talks about Ambient Inc’s release of their chipset. On desi...

Architecture for Ambient Information Objects. Archive for the 'Online Service' Category. March 24th, 2008 Category: Network Bridges. My understanding of Ethernet is still pretty hazy, but I did learn that a TCP packet is 20-50 bytes (typ closer to 20). So a “got data? 8221; query, and a “no” ack, could be a total of about 50 bytes. This reduces my initial rough bw calcs by more than order of magnitude. March 13th, 2008 Category: Presentation.

Architecture for Ambient Information Objects. Archive for the 'Network Bridges' Category. UTasker or uP as fast Ethernet solutions. May 04th, 2008 Category: Network Bridges. Taking a closer look at these two low-cost software solutions:. One possibility would be for me to more or less duplicate what the modules do: use an ARM processor and an ethernet-specific OS. UTasker is free to experiment with, and only $500 to buy for a product, so if it works it is a great way to go. Yes, it is supported. I played...
