Accrochages

Nous prévoyons mercredi matin (2 juillet) un accrochage (!) du virevent qui nous a été prêté par la Maison des Cultures et de la Cohésion Sociale de Molenbeek.

Here is a code snippet inspired from the ArduinoSleepCode that makes an Arduino wake up at night.

Following our research on rechargeable batteries and the meeting with Bartaku we ran experiments using a simple solar charger.

EAGLE is a professional software for designing PCBs. It's also pretty useful to create schematics. It is multi-platform and there is a very good "light" freeware version. Get it here:

Yesterday we met Bartaku, an artist who works at foam right next door to iMAL. For one year, Bartaku has carried on a huge research on solar energy.

My experiments with light displays gave me the idea to produce an object that simply displays an arrow.

The photomotion is a general method for a very low-cost, easy-to-build motion detector. It uses a simple photoresistor as a sensor and is triggered by quick variations in the light value.

I tried to hack a pair of cheap (5 Euros) walkie-talkie that I bought in Paris. They work with 4 x 1.5V batteries (so 6V, but actually the batteries are kind of cheap so it makes 5V).

As part of the residency at iMAL, we plan to work with wind-driven artworks along the channel.
