15. There was a soul
with a great dream…

17. and one group with greed

19. WHO IS TESLA?

20. The fundamental drive to
improve life vs the fundamental
drive to profit from life.

21. Technology as
limitless resource

22. Today at odds with each other are these same
forces and one is exceptionally good at co-
opting, corrupting and shutting down the
other…

23. Even though we lost in terms of
battle for free power, there’s
never stopped being a resistance.

24. the greatest hacker
group in Europe.

25. RADICAL
OPENNESS

26. TRANSMUTATION

27. mechanical work = motor
radiated energy = lamps, transmitters
stored energy = battery, capacitors, inductors
Transducers

28. open source software
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software
with its source code made available with a license
in which the copyright holder provides the rights to
study, change, and distribute the software to
anyone and for any purpose.

29. open source hardware
Open-source hardware (OSH) consists
of physical artifacts of technology
designed and offered by the open
design movement. Both free and open-
source software (FOSS) as well as open-
source hardware is created by this
open-source culture movement and
applies a like concept to a variety of
components. It is sometimes, thus,
referred to as FOSH (free and open
source hardware). The term usually
means that information about the
hardware is easily discerned so that
others can make it - coupling it closely
to the maker movement.[1]

30. THE SHAPE
OF POWER

31. THE SHAPE OF
COMMUNITY

32. WHY CARE?

34. 34

36. Because this class is all about
Power

37. and the relationship between
voltage , current and resistance.

38. and the relationship between
voltage , current and resistance.

39. Voltage
difference in electric potential energy between
two points per unit electric charge.

40. Current
How fast is the voltage flowing

42. Resistance (R)
How easily can the current flow?

45. Really though it’s all about input
Light sensors,
Sound sensors
Pressure sensors
Buttons
Microphones
Touch Sensors
Motion Sensor
Temperature Sensors

46. and output
heat,
cold,
light,
form & touch
sound,
vibration

47. and the relationship
between these two
things you create

48. THINK OF EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD AS DATA
YOU CAN MEASURE

49. THINK OF YOUR WORLD AS AN
INTERFACE

50. ALL YOU NEED IS A WAY TO MEASURE THAT DATA
AND THAT’S WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH A MICRO
CONTROLLER.

51. Cons:
Huge
Big Usb Cable
Expensive
Pros:
Stable
Works with anything
ARDUINO

Touch Board runs
on 5V and has a
boost circuit to
power up from
LiPo batteries.
Touch Board has
a 3.3V regulator
to power 3.3V
logic circuits.
0<Value<5V
0<Reading<1023
4.9mV per unit
These are great
for grounding
shielded cable
when used with
the electrode
This is to
accommodate
standard 8 pin
headers.
These map to
the larger touch
electrodes and
are useful for
permanent project
Touch Board
uses a dedicated
touch chip for
touch and
proximity
Use these for
your project’s
additional
features.
Touch Board has
a special chip for
MP3 decoding
and MIDI
function.
Cons:
Super
expensive
No forums
Pros:
Just flat out rad
Great docs
Good support
BARE BOARD

53. Cons:
Not as much Windows
support
Pros:
This is the wearable
platform to go for if
you’re going to sew
your circuits
Forums are great
FLORA

54. Cons:
You have to add your
own header pins
The 3.1 is more robust
Pros:
Small, light, and also good for wearables
The 3.1 version works as a synth
3.1 version also has touch pads
TEENSY

55. Cons:
Bugs. Lots of bugs.
Lag because wifi
Super new tech
Pros:
There’s nothing else quite like it
Small + good for wearables
Always on wifi or 3G depending on the unit
Rocking forums
Usually works after the suffering
Particle devices

56. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNIMCdVOHOM

58. THE TWO MOST COMMON USE OF PINS
Digital & Analog* (PWM)

59. Get the data in
Send the data out

60. DIGITAL
ON/OFF

61. PWM / ANALOG
0-1024

62. Programming IDE options:
1. Arduino
2. Sublime with the use external editor
box checked in the Ardunio preference
3. Atom if you use Particle devices

65. Languages C or C++
It’s malloc or pointer

68. Standard Firmata vs
Serial data

69. Why build your own
interface?

70. If you go with what’s out there
you get a screen and buttons

71. You get limits and
someone else defining
what colors are in the
crayon box of your
creative practice.

72. So what happens if you
control the metal?

73. you control the
possibility space

74. with every new design you
introduce a new way of
thinking

75. with every new design you
empower a new way of
being

76. What can happen when
you build the hardware?

81. Deep Sea
Robin Arnot

82. you can go from passive
consumer

83. to active agent

84. You are responsible for the future
of technology.
Not a government.
Not google.
Not a pharmaceutical company.

85. Yes, you.

86. TOGETHER WE
KNOW MORE

87. Anyone can create

88. Create interesting
interventions

89. Remind people of our
interconnectivity

90. Empower others

91. HAVE FUN

92. GIVE BACK

93. “The present is theirs; the future, for which
I really worked, is mine.”
Nikola Tesla
