MIDIbox of the Week (Light installation by Martin)

[TK.]

This is a light installation made by Martin Froehlich and Friends.

It "brain" consists of two MBHP_CORE modules and a PC.

One core controls a SHX8 module, which drives 64 PWM circuits for light dimming

In addition it transmits the values of 64 position sensors

The second core controls digital signals

The PC software communicates with the cores

More details will be available on a special website from Martin

Here some additional comments in german (use babelfish.altavista.com for translation)

Jede Lampe lässt sich umstecken, alle 4 Richtungen werden erkannt, jede

Lampe lässt sich identifizieren, jede Lampe lässt sich dimmen und jede

Lampe fungiert auch als Taster. Mehr Funktionen einzubauen viel mir

nicht ein, aber dank der Midibox gings...

im Moment ist nur ein Interface, aber in den nächsten Monaten werde ich

Software dafür entwickeln. allerdings nicht mit MIOS, das ist mir zu

wild...
