Making laser light synths talk at OSHCamp.
by Andrew Back 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Hi All, Just occurred to me that I'd failed to forward details of a 12th talk which has been added to the programme for OSHCamp, which will be from Seb Lee-Delisle and on making laser light synths, no less! "Making the Laser Light Synths The Laser Light Synths are LED emblazoned musical instruments that anyone can play. Along with high power lasers, they form part of a large outdoor installation that switch the traditional roles of audience and performer. As an artist, Seb Lee-Delisle likes to make interesting things from code that encourage interaction and playfulness from the public. Notable projects include Lunar Trails, featuring a 3m wide drawing machine, and PixelPyros, the Arts Council funded digital fireworks display that toured nationwide." Looking forward to this one :o) Cheers, Andrew

Open Source Inverter + Energy Monitor
by Marcin Jakubowski 19 Jul '16

Friends, Marcin from Open Source Ecology <http://opensourceecology.org/> here. Just heard about OSHCamp 2016 via OSHWA mailing list - and that led me to Open Inverter and Open Energy Monitor. Does anyone know the status of the open source inverter project? Does it work? Is Trystan Lea on this list, regarding Open Energy Monitor? I am asking with respect a project we launched recently, Open Building Institute <http://openbuildinginstitute.org/>. We will build a 700 square foot Seed Home <http://openbuildinginstitute.org/how-it-works/#utilities> this November (Missouri, USA), filled with ecological features. We would like to add open source energy monitoring and open source inverters to its off-grid systems - so that these open source technologies will be a part of the standard Seed Home features. Thus, we would like to add Ken Boak and Trystan Lea to our team of advisors <http://openbuildinginstitute.org/about-who-we-are/> - to bring a complete and crazy open source home to the world. Are you on this list? Please email me if you can help us on the Seed Home. I would like to make it to OSHCamp, as I'll be in Germany on Sep. 5-6.
