OSC">
PixelController gets better and better and I've even managed to create a Video showing the OSC Gui on my Xoom tablet. I'm using the Control Application by Charlie Roberts in my Video:

Oh and if you're asking yourself, where the OSC ...Read More
After I reinstalled my MacBook on my brand new SSD disk, I discovered that maven v3.0.3 was installed with the Java bundle. I tried to build PixelController which was working fine using maven v2.1.x. Of course, compiling failed now ...Read More
PixelController is a real time video/VJ generator and mixer software. Most of the Visuals are generated and mixed in realtime and respond to the environment. I use PixelController to control my PixelInvaders Panels.
PixelController supports well-known industry and OpenSource standards, such ...Read More
3D RGB LED Panels">
After several month of working on my PixelInvaders 3D RGB Panels I finally reached my goal: a huge and easy to assemble RGB LED Panel.
Besides the hardware, the control software was a big task. I created PixelController, a modular software ...Read More
LPD6803 Tutorial, Part 2: Simple VU Meter">
Make sure you read Part 1 of this tutorial.
In this tutorial we use a strand of 20 LPD6803 RGB LED as huge VU Meter. Processing will send serial data to the Arduino which will display it.
The source can be ...Read More
This is another rxtx library release based on my previous release. This new version improves the "serial event callback function" and thus reduce the library latency enormous - for more information read THIS article.
So whats the use of this updated ...Read More
Paul Stoffregen was kind enough to send my a free Teensy 2.0 sample board to analyze the Arduino serial latency issue - and this board is shocking small:
We wrote a very simple firmware to perform some basic benchmarks - Paul ...Read More

The current bottleneck for my Rainbowduino project is the serial latency of the Arduino FTDI USB-Serial chip (currently 20ms round trip time from Processing to Arduino and back). There are some OS specific driver tweaks to improve the latency - ...Read More
I just released a new version of the neorainbowduino "package". It contains firmware for the Arduino and Rainbowduino and a new Processing library. Now you may control your rainbowduino's from Processing!
Unfortunally you need to patch your arduino wire library:
utility/twi.h: ...Read More
I want use Pure Data as GUI for an application. I wrote a little PD patch which send and receive data via tcp connections. I use Processing to get this messages (PD use a message format called FUDI).
The Pure Data ...Read More
I bought two Rainbowduinos from seeedstudio and wanted to play a bit. A Rainbowduino is basically a 8x8 led matrix driver with a I2C interface. This image shows two rainbowduinos, each with a 8x8 RGB Matrix, in action:
I used my ...Read More
