the experiment begins
I’ve been craving to learn how to utilize sensors, actuators, controller boards, and osc to build some interactive environments (post-robotic-ecologies-trauma). Suspecting that most of these products would be made in China anyways and that they’d be quite cheap, my friend and I have started to explore the world of Zhong Guan Cun. We ran into a few stores that specialize in making sensors and circuit boards. We spent about $10. We now have about a hundred LEDs, an infrared sensor, a photosensor, and etc -_-b
It wasn’t easy getting a controller board that we could burn customized program on to. Luckily, we got in touch with an IBM engineer that builds Arduino boards for hobby. So, now the experiment begins :)

Why am i the only one who leaves comments on these things??? LEAVE COMMENTS ppl!! But yeah, this is pretty intense, your experiment, tell me if it works out, it’s so cool, it’s like doing your science experiment~ :P Who’s the person who keeps taking these pictures?

Hi, I’m Tequila Chan (Chinese Name: Chan Tik Fan) , I’m come from HK.
There is my blog: http://www.tequila-design.net
I’m a teacher at HK polyU and STU-CKAD (http://www.ckad.stu.edu.cn) in China, to teach about info-arch, interface design and interactive technology…
I was lucky to read and know that you are exploring the Arduino.
I’m going to teach it to my students at coming semester.
Wiiling to exchange experience with you.

Tequila.
I haven’t had much chance to look at Arduino. Have you had the chance to work with MAKE boards? Those are really nice too. I would love to know how your class goes. Please feel free to contact me at: kimjiho at gmail.com
Thanks for the note
