DESCRIPTION

A slideshow i've created for a workshop at the todaysart festival in the Hague in 2014.It covers the title basically, and should point out the direction of the workshop. You get an idea of what i'm doing with hid-devices and how it works.

reverse engineering your aqquired gear to work for you

- using the device "as it is"- using the device circuitboard and replace components with

other components at your own taste.- "integrate" a controller into a existing design.- use akward objects to house your ideas

the only limitation is your imagination...

How to obtain Source material?

- flea-markets- secondhand shops- marktplaats (dutch online buying/selling website)- sometimes even in trashcans and containers.- during kings night and kings day i have a complete schedule.

29 april i visit Utrecht but it gets to crowded fast with (drunk) people that seem to be wandering without a purpose. On 30 april i wake up as early as possible to get to the stuff i want before someone else does. First in my hometown, then to a bigger city. If you're wondering why you never find anything, now you know….

finding the right components

pushbuttons potentiometers knobs

piezo disk

some examples of my work

teensy board, programmed within a Arduino enveronment. 8 banks of 8 rotary encoders

2 joysticks

Xin-mo gaming pcb

Xin-mo gaming pcb, programmed with Junxion. The buttongrid corresponds with Live's drumrackgrid, the 2 tiny pushbuttons on the side act as "shift" buttons to give a total of 4 x 12 buttons

teensy based fingerdrumming

joystick based, notice the redlight detail...

This was a M-audio 49 keys with some malfunctioning keys

i cutted it trough half, including the pcb (….) and glued and soldered the parts and traces back together. Then, i implanted a wireless joystick and attached pushbuttons and pots to that circuitboard… A wireless midi-keyboard was born…..
