Training Bike Visualization
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
i wrote a processing sketch to visualize and record sessions on a training bike. To calculate the rotation-speed of my training bike i hooked up 2 reed-switches to my arduino and taped them to my training bike. Than i sticked a rare earth magnet on each pedal.
the processing sketch draws a small figure on a bike which is animated at the same speed as the bike.
the sketch also records the timestamps to a log file for later analysis.
processing ical-flowers
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
I just made a processing sketch using my ical4p library. The programm draws a flower for every event in a given ical-file. The more events the calender has, the more beautifull the flower-garden is :-)
ical4p Processing lib
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
i have written a small wrapper around ical4j written by Ben Fortuna. This allows to write processing sketches, that visualize data from ical files.
i included a small example in the lib showing how to draw a timeline based on an ical file.
i also have set up a project-page for it. The libray is released under the LGPL.

Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
I'm using DAViCal for syncing the calendars between my computers. Recently events addend in one calendar didn't show up in the other one - not so funny.

now everything is in sync again.
Processing Library Template for ant
Posted by Nikolaus Gradwohl
Yesterday guidelines for developing a processing library have been published including a template for eclipse. Since i don't use eclipse i wrote a small template myselft using ant. So all the vim/TextMate/UltraEdit/whatever-users out there who want to make cool processing libraries check out my template
