A friend of mine needed a radio for his typ3 wilson. Unfortunately the Blaupunkt car radio only receives LF and MF radio stations. So we decided to fit a raspberry pi and a amplifier into the housing of the radio and use the switches and turning knobs to interact with the raspberry.

The plan is to create a WLAN access point using the PI which also acts as an airplay access point to stream music from an iphone to the cars speakers

So far I have stripped the electronic parts from the radio and started gathering the materials needed for the access point

This is my Day 8 project for 30daysofcreativity

My Day 7 project for 30daysofcreativity is a drawing in black ink. I used watered down ink to paint the background and the darker shadows.

This animation was created using the btrace addon. I created a particle system and used a turbulence field to move the particles. This time I used the btrace addon to create a curve through all the particles.

My Day 5 project for 30daysofcreativity is a doodle done with black ink.

I really start to like the btrace addon :-) For this animation I moved a no-physics particle system on an icosphere along a spiral. Then I traced the particles to curves. This time I used auto instead of vector as the curves handle types which smooths the curve a lot.

For this animation I used the blender btrace plugin to create curves from particles. The plugin is marked as experimental but it worked pretty well.

This animation was created with blender hair particles. I made the bottom size of the hair strands really big and animated the start value. This is also my Day 2 project for 30DaysOfCreativity

I have no idea why the end positions of the curve move when the start value is animated, but I like the effect.

It's june again (even if the weather in austria still thinks it's november) and this means it's 30daysofcreativity again!

Since the inspirational calender for this year has "toys" on day 1 I make a photo of one of my Robots as my day 1 project

My latest processing sketch uses the arc command to create flowers. I use 20 arcs and control their angle with the x axis of the mouse. The arcs grow at different speeds and on random sides of the flower to create the petals.

Click on the sketch to create a new flower and move the mouse to let it bloom.

I have realized that I haven´t done anything with openframeworks for ages. Which is kind of sad because I really like the framework. So I took my PI and installed openframeworks using this instruction from the openframeWorks-RaspberryPI fork on github

Compiling openFrameworks on a PI took a while but after it finished I was able to compile and run my boid sketch without modifications.

very nice!
