“the concrete world is starting to get ya.”
Just as I start getting back into electronic hackery, they go and release the Arduino Mega!
I’ve not come close to exceeding the capacity of my Arduino Diecimila, so perhaps I’ll wait a while until getting this, but.. I want!
Cool Components are selling them for £49 + VAT
Recently I’ve been getting into all things electronic again. Strangely, I was doing this a year ago.
Creating the Shopper 13 game sparked my enthusiasm, and I’ve been gathering new parts to experiment with:
In addition to that, I’ve also got a Wii Nunchuck hooked up to my Arduino which I’m currently controlling Flash and Servos via the accelerometer and analog joystick. Oh, and a Laser.. and some Papervision too. When I’ve got something interesting, I’ll post it. Hopefully that’ll be in the next few days 
Well I have to start building my robot army somewhere..
I’ve been working on a game for the Wallace and Gromit installation at the Science Museum.
Here’s a photo I took a while back:
It was a brilliant project to work on, and one of the most fun things I’ve done for a while. Everyone involved was fantastic, and the exhibition itself looks superb. The game is now installed on a row of consoles and is open to the public. The controls are made from arcade-quality components, and uses a Mini-Pac to talk to the PC via USB.
Here’s a very brief clip of it on BBC News 24 (00:30):
If you’re in the area, do go and check out the exhibition, it’s great!
