Hacking Sensor Interfaces - MSc Sound Design

Websites and Blogshttp://www.tigoe.net/pcomp/index.shtmlTom Igoe teaches on the ITP course in New York and wrote the classicPhysical Computing book with colleague Dan O'Sullivan. His website has avast collection of tutorials, code snippets, sensor information and more.http://www.sensorwiki.org/Nice overview of kinds of sensors and where to get them, as well as listingsensor interfaces and kits. Part of a broader wiki project originated at McGillUniversity (Montreal)http://cnmat.berkeley.edu/resourcesLibrary of information on materials, sensors, interface devices, tools etc,produced by Centre for New Music & Audio Technologies (CNMAT) at UCBerkeley Music Department.http://www.kobakant.at/DIY/“How to get what you want” – tutorials and documentation on many kinds ofDIY sensor and interface techniques relating to “soft circuits”, smarttextiles/crafting and wearable technology. A project by Mika Satomi andHannah Perner-Wilson aka Kobakant.http://www.prc68.com/I/Sensors.shtmlAnother list of sensors. Messy but incredibly exhaustive.http://www.cycling74.com/story/2007/3/12/113645/135Andrew Benson’s tutorial ‘Making Connections: Connecting a Joystick toMaxMSP/Jitter’ on the Cycling’74 website. Shows how to use the hi object,interpret the data it spits out, and how to hack the joystick.http://www.dorkbot.org/Dorkbot is a world-wide hacking movement bringing together “people doingstrange things with electricity”, generally artists, engineers, designers,musicians and computer nerds. Dorkbot Alba, the Scottish group, meetsregularly in the Forest Café in Edinburgh.http://www.epemag.wimborne.co.uk/solderfaq.htmBasic guide to solderinghttp://www.anti-theory.com/soundart/circuitbend/Reed Ghazala's website on circuit bendinghttp://blog.makezine.com/Online companion to O'Reilly's MAKE magazine. Lots of example hacks andprojects to build.http://delicious.com/pixelfrenzyChris’s bookmarks – search for tags like sensors, hacking, interaction,software etc.Chris Hand 28/1/10 9/10
