Tools & EquipmentA couple of weeks ago, on October 25th, Marty and Amy ran a workshop at the Node to beta test the BlinkyTile dynamic light sculpture kit. Participants worked together to build and program BlinkyTile sculptures using some pre-release versions of the BlinkyTile boards. It took some time to snap out and prep the tiles on […]

They also pointed out that the anti-theft device on our camera (a wrench attached to it) was not particularly effective and might […]
After discovering that someone had absconded with the rubber sling for our giant, life-sized Angry Birds game, the Node crew made a game-time decision to bring our paper rocket station to the Innovation Celebration closing party for Baltimore Innovation Week. We figured a couple hundred slightly tipsy technologists and entrepreneurs grooving to phat beats on […]

The indomitable Michael Diedrick has managed to wrestle our light board to glorious life. The display is driven by python on a raspberry pi, but can work via any computer that runs Python. Michael needs only a quick breather before he goes all coding luchador on the remaining kinks. The project originated in collaboration with Sherwin Mark […]
