In the MediaLAB Amsterdam (Lab of the Applied University of Amsterdam) I’ve supervised a few project teams to help them find the right technical solutions for their projects. I’d like to highlight two of them. Read MediaLAB Amsterdam : U-turm – Scryption »

Some resources I’ve mentioned in the lecture of ‘visuals by code’. An overview of toolkits you can use to design and make graphical work by writing code, some examples and a view useful books. Read Visuals by code »

Example how to setup serial communication between Flash and Arduino in combination with the Messenger library for Arduino. This is usefull if you want to use Arduino in a different way than as a sensorbox (if you want that check out the As3glue Firmata combination in my other post).
