Creative Developer and Designer
Different how-to posts on creative technology like topics as Arduino, Processing, Computer Vision, OSC and more. For creative (wannabe) nerds that want to create cool things with technology themselves. If you don’t fall in this category you still might be interested to see what I can do for you..
The controlP5 library for Processing makes it easy to add knobs and buttons to your Processing applications. In this article an example how to add some interface elements (buttons, sliders etc.) and how to listen to their events.
The AVCHD codec is a very processor intensive codec. A lot of computers have problem displaying and editing 1080i video ( resolution 1920 by 1080 ) video. When editing video its important to have fast and smooth playback. You can also apply and preview effects a lot faster when not working with AVCHD. In this article some options to convert AVCHD to DV to work with AVCHD in a more fluent way.
Media Encoder CS4 comes with a few standard presets, however they contain not always the best settings. In this article you will find the optimal export/encoding options you can make voor YouTube/Vimeo HD quality movies.

Control a RGB led with Hue, Saturation and Brightness (HSB / HSV ).
Learn how to use the Arduino map() function to change a variable number from one range to another. Also check the other example on how to smooth Analog Input values by taking multiple samples and average those.
How to write a program that fires actions with different intervals without using the delay() function. Configuration of the serial port and printing values is also explained.
How to program a state change functionality. ‘State change detection’ is a method to see when a button is pressed or released. You can use it to fire a different action each press of a button.
In this tutorial the basic code structure ( setup, loop ) of Arduino script is also explained.
A video tutorial on how to render a composition in After Effects CS3 for Vimeo or You Tube. Including an overview of settings to make for HD video export and SD video export. The settings apply of course as well to other programs like Premiere.
In this video tutorial I explain how to setup communication between the Arduino microcontroller board and Flash ( Actionscript 2). Example files are included.
