#introductions

I create hardware games, computer interfaces, looping and reactive animations and similar experiments.

lately working on a #lua/moonscript cms (with plans to become an operating system) and a tool for midi-reactive #shader animations and livecoding.

Testing knobs with actual panel spacings :) #theWorkshop

Pretty sure this is the one I like the most - weight in the hand, feeling of the surface and feedback from the clicky encoder. It's probably too big, but a size smaller might do.

I'll have to panel mount a bunch with different spacings to figure that out anyway.

different spacings, from bottom to top: 2cm, 3cm, 4cm, 5cm (from center to center)

unsure how I could most easily prototype different spacings with the actual encoders, that would be kinda important for evaluating the spacing w/ regard to actual function.

Also: tag your favourites on the cm grid 😋

#theWorkshop

I knew some of them were too large, but some of them are a lot bigger than I imagined. Not a problem though, these can all be made to specifications anyway. The various flanged ones in pic 2 of OP are my favourites so far, I just wonder if that aesthetic works as well at half the size...

Touch sensitivity still working splendidly with these:

New Knob Day!

#theWorkshop

The reason is partially that there are real costs associated with iteration there (other than time, which I hardly consider for side things like that), but that shouldn't prevent me from progressing with the work done in digital. The dread just means that when I finally push to finish a step like that I'm overeager to "finally get this made" in the phase where careful review would be most appropriate.

Ahh, so stoked to see my passion side project reach some tangible milestones :)

Feels good to push through that dread that usually keeps me from progressing on hardware projects - it feels so intimidating and serious!

Finished routing my first #fpga board - anyone out there that would give some feedback/review before I get this fabbed? How do I reach the electrical engineering fediverse?

@Ludonaut I could probably use spare opinions if you feel like coming by some time next week :)

Its ten different shapes, most of them in silver and anodized black and mostly in pairs for evaluating knob spacing and 'look en masse'.

There's gonna be a little knob-tasting-session at the office next week

Ordered a big bag of different aluminum knob samples for my fpga-encoder project... Looking forward to figure out what makes a good knob :P

VOD of our #vectronom live music/game playformance at stunfest is online: http://www.twitch.tv/stunfest4/v/426100809?sr=a&t=4090s

ah no, there is a secret conversion phase between upload and postability where the video just disappears and there is no feedback whatsoever. Anyway, here's the clip:

classic, video to big for mastalab and it silently ignores it when uploading :D

Shaky Video of VJ mode for #Vectronom WIP :)

Going to perform the game live @ Stunfest in Rennes in two days :)
#theFoundry

Managed to write JavaScriptCore/Webkit/Ultralight-uX wrappers for the immer c++ vector + set types (sinusoid.es/immer), with working "proper equality" cheks and JS iterator support :)
