In June, I reported on the first DC Dorkbot meeting. The second gathering of the group happened on Tuesday night, at Teasism in Penn Quarter. Unfortunately, I was on the road and couldn’t make it. Thomas Edwards has some pics of the event and sent the following report to the elist:
“In case you missed last night, Rebecca Adams gave a presentation about her electroacoustic sculptures, I gave a presentation on sensors, Scott Hutchison showed a DVD of his painted animations, Tim Slagle showed off
great pictures and video of the Survival Research Labs show he went to last weekend, and Bryan Leister showed off his cool Theremin which doubles as a proximity sensor MIDI control device.”
You can see more pics here.
Thomas also gave a PowerPoint presentation on “Sensors You Should Know About.” It’s a pretty handy thumbnail guide to various sensor systems, what they sense, what they cost, and where you can get ’em. Here’s a link to the PPT doc.
