Make Your Own Device ! During this seminar, we are going to familiarize ourselves with e-ink technology: what are its main (dis)advantages in comparison to dominant display technologies. And we are going to connect our e-papers to Raspberry Pis and Arduinos and create some real stuff: e-paper based wearables (maybe), the second prototype of a digital primer and who knows, maybe a cool interactive but low-consumption menu for Medienhaus cafeteria. MYOD !

  • Introduction & recapitulation

  • UNIX warm-up

  • Exercise 1: Upload images to hon.local screens

  • PaperTTY

  • 10-minute break

  • Discussion : What would You like to make ?

  • Making, coding, sharing



Philosophy

1573565376 / AE491112


  • Make Your Own Device ! (a sub-branch of DIY)

  • upcycle & recycle

  • Lean ICT & digital sobriety attitude

Why e-paper ?

/

  • natural
  • healthy
  • ecological
  • minimalist

Any why NOT e-paper ?

Existing devices

/


  • e-readers

  • notebooks (onyx)

  • phones (Mudita)

  • our own devices

What do You need in order to build a digital device ?

1573565634 / AE491112

Components we are going to use

/


  • Primer :: RaspberryPi Zero, Re-speaker 2-mic array, WittyPi 3, 6-inch e-paper IT8951, 2 x Grove Gesture Recognition systems, Speaker
  • Herbarium :: Arduino, 4.3 inch e-Paper UART, 1 x Grove Gesture Recognition
  • Your project :: 
 

Design method

1573565876 / AE491112


  • Goal-oriented

  • Organic

  • combining "Gedankenexperimenten" with physical-stuff (i.e. component) permutations

  • collaborative

Coding method

1573566265 / AE491112


  • working with a real-system (advantages ? disadvantages ?)

  • tele-computational (derived from Greek τῆλε, tēle, "far")

  • command-line based

  • collaborative

Collaborative coding

1573566760 / AE491112


  • connect to "cloud" WLAN (password: cirrocumulus)

  • open two terminal windows or tabs on Your computer

  • window1:: ssh fibel@fibel1.local

  • window2 :: ssh pi@hon.local

  • in both windows run: screen -S YOURNAME (e.g. screen -S daniel)
