Design & Energy Harvesting

  • Research (Beam): bluetooth boards in connection with the Neurosky Mindwave brain scanner

For connecting the Neurosky Mindwave, which can sensor brain signals directly to an Arduino (or comparable) we compared several Bluetooth boards:

  • Research (Beam): hacking the KH-940 machine knitter

This is called lobotomy - brain transformation - of the knitting machine KH-940. The hardware in the machine is removed and replaced with an Arduino Due. This microcontroller with a special board and special software can connect to the KH-940 knitting machine. You can prepare images for knitting in several knitting techniques. Not only Nordic, but also patent stitch, slip stitch, weave stitch and other stitches.

  • Research (Beam): Making Relief prints using a 3D printer

This investigation was combining the "old" analog relief print press with the "new" 3D printer. The 3D printer is used to create plates which can be printed using the relief print press in the Publication station. Possibilities of the 3D printer, like the fill patterns are used to create special effects. In the workflow the Blender plugin which can make relief from images is used.
