This wednesdays WIP night will be dedicated to various OpenCV projects. This is partly to prepare material for the upcoming Open CV workshop, but we also have a number of vision based projects on the go. Come by and get a sneak preview of the course, or just chat about computer vision.
Cost: Free, although pass-the-hat style donations to support the lab are encouraged.

On Work In Progress Night a foulaber brings a work in progress to the lab and works on it for a few hours. Anyone interested can drop in to check it out and discuss the project, receive or give advice, or bring a similar project and work on it. There is no promise that anything will actually work, but it should be fun!!!
Supposedly, the Neurosky Mindwave Mobile has a fairly flexible developer API. I’ve got a Mindwave. It’s time to try it out.

Everyone needs a few kilovolts now and then. Using a flyback transformer or an automotive coil it is possible to build a moderately high voltage supply. Several interesting projects can be done with this, including ionic lifters, Kirlian photography and alpha particle detection, not to mention big fancy sparks.

While the idea of putting a couple steppers on an etch a sketch to produce etch a sketch drawings seems straightforward, there are actually a number of tricky points. There is quite a bit of mechanical backlash in the sketch, meaning that the order in which you draw lines makes a lot of difference. The image processing required to generate a scene which can be drawn in a single line from a picture is also interesting.

Gapzap recently scored some righteous looking lcd panels. It would be cool to include them as part of an Arduino workshop. However, we first have to figure out how they work. Time permitting, may also work on a few other Arduino related items, e.g. bootloader flashing. If you have Arduino projects, drop on down.
