Balloon IoT Environmental Sensing Takes to the Air

By Rob Faludi Posted on October 1, 2019 Posted in Communities, Events, Internet of Things, LoRa, Networking

We have liftoff. My first Balloon Environmental Sensing test successfully “slipped the surly bonds of earth, and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings” sending data back the whole time. First flight was at the Digital Naturalism Conference in Gamboa, Panama, …

Rust Garden

By Rob Faludi Posted on August 24, 2019 Posted in Art, Communities, Events, Gardening

Rust is gorgeous. We marvel at its endless shades of ochre, red, orange and sienna. We appreciate the organic shapes created as right angles collapse and edges decay into jagged landscapes. Rust is poetic, photogenic, artistic and melancholy. It grows …

XBee Cymbal Monkey

By Rob Faludi Posted on August 27, 2012 Posted in Communities, Networking, XBee

You want your project noticed? Nobody can ignore a hyperactive cymbal-playing chimp that creates a cacophony of sound when triggered over the Internet. Inspired as always by Tom Igoe’s Making Things Talk, we hooked this toy terror up to an XBee …
