Now I can play the hit 1998 game The Typing Of The Dead... in CW.The code practice oscillator / morse keyer in this video is a prototype device of my own design developed for the Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040). The game is the PC port of the Typing Of The Dead, shown here running on Linux via Proton.
Supercomputer Study with Periodic Frogger AI Conor Peterson 2014-01-06 | Supercomputer Study with Periodic Frogger AIby Conor Peterson, 2013Machined aluminum, dot matrix displays, electronics11.5 x 4.5 x .75"This work is based on the mesmerizing display of lights on the front panel of "FROSTBURG," a supercomputer commissioned by the NSA during the 1990s. The density of the display waxes and wanes during the course of the day. Once every 24 hours an interloper appears, represented by a bright red dot, and attempts to navigate across the matrix as per the classic video game Frogger. The game lasts for approximately 20 minutes before resuming normal operation.The sculpture is powered by an Atmel ATmega328P, the same microcontroller that powers the popular Arduino.http://www.conorpeterson.org

Rear projection on half-silvered mirror Conor Peterson 2010-10-25 | This is a normal two-way mirror that was put through a bead blaster. The projection is still too bright for my purposes; either I'll have to gel the projector to tame it down or amp up the light on the viewer's side.

Cant installed Conor Peterson 2009-12-10 | Video documentation of "Cant," a sort of sound sculpture / installation I made in 2009. The crickets are light sensitive and react to the presence of people nearby in the gallery. I used an Arduino Duemilanove as the microcontroller. If you're interested, I can furnish the source code and describe the internal workings. File this under "abuse of cat 5."
