Any given (Hack-Up) sunday

by Lorenzo Grandi on February 24th, 2009

The last Hack-Up consisted of the development of 3 new projects. The code is available here.

It’s an analog time-meter with a gauge display that shows the remaining time for the speech, with three coloured leds that warns the speaker when time is about to finish. Made by Costantino, Giovanni, Cristian Maglie and Luca D’Angelo.

Mash your home up!

by Andrea Reginato on February 19th, 2009

Here is a simple introduction to the connection between web and home automation. It’s my Master thesis in Computer Science at Cà Foscari, actually =)
It’s about the idea of a flexible house you can mash up by interacting with existing web apps. I put it in some slides I presented at Dorkbot Milan in January.
I’m interested in many rising projects linking hardware&web: take a look.
Hope you find it interesting too.
