Welcome in the BlinkenArea, the portal for "blinken" [=flashing/sparkling/blinking] projects. The BlinkenArea is a project group of people who are interested in computers and electronics and in a creative handling of both of it. They attend to the research and operation of flashing projects. In the meantime, more than 60 hard- and software projectes were developed. The group grows constantly and the number of small and big projects rises as well. The major projects have been the pixel room [[TROIAEnglish|TROIA]] and the display building [[BlueBoxEnglish|bluebox]]. Detailled information about all projects is available on the page [[Projects]]. News are always published in the BlinkenArea [https://blog.blinkenarea.org Blog].

=== Origin and motivation ===
The page [[BlinkenAreaEnglish|BlinkenArea]] tells you more about history, background and motivation. Apart from realising projects, the BlinkenArea people set their sights on collecting money which is scheduled to flow into public welfare, e.g. by selling own developed assembly kits or campaigns within bigger projects. The attention is focussed on supporting children, fighting against poverty and spreading education. Information about the social engagement of the BlinkenArea people can be found on the page [[Campaign]]. The BlinkenArea set further objectives which are listed on the page [[Goals]].

=== Contribute ===
Everybody who is interested in our "blinken" projects and wants to contribute or support our honorary work is cordially welcomed. We are always looking for software engineers, tinkerer, translators, news editors, designer, musicians (set movies to music), and -- of course -- new projects. If you want to join the BlinkenArea, please visit the page [[Join]]. The BlinkenArea runs a [[Mailinglist]] and a discussion [https://forum.blinkenarea.org forum] where you can ask questions, join in the conversation or just read along.

=== Press ===
Information for journalists and editors is available on the page [[Press]].

Willkommen in der [http://www.blinkenarea.org BlinkenArea], dem Portal für blinkende Projekte. Die BlinkenArea ist ein Zusammenschluss von computer- und elektronikbegeisterten jungen Menschen, die sich der Erforschung und dem Betrieb blinkender Objekte widmen und inzwischen mehr als 60 blinkende Hard- und Softwareprojekte entwickelt und umgesetzt haben. Die Gruppe wächst stetig und ebenso steigt die Anzahl an größeren und kleinen Projekten. Die beiden größten Projekte waren der Pixelraum [[TROIA]] und das Fassadendisplay [[bluebox]]. Detaillierte Informationen über alle Projekte erhältst Du auf der Seite [[Projekte]]. News findest Du im BlinkenArea [https://blog.blinkenarea.org Blog].

=== Hintergrund und Motivation ===
Auf der Seite [[BlinkenArea]] kannst Du mehr über Entstehung, Hintergründe und Motivation erfahren. Neben der Umsetzung von Projekten hat sich die BlinkenArea von Beginn an zum Ziel gesetzt, zum Beispiel durch Spendenaktionen im Rahmen von größeren Projekten oder durch den Verkauf von selbst entwickelten Bausätzen Gelder zu sammeln, die dann gemeinnützigen Zwecken zu Gute kommen. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt hierbei auf der Unterstützung von Kindern, Bekämpfung von Armut und der Verbreitung von Bildung. Auf der Seite [[Kampagne]] haben wir Informationen über das gesellschaftliche Engagement der BlinkenArea zusammengestellt. Die Ziele der BlinkenArea findest Du auf der Seite [[Ziele]].

=== Mitmachen ===
Die BlinkenArea betreibt eine [[Mailingliste]] und ein [https://forum.blinkenarea.org/ Forum]. Dort kannst Du Fragen stellen, mitreden oder einfach nur lesen. In diesem Wiki gibt es viele Informationen zu den existierenden und zukünftigen Projekten, schau Dich einfach mal um.

Jeder, der etwas dazu beitragen kann, ist eingeladen, in der BlinkenArea und in diesem Wiki mitzuarbeiten. Wir suchen immer Programmierer, Hardwarebastler, Übersetzer, Korrekturleser, Newsredakteure, Grafiker (Logos, Blinkenlights Filme), Musiker (Musik für Videos), Videoschnipsler und neue Projekte. Du kannst dann hier im Wiki Seiten anlegen, bestehende Seiten ergänzen oder Deine Blinken-Software ablegen. Für besonders engagierte BlinkerInnen gibt es einen Account auf unserem Server. Du hast dann eine eMail-Adresse im Format username at blinkenarea.org und Webspace unter username.blinkenarea.org. Wenn Du bei uns mitmachen möchtest, dann schau auf der Seite [[Mitmachen]] vorbei.

''[[Projects|back to summary]]''

The building, in which project bluebox took place, had been built in 1967 as a construction of large prefabricated concrete slabs. Shortly after the German Reunification, all inhabitants started to move out during the year 1990. Almost each of them left behind a nice lamp in his or her flat. Because they look like unidentified flying objects, they are nicknamed „UFO lamp“. Since the end of the project bluebox the removed lamps had been liing around. But in the run-up to HAR, the old lamps went into action again. After cleaning and repairing the lamps, they were arranged as a 3x3 matrix. Now, it is showing the appropriate hacker symbol Glider, which was suggested in 2003 for the first time. It refers the the hacker culture around free software and open source.

''Juliane & ST: [[https://har2009.org/program/events/130.en.html beautifulism & [de]light]] (Donnerstag, 16 Uhr)''

Celebrating the 5th anniversary of the founding of the BlinkenArea last year, it is now time to start for the future of researching and operating flashlights. The new meme of beautifulism & [de]light will lead us to the next generation of BlinkenArea projects. The lecture is intended to introduce the BlinkenArea, a project group of people who are interested in computers and electronics and in a creative handling of both of it. In the meantime, more than 60 hard- and software projects have been developed. The group grows constantly and the number of small and big projects rises as well. After the great performance at the Chaos Communication Camp 2003 and the amazing Twinkeldorpje at What The Hack! in 2005 we are ready for the next step in research and operation of flashing lights. We are going to define a new meme – beautifulism & [de]light.

Furthermore, we would like to recapitulate and showcase the main BlinkenArea project: display building bluebox. It turned an abandoned building constructed by using precast concrete slabs in the centre of Magdeburg (Germany) into an interactive computer display. The modification was inspired by similar projects, as Blinkenlights. Each of the 686 windows became a single pixel of the huge computerized screen by means of a foil and an usual halogen reflector lamp. Pictures and movies have been shown on the front of the building and everybody was able to play the simple games Pong, Pacman and Symmetris (kind of Tetris) on the huge computerised screen by calling a number via a (mobile) phone. In addition to that, the phone number could be used to start own movies using a code obtained by sending in the created movies via email.

Of course, we would also like to present our current projects started in 2009 and the development of our social engagement on which we set our sights as well. The attention is focussed on supporting children, fighting against poverty and spreading education. In the end of the lecture, we are going to share our ideas about upcoming projects and the future of flashlights.

''BlinkenArea HARcade: [[https://har2009.org/program/events/131.en.html BlinkenArea Movie Contest]]''

The BlinkenArea people are going to organise a movie contest for HARCade (BlinkenArea project [http://photos.blinkenarea.org/v/CLT2009/CLT2009-BlinkenArea-TroiCade-08.jpg.html TroiCade], which will be built up somewhere at HAR area). Everybody can create movies shown on the project during the event by using a special software, provided on [http://bluebox.blinkenarea.org/mitmachen.html#blimp bluebox website]. A jury will be assembled to choose the best movie and to award a prize at the end of HAR.

''Juliane & ST: [[https://har2009.org/program/events/130.en.html beautifulism & [de]light]] (Donnerstag, 16 Uhr)''

Celebrating the 5th anniversary of the founding of the BlinkenArea last year, it is now time to start for the future of researching and operating flashlights. The new meme of beautifulism & [de]light will lead us to the next generation of BlinkenArea projects. The lecture is intended to introduce the BlinkenArea, a project group of people who are interested in computers and electronics and in a creative handling of both of it. In the meantime, more than 60 hard- and software projects have been developed. The group grows constantly and the number of small and big projects rises as well. After the great performance at the Chaos Communication Camp 2003 and the amazing Twinkeldorpje at What The Hack! in 2005 we are ready for the next step in research and operation of flashing lights. We are going to define a new meme – beautifulism & [de]light.

Furthermore, we would like to recapitulate and showcase the main BlinkenArea project: display building bluebox. It turned an abandoned building constructed by using precast concrete slabs in the centre of Magdeburg (Germany) into an interactive computer display. The modification was inspired by similar projects, as Blinkenlights. Each of the 686 windows became a single pixel of the huge computerized screen by means of a foil and an usual halogen reflector lamp. Pictures and movies have been shown on the front of the building and everybody was able to play the simple games Pong, Pacman and Symmetris (kind of Tetris) on the huge computerised screen by calling a number via a (mobile) phone. In addition to that, the phone number could be used to start own movies using a code obtained by sending in the created movies via email.

Of course, we would also like to present our current projects started in 2009 and the development of our social engagement on which we set our sights as well. The attention is focussed on supporting children, fighting against poverty and spreading education. In the end of the lecture, we are going to share our ideas about upcoming projects and the future of flashlights.

 BlinkenArea Movie Contest

* Schicke Deinen Film an contest 'at' blinkenarea.org
* Deadline: 16th August, 2009 at 11am
* Fragen? Schreib uns eine Email!

===blm - Blinkenlights Markup Language===

Die [[Blinkenlights_Markup_Language|Blinkenlights Markup Language]] wurde von der Gruppe Projekt Blinkenlights eingeführt und hat sich für blinkende Anwendungen etabliert. Die Auflösung der Filme für TroiCade muss 32 x 24 Pixel betragen und es können bis zu 128 Graustufen verwendet werden.

===Blimp - BlinkenLights Interactive Movie Program===

Blimp ist in [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(Programmiersprache) Java] geschrieben und somit auf allen Plattformen ausführbar, für die es eine entsprechende Java Laufzeitumgebung gibt. Auf java.com kannst du Versionen für Linux, MacOS X, Windows und Solaris herunterladen. MacOS X Benutzer können über "Software Update" im Apfelmenü ihr Java aktualisieren. [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Blimp] kann lokal als Applikation aber auch online oder offline mit einem Browser ([http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Applet]) verwendet werden.
Bei grafischen Oberflächen kannst du das jar file in der Regel mit einem Doppelklick öffnen. Wenn nicht, kannst Du es mit java -jar Blimp.jar aus einer Konsole (Eingabeaufforderung) starten. Öffnest du es als Applet mit einem Browser, startet es automatisch.

Mit Blimp ist es möglich, Bilder bzw. Animationen zu erstellen oder zu veränden und sie dann z.B. im bml-Format zu speichern. Blimp bietet einige einfache Zeichenfunktionen und Effekte. Außerdem können Bilder und Bildsequenzen in gängigen Formaten wie png, jpg oder gif importiert werden. Du kannst also mit einem Animationsprogramm (was in der Regel kein bml speichern kann) einen 32 x 24 Film erstellen, als Bildsequenz speichern, in Blimp importieren und dann als bml speichern.

* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/ Blimp Downloadverzeichnis (incl. Quellen)]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Blimp herunterladen]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Blimp direkt im Browser starten]

===Scroller Perlscript===

Mit diesem Script können Bilder, die größer als die gewünschte Ziel-Auflösung sind, in einen Film im bml-Format konvertiert werden, der das Bild durchscrollt. Ist das Bild zu hoch, wird es von oben nach unten gescrollt, ist es zu breit, von links nach rechts. Wenn die Ausgangsgrafik zu hoch und zu breit ist, wird im "ZickZack" von oben links nach unten rechts gescrollt. Die Geschwindigkeit ist einstellbar.

Um das Script benutzen zu können, wird [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_(Programmiersprache) Perl] (z.B. [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl] - Perl Distribution für AIX, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris und Windows) und ein Programm, was Bilder im pgm-Format (Portable Gray Map) speichern kann (z.B. [http://www.gimp.org/ The GIMP] - freies Grafikprogramm für Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X und Windows), benötigt.

Wenn das Bild im pgm-Format (raw) vorliegt, kann das Script mit folgender Syntax aufgerufen werden:

''perl scroller.pl <pgm-image> <width> <height> <bml-output> [<interval>]''

<pgm-image> = Name des Quellbildes im pgm-Format (raw) 
<width> = Breite die der Zielfilm haben soll (bei bluebox 98) 
<height> = Höhe die der Zielfilm haben soll (bei bluebox 7) 
<bml-output> = Name unter dem der Zielfilm gespeichert werden soll 
[<interval>] = so lange wird ein Frame des Zielfilmes angezeigt (in ms)

Beispiel: ''perl scroller.pl testbild.pgm 32 24 testfilm.bml 120''

* http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/scroller.pl

===Filme mit MPlayer in das bml-Format konvertieren===

Um Filme z.B. im avi Format in das bml-Format zu bringen, kann MPlayer bemüht werden. Leider ist die Funktion nicht standardmäßig aktiviert. Das bedeutet, wenn Du fertige Pakete benutzt, wie sie von diversen Linux-Distributionen bzw. für MacOS und Windows zum Herunterladen angeboten werden, funktioniert es nicht. Du musst Dir die Quellen laden und MPlayer selbst kompilieren.
MPlayer unter Linux kompilieren:

Quellen herunterladen 
Wenn du die "Binary Codec Packages" benutzen möchtest, musst Du Sie ebenfalls laden und in /usr/local/lib/codecs/ auspacken. 
Sourcen auspacken 
''tar -jxf MPlayer-x.xx.tar.bz2'' 
in das Verzeichnis wechseln 
''cd MPlayer-x.xx'' 
configure mit Parameter --enable-bl aufrufen, um den bml Support einzuschalten 
''./configure --enable-bl'' 
kompilieren 
''make'' 
installieren 
''make install'' 

Das zu konvertierende Video sollte in einer Auflösung vorliegen, die ein Vielfaches von 32 x 24 ist, z.B. 320 x 240. Es können auch andere Auflösungen verwendet werden, aber das Seitenverhältnis muss stimmen, sonst wird es nicht schön aussehen. Du solltest also lieber vorher einen geeigneten Ausschnitt wählen und es so beschneiden, dass das Seitenverhältnis stimmt. Praktisch ist es auch, vorher das Video mit einem Jpeg-Codec zu encoden, da nur in diesem Format Schwarz auch wirklich als Schwarz ins bml Format übersetzt wird. Bei anderen Formaten z.B. mp4 oder Raw wird die erste Graustufe, nicht als 0 sondern als 1 gespeichert. Hast Du nun einen Video mit einer entsprechenden Auflösung, kann es konvertiert werden.

''mplayer -vo bl:grayscale:file=test.bml -zoom -vf scale=32:24 test.avi''

===blm - Blinkenlights Markup Language===

The [[Blinkenlights_Markup_Language_English|Blinkenlights Markup Language]] has been developed by Project Blinkenlights and has established as state of the art for flashing devices. The resolution for the [[TroiCadeEnglish|TroiCade]] needs to be 32 x 24 pixel. Additionally, 128 scales of grey can be used.
/wiki/Java_(software_platform) Java] and can be used on each operating system with Java runtime environment. On java.com you can get your version (Linux, MacOS X, Windows and Solaris). [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Blimp] can be started as an application, but also online or offline in a web browser ([http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Applet]).

When using a graphic user interface, you can start the jar file by double click, usually. Of course, you can also do it on your console: java -jar Blimp.jar. Using the applet within a browser it starts automatically.

With Blimp, you can now create your own movies or animations and change respectively. Then, you can save it in the .bml file format. Blimp provides some simple painting functions. Furthermore, pictures and sequences can be integrated in standard formats, such as .png, .jpg oder .gif, but you can also prepare your 32 x 24 movie by a graphic programm (which might be not able to export bml files), import it into Blimp and finally save as .bml.

* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/ Blimp Download file (incl. sources)]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Download Blimp]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Start Blimp in your browser]

===Scroller Perlscript===

Pictures, which are oversized for the TroiCade, can be converted into a movie, which scrolls over the picture. When it is too high, it scrolls downwards. Pictures, that has a large width, it scrolls from left to the right. The speed can be chosen.

To use the script, you need [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl Perl] (z.B. [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl] - Perl Distribution for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris and Windows) and a programm, that can export pictures into the .pgm format (Portable Gray Map) (e.G. [http://www.gimp.org/ The GIMP] - free graphic programm for Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X and Windows).

The script can be started with the following syntax, when the picture is available in .pgm format (raw):

''perl scroller.pl <pgm-image> <width> <height> <bml-output> [<interval>]''

<pgm-image> = name of the source picture in .pgm format (raw) 
<width> = width of the target animation (for TroiCade: 32) 
<height> = hight of the target animation (bei TroiCade: 24) 
<bml-output> = name of the target animation 
[<interval>] = how long shall a frame of the target animation be displayed (in ms)

Example: ''perl scroller.pl testbild.pgm 32 24 testfilm.bml 120''

* http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/scroller.pl

=== Converting movies in .bml format using MPlayer===

To convert movies available as e.g. avi into .bml format, MPlaer can be used. Unfortunately, you need to acivate this functionality when using standard package from the various Liux distributions. You need to download the sources and compile MPlayer by yourself:
Download sources 
If you would like to use "Binary Codec Packages" you need to download them as well and extract it to /usr/local/lib/codecs/. 
Extract sources 
''tar -jxf MPlayer-x.xx.tar.bz2'' 
change directory 
''cd MPlayer-x.xx'' 
use ''configure'' with parameter --enable-bl to start the .bml support 
''./configure --enable-bl'' 
compile 
''make'' 
install 
''make install'' 

The video, that you like to compile, should be available in resolution 32 x 24 or a multiple of it respectively, e.g. 320 x 240. Each resolution can be used, when aspect ratio is correct. Hence, you should choose a nice cutting of a movie to get the right aspect ratio. Furthermore, animations should be encoded with a jpeg codec, because only using this format, black appears as black in .bml format. Using different formats, such as mp4 or Raw, the first scale of gray will be saved as 1 instead of 0. When you finished your movie, it can be compiled.

''mplayer -vo bl:grayscale:file=test.bml -zoom -vf scale=32:24 test.avi''

TroiCade is a small version of the major BlinkenArea project [[TROIAEnglish|TROIA]], that was initiated and supported by the European Union. Its subject was Technologies of Political Control, e.g. non-lethal weapons. Artists, architects, scientists, and engineers from seven countries were involved in working on it. A transportable building was designed in the dimensions 20m long, 12 m wide, and 6m high. The room within the building provided enough space for about 200 people and was tiled with 20096 pixels switchable in 128 greyscales on the walls and on the ceiling. The room became a stage for a live performance and a radioplay that were integrated with the displays inside the room. Furthermore, so called “Armpods” were randomly issued to visitors. These computers, that looked liked oversized USB sticks, were able to communicate with sensing elements attached to the ceiling.

TroiCade is a pixel wall made of twelve so called pixel boxes. Each of them consists of 64 LEDs, that means a resolution 32x24 or 768 LEDs for the entire display. The wall can show greyscaled movies, but it is also possible to play simple games, such as Pacman, Breakout, Pong, and Snake, on TroiCade.

The building, in which project bluebox took place, had been built in 1967 as a construction of large prefabricated concrete slabs. Shortly after the German Reunification, all inhabitants started to move out during the year 1990. Almost each of them left behind a nice lamp in his or her flat. Because they look like unidentified flying objects, they are nicknamed „UFO lamp“. Since the end of the project bluebox the removed lamps had been liing around. But in the run-up to HAR, the old lamps went into action again. After cleaning and repairing the lamps, they were arranged as a 3x3 matrix. Now, it is showing the appropriate hacker symbol Glider, which was suggested in 2003 for the first time. It refers the the hacker culture around free software and open source.

== CCLC32 - Chaos Construction Light Controller 32 ==

During What The Hack!, the BlinkenArea was encircled by construction lights. They were blinking all in a tumble, because they were not phased so far. Since HAR, the construction lights are operated by full flashlight support. The Chaos Construction Light Controller 32 provides 32 outputs, which can be connected to e.g. construction lights, when they are rebuilt in a certain way. A serial interface can receive or send CCLC32 data from or to BlinkenOutput. Furthermore, a running light-function is integrated as well.

===blm - Blinkenlights Markup Language===

The [[Blinkenlights_Markup_Language_English|Blinkenlights Markup Language]] has been developed by Project Blinkenlights and has established as state of the art for flashing devices. The resolution for the [[TroiCadeEnglish|TroiCade]] needs to be 32 x 24 pixel. Additionally, 128 scales of grey can be used.
/wiki/Java_(software_platform) Java] and can be used on each operating system with Java runtime environment. On java.com you can get your version (Linux, MacOS X, Windows and Solaris). [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Blimp] can be started as an application, but also online or offline in a web browser ([http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Applet]).

When using a graphic user interface, you can start the jar file by double click, usually. Of course, you can also do it on your console: java -jar Blimp.jar. Using the applet within a browser it starts automatically.

With Blimp, you can now create your own movies or animations and change respectively. Then, you can save it in the .bml file format. Blimp provides some simple painting functions. Furthermore, pictures and sequences can be integrated in standard formats, such as .png, .jpg oder .gif, but you can also prepare your 32 x 24 movie by a graphic programm (which might be not able to export bml files), import it into Blimp and finally save as .bml.

* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/ Blimp Download file (incl. sources)]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Download Blimp]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Start Blimp in your browser]

===Scroller Perlscript===

Pictures, which are oversized for the TroiCade, can be converted into a movie, which scrolls over the picture. When it is too high, it scrolls downwards. Pictures, that has a large width, it scrolls from left to the right. The speed can be chosen.

To use the script, you need [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl Perl] (z.B. [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl] - Perl Distribution for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris and Windows) and a programm, that can export pictures into the .pgm format (Portable Gray Map) (e.G. [http://www.gimp.org/ The GIMP] - free graphic programm for Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X and Windows).

The script can be started with the following syntax, when the picture is available in .pgm format (raw):

''perl scroller.pl <pgm-image> <width> <height> <bml-output> [<interval>]''

<pgm-image> = name of the source picture in .pgm format (raw) 
<width> = width of the target animation (for TroiCade: 32) 
<height> = hight of the target animation (bei TroiCade: 24) 
<bml-output> = name of the target animation 
[<interval>] = how long shall a frame of the target animation be displayed (in ms)

Example: ''perl scroller.pl testbild.pgm 32 24 testfilm.bml 120''

* http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/scroller.pl

=== Converting movies in .bml format using MPlayer===

To convert movies available as e.g. avi into .bml format, MPlaer can be used. Unfortunately, you need to acivate this functionality when using standard package from the various Liux distributions. You need to download the sources and compile MPlayer by yourself:
Download sources 
If you would like to use "Binary Codec Packages" you need to download them as well and extract it to /usr/local/lib/codecs/. 
Extract sources 
''tar -jxf MPlayer-x.xx.tar.bz2'' 
change directory 
''cd MPlayer-x.xx'' 
use ''configure'' with parameter --enable-bl to start the .bml support 
''./configure --enable-bl'' 
compile 
''make'' 
install 
''make install'' 

The video, that you like to compile, should be available in resolution 32 x 24 or a multiple of it respectively, e.g. 320 x 240. Each resolution can be used, when aspect ratio is correct. Hence, you should choose a nice cutting of a movie to get the right aspect ratio. Furthermore, animations should be encoded with a jpeg codec, because only using this format, black appears as black in .bml format. Using different formats, such as mp4 or Raw, the first scale of gray will be saved as 1 instead of 0. When you finished your movie, it can be compiled.

 BlinkenArea Movie Contest

* Schicke Deinen Film an contest 'at' blinkenarea.org
* Deadline: 16th August, 2009 at 11am
* Fragen? Schreib uns eine Email!

===blm - Blinkenlights Markup Language===

Die [[Blinkenlights_Markup_Language|Blinkenlights Markup Language]] wurde von der Gruppe Projekt Blinkenlights eingeführt und hat sich für blinkende Anwendungen etabliert. Die Auflösung der Filme für TroiCade muss 32 x 24 Pixel betragen und es können bis zu 128 Graustufen verwendet werden.

===Blimp - BlinkenLights Interactive Movie Program===

Blimp ist in [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(Programmiersprache) Java] geschrieben und somit auf allen Plattformen ausführbar, für die es eine entsprechende Java Laufzeitumgebung gibt. Auf java.com kannst du Versionen für Linux, MacOS X, Windows und Solaris herunterladen. MacOS X Benutzer können über "Software Update" im Apfelmenü ihr Java aktualisieren. [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Blimp] kann lokal als Applikation aber auch online oder offline mit einem Browser ([http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Applet]) verwendet werden.
Bei grafischen Oberflächen kannst du das jar file in der Regel mit einem Doppelklick öffnen. Wenn nicht, kannst Du es mit java -jar Blimp.jar aus einer Konsole (Eingabeaufforderung) starten. Öffnest du es als Applet mit einem Browser, startet es automatisch.

Mit Blimp ist es möglich, Bilder bzw. Animationen zu erstellen oder zu veränden und sie dann z.B. im bml-Format zu speichern. Blimp bietet einige einfache Zeichenfunktionen und Effekte. Außerdem können Bilder und Bildsequenzen in gängigen Formaten wie png, jpg oder gif importiert werden. Du kannst also mit einem Animationsprogramm (was in der Regel kein bml speichern kann) einen 32 x 24 Film erstellen, als Bildsequenz speichern, in Blimp importieren und dann als bml speichern.

* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/ Blimp Downloadverzeichnis (incl. Quellen)]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Blimp herunterladen]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Blimp direkt im Browser starten]

===Scroller Perlscript===

Mit diesem Script können Bilder, die größer als die gewünschte Ziel-Auflösung sind, in einen Film im bml-Format konvertiert werden, der das Bild durchscrollt. Ist das Bild zu hoch, wird es von oben nach unten gescrollt, ist es zu breit, von links nach rechts. Wenn die Ausgangsgrafik zu hoch und zu breit ist, wird im "ZickZack" von oben links nach unten rechts gescrollt. Die Geschwindigkeit ist einstellbar.

Um das Script benutzen zu können, wird [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_(Programmiersprache) Perl] (z.B. [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl] - Perl Distribution für AIX, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris und Windows) und ein Programm, was Bilder im pgm-Format (Portable Gray Map) speichern kann (z.B. [http://www.gimp.org/ The GIMP] - freies Grafikprogramm für Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X und Windows), benötigt.

Wenn das Bild im pgm-Format (raw) vorliegt, kann das Script mit folgender Syntax aufgerufen werden:

''perl scroller.pl <pgm-image> <width> <height> <bml-output> [<interval>]''

<pgm-image> = Name des Quellbildes im pgm-Format (raw) 
<width> = Breite die der Zielfilm haben soll (bei bluebox 98) 
<height> = Höhe die der Zielfilm haben soll (bei bluebox 7) 
<bml-output> = Name unter dem der Zielfilm gespeichert werden soll 
[<interval>] = so lange wird ein Frame des Zielfilmes angezeigt (in ms)

Beispiel: ''perl scroller.pl testbild.pgm 32 24 testfilm.bml 120''

* http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/scroller.pl

===Filme mit MPlayer in das bml-Format konvertieren===

Um Filme z.B. im avi Format in das bml-Format zu bringen, kann MPlayer bemüht werden. Leider ist die Funktion nicht standardmäßig aktiviert. Das bedeutet, wenn Du fertige Pakete benutzt, wie sie von diversen Linux-Distributionen bzw. für MacOS und Windows zum Herunterladen angeboten werden, funktioniert es nicht. Du musst Dir die Quellen laden und MPlayer selbst kompilieren.
MPlayer unter Linux kompilieren:

Quellen herunterladen 
Wenn du die "Binary Codec Packages" benutzen möchtest, musst Du Sie ebenfalls laden und in /usr/local/lib/codecs/ auspacken. 
Sourcen auspacken 
''tar -jxf MPlayer-x.xx.tar.bz2'' 
in das Verzeichnis wechseln 
''cd MPlayer-x.xx'' 
configure mit Parameter --enable-bl aufrufen, um den bml Support einzuschalten 
''./configure --enable-bl'' 
kompilieren 
''make'' 
installieren 
''make install'' 

Das zu konvertierende Video sollte in einer Auflösung vorliegen, die ein Vielfaches von 32 x 24 ist, z.B. 320 x 240. Es können auch andere Auflösungen verwendet werden, aber das Seitenverhältnis muss stimmen, sonst wird es nicht schön aussehen. Du solltest also lieber vorher einen geeigneten Ausschnitt wählen und es so beschneiden, dass das Seitenverhältnis stimmt. Praktisch ist es auch, vorher das Video mit einem Jpeg-Codec zu encoden, da nur in diesem Format Schwarz auch wirklich als Schwarz ins bml Format übersetzt wird. Bei anderen Formaten z.B. mp4 oder Raw wird die erste Graustufe, nicht als 0 sondern als 1 gespeichert. Hast Du nun einen Video mit einer entsprechenden Auflösung, kann es konvertiert werden.

''mplayer -vo bl:grayscale:file=test.bml -zoom -vf scale=32:24 test.avi''

The video, that you like to compile, should be available in resolution 32 x 24 or a multiple of it respectively, e.g. 320 x 240. Each resolution can be used, when aspect ratio is correct. Hence, you should choose a nice cutting of a movie to get the right aspect ratio. Furthermore, animations should be encoded with a jpeg codec, because only using this format, black appears as black in .bml format. Using different formats, such as mp4 or Raw, the first scale of gray will be saved as 1 instead of 0. When you finished your movie, it can be compiled.

 BlinkenArea Movie Contest

===blm - Blinkenlights Markup Language===

The [[Blinkenlights_Markup_LanguageEnglish|Blinkenlights Markup Language]] has been developed by Project Blinkenlights and has established as state of the art for flashing devices. The resolution for the [[TroiCadeEnglish|TroiCade]] needs to be 32 x 24 pixel. Additionally, 128 scales of grey can be used.
/wiki/Java_(software_platform) Java] and can be used on each operating system with Java runtime environment. On java.com you can get your version (Linux, MacOS X, Windows and Solaris). [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Blimp] can be started as an application, but also online or offline in a web browser ([http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Applet]).

When using a graphic user interface, you can start the jar file by double click, usually. Of course, you can also do it on your console: java -jar Blimp.jar. Using the applet within a browser it starts automatically.

With Blimp, you can now create your own movies or animations and change respectively. Then, you can save it in the .bml file format. Blimp provides some simple painting functions. Furthermore, pictures and sequences can be integrated in standard formats, such as .png, .jpg oder .gif, but you can also prepare your 32 x 24 movie by a graphic programm (which might be not able to export bml files), import it into Blimp and finally save as .bml.

* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/ Blimp Download file (incl. sources)]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Download Blimp]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Start Blimp in your browser]

===Scroller Perlscript===

Pictures, which are oversized for the TroiCade, can be converted into a movie, which scrolls over the picture. When it is too high, it scrolls downwards. Pictures, that has a large width, it scrolls from left to the right. The speed can be chosen.

To use the script, you need [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl Perl] (z.B. [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl] - Perl Distribution for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris and Windows) and a programm, that can export pictures into the .pgm format (Portable Gray Map) (e.G. [http://www.gimp.org/ The GIMP] - free graphic programm for Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X and Windows).

The script can be started with the following syntax, when the picture is available in .pgm format (raw):

''perl scroller.pl <pgm-image> <width> <height> <bml-output> [<interval>]''

<pgm-image> = name of the source picture in .pgm format (raw) 
<width> = width of the target animation (for TroiCade: 32) 
<height> = hight of the target animation (bei TroiCade: 24) 
<bml-output> = name of the target animation 
[<interval>] = how long shall a frame of the target animation be displayed (in ms)

Example: ''perl scroller.pl testbild.pgm 32 24 testfilm.bml 120''

* http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/scroller.pl

=== Converting movies in .bml format using MPlayer===

To convert movies available as e.g. avi into .bml format, MPlaer can be used. Unfortunately, you need to acivate this functionality when using standard package from the various Liux distributions. You need to download the sources and compile MPlayer by yourself:
Download sources 
If you would like to use "Binary Codec Packages" you need to download them as well and extract it to /usr/local/lib/codecs/. 
Extract sources 
''tar -jxf MPlayer-x.xx.tar.bz2'' 
change directory 
''cd MPlayer-x.xx'' 
use ''configure'' with parameter --enable-bl to start the .bml support 
''./configure --enable-bl'' 
compile 
''make'' 
install 
''make install'' 

The video, that you like to compile, should be available in resolution 32 x 24 or a multiple of it respectively, e.g. 320 x 240. Each resolution can be used, when aspect ratio is correct. Hence, you should choose a nice cutting of a movie to get the right aspect ratio.

 BlinkenArea Movie Contest

===blm - Blinkenlights Markup Language===

Die [[Blinkenlights_Markup_Language|Blinkenlights Markup Language]] wurde von der Gruppe Projekt Blinkenlights eingeführt und hat sich für blinkende Anwendungen etabliert. Die Auflösung der Filme für TroiCade muss 32 x 24 Pixel betragen und es können bis zu 128 Graustufen verwendet werden.

===Blimp - BlinkenLights Interactive Movie Program===

Blimp ist in [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(Programmiersprache) Java] geschrieben und somit auf allen Plattformen ausführbar, für die es eine entsprechende Java Laufzeitumgebung gibt. Auf java.com kannst du Versionen für Linux, MacOS X, Windows und Solaris herunterladen. MacOS X Benutzer können über "Software Update" im Apfelmenü ihr Java aktualisieren. [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Blimp] kann lokal als Applikation aber auch online oder offline mit einem Browser ([http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Applet]) verwendet werden.
Bei grafischen Oberflächen kannst du das jar file in der Regel mit einem Doppelklick öffnen. Wenn nicht, kannst Du es mit java -jar Blimp.jar aus einer Konsole (Eingabeaufforderung) starten. Öffnest du es als Applet mit einem Browser, startet es automatisch.

Mit Blimp ist es möglich, Bilder bzw. Animationen zu erstellen oder zu veränden und sie dann z.B. im bml-Format zu speichern. Blimp bietet einige einfache Zeichenfunktionen und Effekte. Außerdem können Bilder und Bildsequenzen in gängigen Formaten wie png, jpg oder gif importiert werden. Du kannst also mit einem Animationsprogramm (was in der Regel kein bml speichern kann) einen 32 x 24 Film erstellen, als Bildsequenz speichern, in Blimp importieren und dann als bml speichern.

* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/ Blimp Downloadverzeichnis (incl. Quellen)]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.jar Blimp herunterladen]
* [http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/Blimp/Blimp.html Blimp direkt im Browser starten]

===Scroller Perlscript===

Mit diesem Script können Bilder, die größer als die gewünschte Ziel-Auflösung sind, in einen Film im bml-Format konvertiert werden, der das Bild durchscrollt. Ist das Bild zu hoch, wird es von oben nach unten gescrollt, ist es zu breit, von links nach rechts. Wenn die Ausgangsgrafik zu hoch und zu breit ist, wird im "ZickZack" von oben links nach unten rechts gescrollt. Die Geschwindigkeit ist einstellbar.

Um das Script benutzen zu können, wird [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_(Programmiersprache) Perl] (z.B. [http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ ActivePerl] - Perl Distribution für AIX, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris und Windows) und ein Programm, was Bilder im pgm-Format (Portable Gray Map) speichern kann (z.B. [http://www.gimp.org/ The GIMP] - freies Grafikprogramm für Linux, BSD, Solaris, MacOS X und Windows), benötigt.

Wenn das Bild im pgm-Format (raw) vorliegt, kann das Script mit folgender Syntax aufgerufen werden:

''perl scroller.pl <pgm-image> <width> <height> <bml-output> [<interval>]''

<pgm-image> = Name des Quellbildes im pgm-Format (raw) 
<width> = Breite die der Zielfilm haben soll (bei bluebox 98) 
<height> = Höhe die der Zielfilm haben soll (bei bluebox 7) 
<bml-output> = Name unter dem der Zielfilm gespeichert werden soll 
[<interval>] = so lange wird ein Frame des Zielfilmes angezeigt (in ms)

Beispiel: ''perl scroller.pl testbild.pgm 32 24 testfilm.bml 120''

* http://stefan.blinkenarea.org/scroller.pl

===Filme mit MPlayer in das bml-Format konvertieren===

Um Filme z.B. im avi Format in das bml-Format zu bringen, kann MPlayer bemüht werden. Leider ist die Funktion nicht standardmäßig aktiviert. Das bedeutet, wenn Du fertige Pakete benutzt, wie sie von diversen Linux-Distributionen bzw. für MacOS und Windows zum Herunterladen angeboten werden, funktioniert es nicht. Du musst Dir die Quellen laden und MPlayer selbst kompilieren.
MPlayer unter Linux kompilieren:

Quellen herunterladen 
Wenn du die "Binary Codec Packages" benutzen möchtest, musst Du Sie ebenfalls laden und in /usr/local/lib/codecs/ auspacken. 
Sourcen auspacken 
''tar -jxf MPlayer-x.xx.tar.bz2'' 
in das Verzeichnis wechseln 
''cd MPlayer-x.xx'' 
configure mit Parameter --enable-bl aufrufen, um den bml Support einzuschalten 
''./configure --enable-bl'' 
kompilieren 
''make'' 
installieren 
''make install'' 

Das zu konvertierende Video sollte in einer Auflösung vorliegen, die ein Vielfaches von 32 x 24 ist, z.B. 320 x 240. Es können auch andere Auflösungen verwendet werden, aber das Seitenverhältnis muss stimmen, sonst wird es nicht schön aussehen. Du solltest also lieber vorher einen geeigneten Ausschnitt wählen und es so beschneiden, dass das Seitenverhältnis stimmt. Praktisch ist es auch, vorher das Video mit einem Jpeg-Codec zu encoden, da nur in diesem Format Schwarz auch wirklich als Schwarz ins bml Format übersetzt wird. Bei anderen Formaten z.B. mp4 oder Raw wird die erste Graustufe, nicht als 0 sondern als 1 gespeichert. Hast Du nun einen Video mit einer entsprechenden Auflösung, kann es konvertiert werden.

''Juliane & ST: [[https://har2009.org/program/events/130.en.html beautifulism & [de]light]] (Donnerstag, 16 Uhr)''

Celebrating the 5th anniversary of the founding of the BlinkenArea last year, it is now time to start for the future of researching and operating flashlights. The new meme of beautifulism & [de]light will lead us to the next generation of BlinkenArea projects. The lecture is intended to introduce the BlinkenArea, a project group of people who are interested in computers and electronics and in a creative handling of both of it. In the meantime, more than 60 hard- and software projects have been developed. The group grows constantly and the number of small and big projects rises as well. After the great performance at the Chaos Communication Camp 2003 and the amazing Twinkeldorpje at What The Hack! in 2005 we are ready for the next step in research and operation of flashing lights. We are going to define a new meme – beautifulism & [de]light.

Furthermore, we would like to recapitulate and showcase the main BlinkenArea project: display building bluebox. It turned an abandoned building constructed by using precast concrete slabs in the centre of Magdeburg (Germany) into an interactive computer display. The modification was inspired by similar projects, as Blinkenlights. Each of the 686 windows became a single pixel of the huge computerized screen by means of a foil and an usual halogen reflector lamp. Pictures and movies have been shown on the front of the building and everybody was able to play the simple games Pong, Pacman and Symmetris (kind of Tetris) on the huge computerised screen by calling a number via a (mobile) phone. In addition to that, the phone number could be used to start own movies using a code obtained by sending in the created movies via email.

Of course, we would also like to present our current projects started in 2009 and the development of our social engagement on which we set our sights as well. The attention is focussed on supporting children, fighting against poverty and spreading education. In the end of the lecture, we are going to share our ideas about upcoming projects and the future of flashlights.
