From a shiny idea to a blinking building
The BlinkenArea is a project group of people who developed more than 60 hard- and software projects. Apart from this, money is collected which flows into public welfare. The number of small and big projects rises and especially the pixel room TROIA as well as the display front bluebox are worth mentioning.
We were able to realise these projects only by a free operating system with open interfaces described in detail, the possibility to implement own drivers as well as to define formats and protocols. The lecture shall give an overview of the role Linux plays during the projects.
Projects
We are allowed to showcast a lot of BlinkenArea projects during the event. ArcadeMaxi, LittleLights, TroiCade, the TROIA_Prototype and the PixelCurtain will be spread all over the building an the smaller projects can be seen at our stand at Live area (in German).
Report
Friday, Juliane
In the morning, I passed a test about microelectromechanical systems and mechanical engineering design. After that, I met ST, stefan and Berty in the building next door where the event will take place. They had already started to build up the projects. Everything was very well prepared on the part of the organisers. Thus, we were able to focus on the projects and our stand. TroiCade took up most of the time and we finished at about 2300.
