So you’ve taken down the Christmas lights, and aren’t sure what to do with them till next year. Come along to an Interactive Lighting workshop, organised by Tinker.it!

Led by CTO Massimo Banzi and Nick Weldin and supported by Arup this workshop will be focused on looking at ways to control light in different creative contexts, and getting participants to get a practical introduction to how to do that using an Arduino with a DMX shield.

Participants will get the chance to write code for and try it out on the Forcefield installation in the ARUP gallery.

This is the second event of this type. Check out pictures of the first one.

When?

7th February '09 – 8th February '09 from 10AM to 5PM.

What you will need?

A laptop.

An Arduino (we would recommend Deicimillia or later) with any sensors you want to use.

A DMX shield for the Arduino for you to keep.
DMX devices to try out during the workshop.
