2016-05-13 (F) Weekly Summary

This week was not entirely recording. In fact, the most interesting event was last Saturday when I attended an IOT hack day run by IOT Fuse. I was on a team with Angeliki Beyko as the captain and a friend of Angeliki’s. We came in first! Oddly enough the event happened just down the street from me, only eight minutes by car, in a maker space called Leonardo’s Basement. It was super awesome so I gave a small donation to their scholarship fund.

Our project was ChoreBot which recorded positive and negative behaviors of a child and kept a running total. At the end of a week the parent/guardian could decide if rewards or discipline were appropriate. The innards included a Raspberry Pi 2 with 7” video screen and a pair of Colorduinos to make a face. The screen was a nice addition but the emoji-like facial expressions brought more life to the slinky-armed robot than anything. Go to the Saturday journal post to see more pictures and read a little more about ChoreBot.

The rest of the week saw lots of recording which was becoming a grind but highly productive. A small hint was dropped yesterday about a new recoding project being done simultaneously. Here’s another clue, it has nothing to do with the book.
