yesterday was the first day at white room that i did a lot of testing. the lasers were kinda kinky to do so i will do em when i have a tutor with me, Olli. but i got the system to trigger the laser done via these jumping pads/mats. so the idea is evolving. i also did testing with photoresistor triggering on basic stamp2 and max msp jitter. i didnt get it running as i wanted but following days it will come up. got a little frustrated about it but i think that its also because i dont have the right kinda USB to RS323 adapter and it seems to work a little different than the one that i had before, keyspan usa19. oh jeah, i also noticed that the one RS323 that im using now DONT WORK on OS X panther!!! so i did boot to tiger since im having both. after that i was afraid that now my max msp doesnt work.. but it did and i got the system running.
also schools G4 powermac is up and running. there was an issue that no one remebers the password, but i got in my head and now its also a pic help
i gathered all the stuff and made little thinking with placement of different things and i think it is working well. placed a large screen tv on front on the only "window" of the room, screen fronting out side and covering the class with "electric" blue plexi class and i will cut the logo to it. the idea seems nice.
i brought from my shack couple of 7" tv screens and un-done BNC adapters too. i will solder them today. also what is nice, a programmable led display, but i dont know yet how will i use it. the beemer picture was tested too and it was a little too small for the size of the room, but its ok. i keep on working on that so it will have more space.
i placed the rack of 16 camera survailence system, a VHS player/recorder( 2 scart sources, nice) and a my own built MIDI to RELAY box that has 4x 12w and 4x bigger 32w outputs to control E27 lightbulb matrixes.
im having a lot of material to use on the beemer screen and the looked pretty nice. one that i noticed is that the lighting when the beemer is on, is quite powerfull and i think thats not good for so small space....ill have a motor to it to cover so of the scenes on the show time.. and the motor is a mechano motor with building blok for the same product :)

talk to ya soon
