Some days ago I was looking for a temperature monitoring solution for some rooms and 19"-racks at the university. The Arexx TL-500 looked promising and I bought it. Unfortunately there are only Windows drivers available. But some people already analyzed the communication protocol and hacked a simple version of a linux driver: http://www.algorithm-forge.com/techblog/2010/01/linux-usb-driver-for-the-arexx-tl-500-–-part-ii/ There's even a small ...
More »processing | poor man’s evolution
This is an example from my generative design class of the digi-pro project. Genetic or evolutionary approaches are used to solve a wide range of problems with the computer. Many algorithms try to reproduce the mechanism of natural evolution as close as possible. They produce generations of slightly mutated information (DNA), combine the attributes of individuals, ...
More »processing | Koch-curve
This is another small demo from my generative design class of the digi-pro project. It draws a Koch curve using a recursive algorithm at variable depth. The horizontal mouse position is used for the depth value. By pressing the p-key you may toggle the drawing of small point markers. The c-key will export the points ...
More »processing | greatest common divisor
This is a small demo from my generative design class of the digi-pro project. It uses the euklidean algorithm to compute the greatest common divisor (GCD, GGT in german ) of two numbers. The mouse position (x, y) is used for the numbers. Press the keys 1, 2 or 3 to get different visualization methods ...

More »Triangle | 1.0
The triangulation module for python based on Jonathan Richard Shewchuk's program Triangle was updated. It should work with recent versions of python 2.x now.
More »XMarshaL | 1.0
My pickling/marshalling module for python was updated to work with recent python 2.x installations.
More »ncDataReader2 | 2.2.0
A new release of ncDataReader2 is out. Changes include: switched from autoconf to cmake tested to compile on Linux, Windows and MacOS the easy API (EA) was completed EA works now with Modelica (Dymola): a weather file reader was implemented and tested with the modelica library FluidFlow new documentation in english support for netCDF attributes was completed
More »processing | digi-pro
Some processing sketches will be shown here in the future. Starting with the 'generative design'-workshop of the 'digi-pro'-project I did some exercises in processing for my students.
More »websitebaker 2 wordpress
The move from websitebaker to wordpress is done for this website. WSB was a good choice, but with wordpress I hope to get my activities documented in an easier way. Most content from the old website is converted, more will follow. I hope to find the time to push SimuVis a little more.
