Packet Routing @ Das Netz

Interactive exhibit at “Das Netz” in the “Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin” – cooperation with Felix Scharstein This device shows a network of 18 nodes and 27 edges that form a model of the internet. Messages can be send betweeen 4 terminals. These messages are split into data packets that are reassembled at the receiving terminal. The routing…


Fiber Optic Communication @ Das Netz

Interactive exhibit at “Das Netz” in the “Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin” – cooperation with Felix Scharstein This device demonstrates data transmission over fiber optical cables. The sender unit emits light impulses when one of the buttons (0 or 1) is pressed. By sending eight bits a character is transmitted (ASCII code). A receiver unit shows the bits, the…


Visualize Packet Routing with FlipDots

Another exhibit for the Berlin Museum of Technolgy will be a visualization of packet routing in networks. A large wall will show a network of nodes and edges, where the connections (edges) are formed by lines of FlipDots. When the visitors send data over the network there will be a lot of optical and acoustical feedback. 🙂   We plan to…


PSoC 4 – an exciting low-cost platform

I started using microcontrollers with the Arduino / ATMega platforms because of the simple IDE and the large amount of additional material available. Now I discovered a new platform and started building projects on it. Its the PSoC 4 family made by Cypress. You get a prototyping board with an ARM processor and everything you need…
