Chaodependant

I'm going to use this post to collect photos and media from Kinetica 2010. To start with, here's Parag's Flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pkmital/sets/72157623393186086/

Thanks to the kindness of TINT, we're exhibiting both Chaodependant (by me, Owen Green and Agelos Papdakis) and Memory (by Parag Mital and Agelos Papadakis) at the Kinetica art fair in London.

ChaoDependant installed Final days of testing, and doesn't everything all seem to go wrong at the end!

It turned out that when the high power LEDs are running, they drag the supply voltage down by about 0.2V. Which would normally be OK, but the Hall sensors are giving voltages in the mV range, so the changing supply voltage gives a bigger signal than the actual magnetic signal.

Damn.

We tried a bunch of things, mostly involving big capacitors, but nothing worked really well.
