No way, PC2 has started

Yep it's there PC2 started. PC2 wasn't actually on my lists of courses back in Belgium, but when I found out we could change some subjects to a somewhat higher level, I took the opportunity. PC2 gave me a real good challenge of working with electronics and arduino boards what really brings me into the situation of working out some prototypes into the real world and not on the conceptual level in the way of a presentation on screen.

On monday we had our first lecture with an introduction explaining us the "theme" we are going to work with. Later on they gave an introduction into DMX. DMX can be seen as a "language" to steer lots of different things with only one signal. It can do that with the use of bitfrequenties over the line. In total it can steer 512 "channels" and is mostly used in lighting environments. One thing that I was surprised they didn't mention and I found out on wikipedia is that you can't use it when life situations are at roll because it's doesn't give controll feedback. An important side note if you ask me.

So this afternoon is going to be the first work for me on an Arduino board we see what it gives :)
