Ohm Sweet Ohm

[Jen Strover]

Many of you will have seen me working on a cross-stitched resistor chart to hang in the space. Good news, it's finally finished! Picture here:

The piece is just under A4 size. Would anyone like to make a frame for it? Email me directly if you're interested.

Thanks,

Jen.

Thats BRILLIANT!

Amazing!!

[April Staines]

We should print the frame using conductive plastic...  apparently its quite resistive

That's frickin' AWESOME

Do you take orders?

Post a blog post or something and I'd bet somebody like Adafruit would publicize how awesome you are :)

Blogs you say?!?! http://www.hackmelbourne.org/blog/

Although I don't know if Adafruit would really make a big deal of their own design: http://adafruit.com/products/855. Maybe.

Thanks for the compliments everyone *blush*

Luke/Bob - I'd be happy to do a post for the CCHS blog.  How do I get posting rights?

Joshua - It''s not really practical to take orders since a large piece like this takes literally months to complete.  Also, I'd get bored churning out several of the same pattern :p

I've been so looking forward to seeing this craft-work being found a
place of honor on the wall.

I'd suggest that the frame should have a small numeric display and a
place where you can place a resistor, push a button (which momentarily
powers up a small Arduino) and displays the resistor value.

Jen,

Firstly congratulations on completing an amazing work.  

I'm guessing you want it to stand as-is, in its completed awesomeness, but if you did want to do as Andy suggested and extend it, I think I know how it could be done...   

You could stitch over the resistor legs using conductive thread, to use as electrodes for reading a real resistor.   Behind the artwork/incorporated into the frame you could use a hacked autoranging RS232 multimeter - the serial stream is in fact just the bit pattern of the LCD segments, repeated over and over, so it would be easy to decode into the individual digits, and the decimal point position and kohm/Mohm segments give you the multiplier.   From the decoding you could illuminate each box, using a bright white led each stitched digit box, depending on the resistance.   Hopefully a bright white led would be bright enough to see the illuminated box from the front.   I have some code for extracting the multimeter stream if you're interested.  It could of course be mocked up separately from the artwork until proven... 

regards

Lachlan

This idea is 10 kinds of awesome.

Maybe 11.
