Etch-a-sketch using Flash and Arduino

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Well, I had nothing much better to do today, so after sorting out my previous problems with Arduino and Flash, I thought i’d connect 2 potentiometers to the Arduino board, and make….. Yezzer-sketch!

Here’s the on-screen result:

I need to get some better potentiometers, these are pretty rubbish.

Yey for making … stuff! :D

I’ve been insanely busy at work recently, working on a huge Flash game for Channel 4. I’ve kept schtum about it all, with only a few hints to what’s been going on to the outside world.

On the 11th Feb, Channel 4 released a preview of Episode 1 to the world, and it’s been picked up by the blogosphere. My favourite moments so far have been seeing my dead body on the front page of Kotaku, and seeing my fat arse on the front page of my favourite site BoingBoing.

To my fellow programming friends, it’s all ActionScript 3, and no, I didn’t do the entire thing by myself ;)

Be warned, there’s a few bugs in this *preview* release. Oh, and there’s 4 more episodes to come in the very near future.

To show the grandkids, when i’m grey and old:
