As part of the ongoing development required for the various electronic based Art pieces that I develop, I’ve designed and constructed a number of “circuit boards”. These are used to write and fine tune the necessary “sketches” and prototypes which will ultimately drive the final pieces.

The board shown above (based on the simplest Arduino similar to this one) is used for creating LED lighting sequences. The three “momentary” push button switches allow the user to select one of three pre-programmed sequences. Read more

This board is a home made version of the popular 1970′s ”Simon” computer game. It’s proved to be a very handy learning environment as is involves many of the types of functions I like to incorporate into my paintings.

This one is used to develop “LCD” based programs. In this prototype, the program cycles an RGB LED through each of the three colours, Red, Blue and Green. The current LED colour is also displayed on the LCD.

For sound based concepts, I use this board which includes a small “piezo” speaker, 10 BAR LED display and three buttons for “track” selection.
