You know, I’m addicted to rotating knobs. And this is my new version. This one works over Wifi. So it works for desktop and mobile, native and Adobe Air. It is build with an Arduino Leonardo, a RedFly Wifi Shield and a ProtoShield with 10 buttons, 1 rotary encoder and 3 LEDs.
On the software side I’m using the OSC protocol over UDP which is very fast and responsive.

Adobe AIR Gyroscope Native Extension with Euler Angles (roll, pitch, yaw) for iOS
UPDATE: I have released the extension including source on google code with some changes.
Euler Gyroscope ANE on Google Code
I baked my very first AIR iOS Native Extension. It’s just an adapted version of this version from Adobe. Because in my opinion the data of radians per second aren’t really good to handle. So I looked into Apples API documentation and found out that there are Euler Angles in the CMMotionManager CMDeviceMotion classes. So I just changed a few lines in the Objective-C Code. I learned much from this tutorial Native Extionsion for Adobe AIR and iOS 101 by Liquid Photo
NSString *myStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f&%f&%f&%f&%f&%f", rotate.x, rotate.y, rotate.z, motionManager.deviceMotion.attitude.roll, motionManager.deviceMotion.attitude.pitch, motionManager.deviceMotion.attitude.yaw]; [motionManager startDeviceMotionUpdates]; motionManager.deviceMotionUpdateInterval = 0;
And added these three parameters roll, pitch and yaw to the Actionscript Gyroscope Event.
new GyroscopeEvent(GyroscopeEvent.UPDATE, _x, _y, _z, _roll, _pitch, _yaw)

Build an iPad app in a few hours.
The challenge:
„We need a small iPad app. Just four buttons, every button opens a video. Today!“
I thought, „OK“. I had only a freshly installed Mac and an Apple developer account.

Encode and deliver MP4 Video for Flash, iPhone, iPad, Android, Quicktime with timeshift possibility
A big challenge was to find a solution to encode and deliver videos for as much platforms as possible. The only thing that was clear I had to use mpeg4 for max. compatibility.

Simulations of medical devices on touch devices, multi-screen publishing (Desktop, iPhone, iPad, Android …)
At innovation mecom, where I’m employed, we developed a simulation for training and marketing of a Dräger NIV ventilator called Carina®. It’s a small handy device to ventilate patients in hospitals. This Flash AS3 simulation reproduces all functions of the real device. So it is possible to get a real good impression of it even without using a real device.
UPDATE: The iPhone Version is online.
The online version of this trainer can be found here.
I did the coding of this simulation and I thought it would be an amazing experience to use this on an iPhone or another touch device.
