On the 23th of July, starting at 14:00 there will be a DIY Workshop at the Parque Del Sol 08 Festival in St. Pölten, Austria. Sign up here to join and build your own Tagtool Mini. Materials cost about 60 Euros.
From Andy Woods, who built himself a real beauty of a Tagtool Mini:
I am an artist living in East Tennessee, in the US. I just wanted to thank you for making the tagtool open source and enabling people like me to take art to new levels and places. Using your tutorials I was able to build a Tagtool of my own an I have attached a couple of photos of it.
Before this project I had ZERO electronics experience, but because of your inspiration I have learned a lot. Thank You!
When Kate visited us to build herself a Tagtool Mini, we took pictures and wrote up a tutorial.
Enjoy, and send us pictures if you make one!
We published a step-by-step guide on how to build your own Tagtool Suitcase on Instructables.com - check it out.
Workshop @ Planet Prozess, Berlin
Development of the Version 2 of the Tagtool Flightcase is progressing… here are some schematics:
Total Cost: around 60 Euros. Get yourself a used Wacom and you’re ready to roll.
Some more progress both on the Software- and Hardware side…
We are now using the open-source physical computing platform Arduino to read out the sliders and pushbutton and get the data into the Tagtool Kit software. This is both cheaper and gives us higher resolution data than the Midi-based solution we were using so far.
The implementation of the OSC functionality is progressing well and the Listener node is functional.
The latest source code and the Arduino program will be available for download soon!
