======  Quadricone model, Buhne A, Zurich ======

The Quadricone modela was produced for and presented at a research symposium 'Stage digital – a scenographic expedition', organised by SINLAB and ZHDK at Bühne A in Zurich, in November 2012. It introduced more formal complexity, reacting to any four wireless networks that were active in the space.

===== technical details =====

set of frames with motors + stretchable fabric attached to a wooden board

==== hardware ====

  * the structure:
         - particle board 1.6mm, 50x100cm
         - 4 aluminium frames made from a 10x22mm profile, 50x25cm
         - 4 HiTEC ultra torque servo motors, {{http://www.servocity.com/html/hs-645mg_ultra_torque.html|HS-645MG  }}

==== software ====

  * aircrack-ng, scanning network traffic (looks up the traffic on all available networks, writes a dump to a .csv file)
  * [[Multiple-Serial-Servo-Control]] [[http://principialabs.com/arduino-python-4-axis-servo-control/|multiple servo control prinicipialabs]] firmware for the Arduino, with the associated servo.py library
  * python script [[quadricone-zurich|quadricone.py]], reads the .csv file, finds four most active networks and calculates the position of motors based on the difference in the number of packets from the previous calculation

 * software [[quadricone-software|development]]
