I’ve just switched the eframe project over to using the extremely nifty pyftpdlib; so much nicer now! The eframe protocol still seems a little flakey in that the eframe seems to just "give up" quite frequently. I obviously still have some subtlety to find, but the bulk of the work is done. I’m feeling loadsContinue reading “eframe ftp server”

Another short test of the binaural setup, mainly for practice at putting it on quickly and to test my new earclips. This time its the beltane drummers on the mound; I’m static, but they’re walking past us. Nicola is correct in that the recordings really need a story ("andrew goes exploring" 🙂 to be ofContinue reading “Binaural test 2: Beltane drummers”

Have a look at this! They show an XBee mesh network device at some point later; not sure if its actually used as a wireless device to control the penguins or something else though…

Got the eframe’s RSS upload working now – there are two utils: encoderss.py – This converts a textual RSS feedlist (see samplerssfeeds.txt) into the binary PF110.RSS file which is uploaded to the eframe. transferrss.py – This commands the eframe to transfer the above binary file from your local FTP server. The eframe actually accesses theContinue reading “eframe RSS working”

I’ve just uploaded the latest code to code.google.com. It is still incomplete, and I’ve discovered several annoyances with the thing: You must send a broadcast message to locate the eframes; you can’t simply connect directly to the frame’s IP. If you don’t then the frame doesn’t receive its FTP port properly after a total powerContinue reading “bt eframe progress”

Here’s what I recorded the previous post with: So that consists of: Middle: 80Gb Ipod Left: Belkin TuneTalk stereo ipod recording addon thing Bottom: Mic preamp Top left: binaural headset I bought Top right: binaural headset I made (old earbuds + 2 electret microphones) Middle: Headphone restraint. The binaural headset I made actually works justContinue reading “Binaural rig”

Ladies and gentlemen, experience the thrills of three minutes of the way home (4Mb mp3) in full binaural surround sound. Warning: may not actually be very interesting, as I’m only just getting going again 🙂 Oh, and listen with headphones.

I held off on the firmware dumping for a day or so and concentrated on the network protocol. I’ve implemented the protocol basics in python and can now search for frames, and read the storage and system statuses. I’ve just created an "adqmisc" google code project to keep miscellaneous small projects in, so the current sourceContinue reading “BT Eframe 1000 progress”
