The illustrated Walkthrough of PCB Production shows how I do it in my electronics lab since 2007. I heard of & tried the toner method years ago – but for a long time was less successful in reliably producing nice quality PCBs. I tried photo paper, telephone book paper, color pages of magazines, dextrin covered paper, the various catalogs of  electronic supply companies. I tried different temperatures of the hot iron, higher & lower pressure. I tried different board cleaning methods, different chemicals, until I could cut “the chemicals” down to the etching agent & maybe isopropyl alcohol (a cheap vodka would do as well).  Of the etchants I tried two: Ferrum-III-chloride  (FeCl3) & sodium persulphate (NaS2O8) but want to try etching with copper-II-chloride (CuCl2) as an e-friendly closed cycle alternative. Now here is my recipe at the moment:

My Website´s logo was inspired by a traffic sign I saw on the Belgian Autobahn some years ago. This little graphic adventure is some vectorgraphic work I did about signs for ice, frost & snow flakes & permutations thereof. If the “real” Belgian ice warning sign looks like I recall it, I could not verify despite devoting some effort to searching for it.

The long awaited reader reader for the CTM 2010 workshop, includes schematics & layouts of the shown circuits:

Here I made a quite useful table of SMD (SMT) component sizes:

Typical SMD sizes

This is a short intro handout for successful circuitbending (auf deutsch) :

This is the handout from a workshop in xxxxx, Berlin, a VGA-monitor as wave display:

In summer 2009 I had a discussion with a friend of mine Andrzej Wróblewski aka Bohomaz, stencil artist, about vector based pattern generation. This inspired me to do some visual studies in spirographics. Here you find some full resolution pdf – especially the first is a bit heavy in pdf rendering – but hey, it is A3 and easily can be printed out in A0 (all are Creative Commons 3.0 BY-NC-SA licensed):

TOB-Project Timeline

TOB project

TOB – Transmitting Object Behaviors

arrow-downTOB is an open project of the Berlin electronic artist red arrowJo FRGMNT Grys – over time there have been numerous members, collaborators & associates. Just to mention: Seamus O´Donnell, Kaspar König, Martin Kuentz, Jeremy Clarke & others.

The TOB production idea is derived from concepts of occupation of spaces and communication technologies and recycling/re-using materials:

1st level:- the input in micro-local space (diy vibrational microphones, kids toys, the guts of a videogame, fm receivers) is taking instruments, inner sounds of bicycles, selfmade electronic devices, feedbacks.

2nd level:- radio p.a. is supplying the next ambience with amplified acoustic events.

3rd level:- fm transmitters supply the wider ambience & are used for feedback.

4th level:- sometimes we transmit into global space via the internet.

The erroneous nature of all these communication ways producing interference, hiss, noises, hums – is part of the game.
