I have been thinking about a chat I had with Chris about a month ago where we talked about ways you could digitise analogue data using a bespoke device. A comedy ‘Big Red Button’ came up as a concept of something you hit every time something happens in order to log that event. I have been looking into Arduino over the Xmas break and looking into ways to accomplish this. Gianni Corino, a lecturer and digital artist with iDAT complete a project called Quixote in which he made a puppet with a GPS unit and a GPRS transmitter that sent data to a server. Now this is kinda what I am looking to do and I am currently trying to get a meeting with him to have a chat. I’ve also found various pre built Arduino boards with GPRS and bluetooth (and also here) connectivity built in. I like the idea of the bluetooth device, but the problem will be getting it to transmit data to a server where it can be logged.
