The Simplest Network
The most basic network is a one-to-one connection between two
objects. This chapter covers the details of two-way communication,
beginning with the characteristics that have to be agreed upon in
advance. You'll learn about some of the logistical elements of network
communications: data protocols, flow control, and addressing. You'll
practice all of this by building two examples using one-to-one serial
communication between a microcontroller and a personal computer.
You'll also learn about modem communications and how you can
replace the cable connecting the two with Bluetooth radios.
Joo youn Paek's Zipper Orchestra (2006)
This is a musical installation that lets you control video and music using zippers. The zippers are wired to a micro-
controller using conductive thread, and the microcontroller communicates serially with a multimedia computer that
drives the playback of the zipper movies and sounds as you zip.
