Images for Hackaday Event

A week from today I will be speaking on the merits of the Propeller's multi-core architecture.

-- http://hackaday.com/2014/09/17/hackadays-10th-the-celebration-is-imminent/

To be clear, I'm advocating for multi-core, not against interrupts. To spice up my discussion I will have some visuals, and would love to include projects from the community that are outside my own norm (lighting and entertainment). If you have a nice, hi-res image that you'll allow me to share, I will do so will full attribution. Please send any images and a short description to my Gmail account: jon dot mcphalen at gmail dot com.

If you can get images to me by Wednesday, that will give me Thursday and Friday to organize.

Thanks!

I don't know if this fits or not, but the Propeller Powered Adafruit 32x16xRGB array driver might be a good example...

They came to me because they wanted to demo better graphics that can be done with single-core Arduino.
The result is a full 24-bit RGB driver that is flicker free on up to 3 panels with text and bitmap from SD support.
It can also drive 6-panels at reduced color depth.

There are several pics and videos on the web already for this.

If you could send me an offline note about what you did, that would be helpful. It kind of fits in with lighting that I do a lot of. I will be wearing my DEFCON badge with IronMac shield to show of WS2812 control -- in fact, part of my conversation will be how the Propeller makes controlling smart RGB strings so much easier than with more traditional architectures.

I'm looking for hi-res images; not sure what AV support we'll have, so I'd rather have more resolution than I need.

Jon, I sent you an email with hi-res images of two projects that appeared on the Hackaday web site.

I saw them, thank you.

Not sure if it works, but does use a lot of cores, my reverse geocache project: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php/118830-Propeller-Based-Reverse-Geo-Cache-Birthday-Present-Project?highlight=reverse+geocache
