ZapWizard's Media PC -Project on hold

You mean those Bass Shaker things?

excellent!

I used to use the Azltec Lansing ACS33, they look puny but I turned the volume all the way up then walked up 3 flights of stairs and i could still hear them

 

Congratulations!
I knew you would win the contest
So hopefully we will get new updates on the MediaPC soon?!

 

I missed the show, but i checked the site to see you won. Congrats! I'm glad i was able to watch it be built from the ground up.

 

Please keep all congrats post in here:

Yes there will be some updates as soon as I get skilled at using the laser cutter.
(I am sure there are some cool tricks it can do that arn't in the manual)

 

wow, i almost thought you'd done somthing to the mediapc then

lazer cutting your panels as we speak i'd guess

 

I bet you could start a pretty good business with that!

 

I have a feeling this thread is going to start getting alot more updates in connection with recent events.

I cant wait!

 

Hey zap, not to be too ot, but you said you like bass right? well i foudn otu about this company that makes a product to make your sofa/chair shake, it's kinda cool, if your into it here's the linky: http://www.thebuttkicker.com/ (no I am not affilated with them, but I ahve one coming to me in maybe a week or so )

Wow thats some crazy s***! Tell us how it works when you get it.

Zap have you worked since your last post on the media PC?? And any ideas on what your gonna do with this lazer cutter!?

 

I am aware of the butt-kicker.
It's a more powerfull version of what I am using.
But I bought mine surplus, but they still get the job done.

I have been doing a little work here and there.
Mostly re-design, getting ready for a "final attack"
But currently I have some other projects both at work and home that have deadlines, and the Media PC keeps taking back seat.
I now have a awsome tool that should help speed things along.

 

soft

is all I can say
you is anotherbeen reading the short versions to your last two big projects here, really original
regarding software you will need, I have found something because I ve been looking into stuff like this a long time:
www.girder.nl
and
http://www.misterhouse.net/
girder is very powerfull on windows and so is misterhouse in adition misterhouse works also on unix like system. the later, mh requiers perl programming and is fairly easy to use but girder combines very powerfull interface, scripting and event model and is really really easy to use once you get the hang of it.
They both provide all you need from x10 to ir devices and so on and both are extendable.
sorry if they were mentioned before
oh...right...both are free for full personal use
looking forward to seeing more work on this project

 

Did you get the one made by Aura?

 

Yes, these:
http://www.allelectronics.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=AST-1B&type=store

only 25w-rms, but I have hooked them up and they shake stuff pretty good.
(I don't have unlimited funds so $35 a pair is a steal to me)

 

can't wait to see more pics of whats coming

 

Great job so far, Zap.

 

My roommate got some of those Aura bass shakers for our living room. They do their job quite nicely.

 

That's going to be awsome

 

Think I'm gonna have to check out some UK suppliers to get me some of those shakers!!?? Trying to get an improved FPS experience!!

BTW, I'm keeping an eye on your great work... keep it up, Zap

 

Are we ever gonna see an update to this thread? I'm really looking forward to seeing what u do next, Zap. Keep up the outstanding work.

 

Its pretty hard to find a UK supplier of the bass shakers! I have been trying for ages. I think that your best bet is to contact jaharrow@NOSPAMpacbell.net. He will supply them to the UK even though shipping is pretty pricey!
