[hackerspaces] Next PiXXXeL 12 May 15:00-20:00 :: Milkymist!

[Jaromil]

Hey ho! all those hackers close to Amsterdam next month, you are all
invited to the next …

PiXXXeL
   made in Am★dam (and beyond…)

… on 12 May 15:00 - 22:00 @ NIMk.nl hacking into

Milkymist – Open Hardware VJ Station

	  http://pixxxel.net/milkymist-open-hardware-vj-station

   After years of passionate and engaging development, the first model
   of a Milkymist VJ station is finally ready to be shown and tried by
   the public!

   This time at PiXXXeL we’ll host a visit of LeKernel in person, the
   infatiguable Milkymist developer best known for running day long
   workshops of FPGA programming all over the World, mesmerizing
   audiences of geeks with the psychedelic outputs of his small
   devices. 

   So the next PiXXXeL will be on 12 May @ NIMk: we will start at
   15:00 as usual, when LeKernel will introduce us with a short
   presentation of the latest version of Milkymist, then we’ll have a
   worksop on how to operate and customize the device, to produce some
   funky setups that we will use later on during the evening in a
   small Milkymist party, starting at 20:00 and running until 22:00,
   to which everyone is invited.

   It will be quite an intense day, bring your own cameras and video
   sources to feed into Milkymist!

   From a technical point of view Milkymist has a lot of potential for
   customization into your own video manipulation projects, being an 100%
   open source system-on-chip (SoC) whose design was written in Verilog
   HDL, so one can extend it with his/her own logic blocks. Under the hood
   of this open-hardware device there is a pulsating LatticeMico32
   processor core, which is capable of executing complex, fully-fledged
   software (including nommu Linux) and comes with an extensive set of
   custom-built peripherals and graphics accelerators.
