Tinderbox (2009) Still in the development stages, Tinderbox is an open-source hardware and software platform built upon the Arduino physical computing platform aimed at advancing the state of the transmission arts. Embedded computing, highly integrated radio receivers and transmitters coupled with a thriving DIY community can re-imagine the radio as a tool for free expression rather than just a consumer commodity.Tinderbox offers a turn-key solution to micropower FM broadcasting providing flexibility and ease of use by artists and makers alike. Software integration with popular media arts applications such as Processing, Max/MSP and Pure Data will allow for external control, allowing users to compose with radio in real-time. Tinderbox's modular design approach will also enable extended functionality through snap-on devices such as multiple receivers for the AM/SW/LW/WB bands, MP3 players, touchscreens, batteries...or whatever you can dream up.
