			'''Software + Hardware Hacking, let's dig deep into the [http://sifteo.com Sifteo cubes]'''


			== What? ==

			An amazing explanation by [http://scanlime.org Micah] of sifteo's insane design hacks is on
			[http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2012/12/05/how-we-built-a-super-nintendo-out-of-a-wireless-keyboard-sifteo-sifteo/ adafruit blog].

			But as a quick intro, Sifteo cubes can be seen as the best hackable platform, here is a summary of what they have:
			* an accelerometer
			* a touch screen (128x128)
			* 4 proximity sensors (to recognize other cubes touching their 4 sides)

			They are wirelessly connected to a base with:
			* an STM32 (cortex M3)
			* a mono speaker
			* a usb connection to log anything to a computer

			The base can communicate with up to 12 cubes (maybe 24 if you ask nicely).

			It can be programmed with a simple and intuitive C++ API, check out the [https://developers.sifteo.com/docs SDK].


			== When? ==

			At least during the noisebridge [[30c3]] - to be define more accurately...

			...it might lead to a hackathon with Sifteo prizes soon too.


			== Hack ideas ==

			Here are a few examples of that could be done during these sessions:
			* '''magic light juggle''': acceleration change the color/brightness and the cubes disappear in the air
			* '''music & light''': implement a BPM counter to blink color screens on the music rythme by listening to the vibrations sensed by accelerometer (like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ys1d_02OjXI here])
			* '''siftephone in''': listen to a smartphone vibrations with Sifteo's accelerometer (like above)
			* '''siftephone out''': talk to a smartphone using sound with audio system such as [http://chirp.io chirp.io] (a 1st proof of concept can be found [http://github.com/honnet/siftone here])
			* '''midi controller''': play music using the cubes as midi instruments with [http://ableton.com Ableton] or [http://renoise.com Renoise] (a 1st proof of concept can be found [http://github.com/honnet/noon here])
			* '''internet of things''': control anything remotely using python to forward Sifteo logs to an email or a server such as [http://heroku.com heroku] or [http://parse.com parse.com]
			* '''turn up the volume!''': follow this awesome [http://www.instructables.com/id/Plug-it-In-How-to-Hack-Your-Sifteo-Base-for-Bigge/?ALLSTEPS instructable]!
			* '''UART communication''': simple hacks involving microcontrollers can be tried too but the project must be worth it ;p (it's a bit more complicated)


			== Warning! ==

			'''If interested, please don't just show up, your participation/preparation is important:'''
			* [[User:Cedric\|contact me]] in advance to bring more cubes
			* download the SDK: https://developers.sifteo.com/download
			* start to play with the examples in the free simulator in the [https://developers.sifteo.com/docs SDK]
