This post is mostly for the button project. So, this software
Processing can record audio, do stuff with mp3s (I know it can open them and stream ones from online, hopefully write them too) and generate code / communicate with other software/scripts for posting, and it's best at communicating with
Arduinos serially, as they use almost the same language for programming and communicating and whatever. It can also look sweet for the web-side stuff. And, it's free (not like Flash) so we wouldn't have to buy it. Should we go this way, here are more things to learn:
- how to do file creation/manipulation for the mp3 files and rss feed creation stuff
- communicating to something like Flex or Ruby on Rails to update the podcast info and update files on the server
- and, I suppose, learning to do all the audio recording stuff in Processing, but that shouldn't be too bad
- maybe how to make a sweet web-side front-end for the whole project. It may load way too slowly, but we'll see
eh? this could consolidate the Audacity-Scripting process we had talked about earlier, if it's possible to save mp3 files out of Processing.
I also want to try making a website that is flashy and fun, either with Processing or Flex using
Degrafa. More on that later.
