Michael Ossmann & Kate Temkin - Software-Defined Everything

The popularity of Software-Defined Radio (SDR) has led to the emergence of powerful open source software tools such as GNU Radio that enable rapid development of real-time Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques. We’ve used these tools for both radio and non-radio applications such as audio and infrared, and now we are finding them tremendously useful for diverse sensors and actuators that can benefit from DSP. In this talk we’ll show how we use the open source GreatFET platform to rapidly develop an SDR-like approach to just about anything.

So, you could play guitar, while using the 6 axis of DC components to control other effects.... i.e. rotating tilting the guitar could shift the frequency, volume, echo or something. ;-)

The Hack RF is very cool... still a bit expensive but cool none the less... Interesting to "meet" the people who made it.
What is that (is it Black Sabbath) tune he's playing at 20:22 ... It's just my "Smoke on The Water" is getting a bit old now and I'd love to Google the tab for that one.
OK... so if you can use GNU Radio to do Pure Data's job... can you use Pure Data to do GNU Radio's

Time to invent a car with a software defined engine. This way you can capture a high performance rev and replay on your car.

Lovely crazy hackers! Truly inspirational!
