RE: [LCtalk] application design for Lanbox (LCX)

[C. Holzmann]

Hi Rob,

For the Artwork of the Watermunt* we have created a small piece of 
software for the LCX. In this software we read the tides & moon faces 
from different tables and this results in data for the LCX, which will 
output on our line on the outside of the building. In the software we 
send UDP data (since this was the easiest to implement method to write 
software for this artwork.

For another Artwork we have done (Freudenthal**) where the programmer 
wrote an application that enables children to play a game over the 
internet. The results of the game are displayed by four pieces of LCX's 
on the outside of the building. Also for this application we have 
choosen to use UDP, because of the simplicity.

Kind regards,
 Carl Holzmann
