World's First 3D Stamp Computer
by Humanoido
Intro
The 3DSC was originally posted in the Basic Stamp Supercomputer thread of the Parallax Forum as spinoff technology to the BSS. It has now become a mature project of its own, and worthy of its own thread so it is moved here. It is likely such a project can be interfaced the the BSS itself. The line is not a distinctive one, as what can be applied to the 3D Stamp Computer can be applied to the BSS as well. In particular, the Baby Stamp Supercomputer and the Master Offloader Machine are perfect candidates for this project. More on this later.

Idea
I was looking at the Basic Stamp Supercomputer and there in front were multiple platform levels of various stamp computers with incredible power, and the magnitude hit me - thinking there's three or more interacting dimensions. Up to this point, I was thinking only in terms of quantity, i.e. clusters and paralleled processing.
Background
According to Einstein, a space-time continuum exists in multi dimensional Universe. So why not have the supercomputer do a kind of (simple) demonstration or simulation and recreate the effects of space-time with, say three or more dimensions of choice? Using common components and the Parallax Basic Stamp One, it would be affordable and the entire project could be completed in a reasonable period of time.
Process
Taking the BSS spinoff one step further, a complete yet simple entity was created in one evening, which is now called the 3D Stamp Computer or simply 3DSC. It actually works! - Using three driving computational and controlling engines and thinking in three dimensions not limited to space only, it was programmed with some very interesting ideas, the results of which are absolutely spectacular! |

The Dimensions
Using light, sound, computation, space, and time, some demonstration programs were written that are absolutely mind blowing. I felt a kind of awesome feeling like back in the university when being introduced to the world of Albert Einstein with time travel, the Universe, dimensional space time concepts and physics that can inspire the mind and the soul into the excitement of expanded thinking on new levels.
Power
Simply put, the project takes you to a place where literally no one has gone before - the power of multidimensional computing is the ability to use time and space in various relationships with hardware, calculation, computation, sound, light, sequence, phase, actuation, waveform, oscillation, harmonics, sensors and inter-dimensional communications to develop new creative concepts.

Software
The 3D computer uses a numerous programs to achieve demonstrations of the initial effects. It also includes a full token ring network software where any stamp can communicate with the others. There is no designated Master, although one stamp becomes the initiator in the start up sequence. For more info and software code, please see the Stamp One News! Issue # 1 |
