Hey! I know that guy, there is decent chance that I soldered that Cue Light box together over a weekend. I am excited to see where Ben Peoples Industries goes in the next few years. I partly hope that he is stays the same small electronics shop that is so easy and friendly to deal with, but also, that he can expand and share his products with a bigger range of people. Personally, I love Ben Peoples as an example of what theater people can be. Technical Theater people sometimes seem to be purposely hiding under a rock, they are scared of the cool things that math and science have to offer. It is great when the real benefits of technology get packaged up in something like arduino, so that theater people wont be scared of it, but it really isnt that hard to begin with. Many of the theater people I know are plenty smart enough to be engineers or scientists, I think they are just scared of it.
Go Ben Peoples!!! I wish I was also at LDI to check his booth out! I think Ben has come out with some really neat gadgets that serve a market niche that nobody else is really serving yet, especially with the MSC Box and Horatio Monitoring System. I am curious about the competition he is seeing with the Prospero DMX cue light controller since there are several well established companies producing similar products, such as ETC. Regardless, it does sound like that product has achieved some type of popularity on Broadway. As somebody who is also interested in electronics and has dabbled in Arduino projects, it is inspiring to see somebody with a background such as Ben Peoples move into the market he currently operates in.
Custom embedded electronics is a fascinating field to me and it is very cool that somebody with a similar education has been able to so fluidly work in this market segment.
It's great to see a CMU alumnus innovating in this field. If your product has taken over Broadway in 2 years, it must be doing pretty well. I assume these products are used in order to make the production electrician's job easier and to have the lighting control run with less tinkering. remember seeing Ben a few weeks ago making some signs for his booth. I hope he captures a lot of interest at LDI. His products look pretty neat. Maybe we can get one of those nifty customizable cue light system. Simple, small integrated software/hardware solutions are a previously unseen product in this industry. Hopefully, Ben has started something that will expand to a much larger scale. This potential of this niche is fairly untapped at this point in time, so there's a lot of room for development. Let's see where Ben and the rest of the industry goes with this technology.
