Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Fredericks is a multidisciplinary professor and interactive media creator with 13+ years of experience blending art, research and engineering from Montreal. He designs and builds interactive installations, audiovisual performances and open-source hardware/software (including Arduino/Wiring debouncing libraries) that fuse audio and video into what he calls optolectroacoustics. Equally at home lecturing across universities and developing embedded systems, he often incorporates social and political themes and helps other artists navigate technical challenges. His work is informed by a sustained interest in cybernetics and novel human–machine relationships, and he maintains a playful bestiary of creatures—pigs, cockroaches, lobsters—that inform his creative practice.

Contributions summary:Thomas primarily developed a debouncing library for Arduino and Wiring, as evidenced by the code changes and examples provided. Their work focused on implementing and refining debouncing logic for digital inputs, including handling edge detection (rising and falling edges) for button presses and tilt switches. This involved writing C++ code for the Arduino platform, creating examples demonstrating various debouncing techniques, and updating the library's structure and documentation.
