Rhythmic Landscape
In the afternoon, Conny and I went to Rijksmuseum Twenthe to see some exhibitions. We first went to see the exhibition Seeing &
Believing: Sensory experience in the late Middle Ages.. Each room had his
own theme. In the room 'Smelling & Believing", we smelled the four smells:
Sulfur, incense, kroedwusj (a traditional bouquet of seven specific herbs or
plants, a custom rooted in the Limburg region of the Netherlands, particularly
tied to the Catholic feast of the Assumption of Mary celebrated on August
15th), and pomander. In
the 'Touching & Believing' room, we saw Master of the Glorification of
the Virgin, Annunciation: Mary. circa 1465-1475. In the 'Touching &
Believing' room, we saw Prayer Nut in the Shape of the Virgin Mary's Head, with the Carying of the
Cross and the Crucifixion, 16th century, with some incredible minature
sculpting.

close-up pictures of Oak Forest because of the intrigated details in the
linocut that not visible from a distance. We found this exhibition to the best

Rijksmuseum Twenthe on Monday, February 17, 2025,
ISBN:9789462626126, for € 24.95.
Book
At 17:16:28, I bought the book Graduation 2015, edited by Thomas Widdershoven, written in English and published by Design Academy Eindhoven in 2015, ISBN:9789491400230, from Rataplan for
€ 3.20.
This evening, around half past six, I biked to the bridge over the expressway
near our home, to see if I could spot the planet Mercury, which should be visible almost straight below
the planet Venus. There were
a lot of contrails in the sky and there also seemed to be some thin clouds at
the horizon. I had already given up the hope to spot Mercury but decided to
wait till seven. At about five to seven, I suddenly spotted a very small light
in the sky and concluded that it must be Mercury. I took some pictures, but
they did not turn out very well. Below is a small area of one of the pictures,
which clearly shows the motion blur. This is the first time in my life that I
saw the planet Mercury with my own eyes.
Mercury (2)
This evening, I went outside with a tripod and took some pictures just from
the street near our home. I did not use the self-timer, so, most of the
pictures do have some motion blur. The last (and best, in my opinion) picture
is shown below.
19.0° Celsius
The temperature at Twenthe Airport has gone up to
19.0° Celsius, which breaks the previous record of 16.7° on this date
in 1991 by 2.3°. This is the first weather record of 2025.
19.4° Celsius
The temperature at Twenthe Airport has gone up to
19.4° Celsius, which breaks the previous record of 16.0° on this date
in 2014 by 3.4°. This is the second weather record of 2025.
Going into the city
I biked into the city without a coat. Although it was less warm than yesterday,
the temperature went up to 18.0°C (not breaking any record). At 14:27, I
stopped at a street tile in remembrance of the boundary marker stone Steen bij de Janninksbleek that was placed along the markes Esmarke and Usselo. The road Dennenweg is this border. The road
has been since at least 1850. I had searched for this tile before but at the
wrong side of the road. At 15:01, I bought the book Een nieuwe tijd
written by Toon
Tellegen with illustrations by Rauser, René Knip, Hans Muller, David Benqué, Vittorio
Roerade, Paul Faassen, Elspeth Diederix, Harmen
Liemburg, and Lava, written in Dutch and
translations in English, and published by Grafisch Nederland on Thursday,
February 1, 2008, ISBN:9789070809065, from Het Goed for
€ 7.50. At Tetem Art Space, I saw
the exhibition Reality Blinking by
en Ho Bin and Santiago Colombo Migliorero. I watched the short film Ep.8 Reality Sandwich: Reality Blinking that they made together. At 15:39,
I bought a multigrain triangular bread roll, decorated with sesameseed and
linseed for € 1.09 at the SPAR franchise shop in the city center. At Concordia I saw the exhibition
Doublet #7: In the sense of scenery with works of the two artists
Alexandra Leykauf and Sara Rajaei. From Sara
Rajaei the following videos were on display:
From Alexandra

At 16:26:56, I bought the book Hier mijn hand en dáár je wang:
wat intieme correspondentie, correspondence between Heere Heeresma and Laurie Langenbach in Dutch and published by Peter Loeb
in 1978, ISBN:9789062130467, from bookshop Broekhuis
for € 6.75.
ESP32-S3: Measuring intervals
If you want to use the ESP32-S3 to measure the
interval between events on two GPIO ports this is possible with the use of
the Motor Control PWM (MCPWM), except of course, if you are not using it to
control a motor. It is a bit tricky, if I understand it correctly. The MCPWM
has three timers. These are 16 bit timers that have a prescaler. I understand
that the prescaler is a divider for the APB clock. But this actually not
relevant. The first timer, which is called TIMER0, can be synchronized on
signal 160 (as mentioned in Table 6-2), where the input signal is called
pwm0_sync0_in and the output signal is called pwm0_out0a.
The synchronization is enabled through the value of the MCPWM_TIMER0_SYNC_REG.
I presume that the field MCPWM_TIMER0_SYNCO_SEL has to be set to 0 (the
default value) to generate the output signal 'sync_out'. The MCPWM also has
three 32-bits capture timers, which can be incremented on the APB clock and
syncronized on one of the timers 'sync_out', which I presume, for timer0, is
the signal 160. On the synchronization the value of the timer is set to the
value of the MCPWM_CAP_TIMER_PHASE_REG register. With the one capture timer,
there are three capture channels. The first capture channel, is connected to
signal 166 of which the input signal is called pwm0_cap0_in. You can
select whether you want to capture on the falling or rising edge. I understand
that a capture trigger, the current value of the capture timer will be stored
in capture register, which for capture channel 0 is MCPWM_CAP_CH0_REG. I
presume that this happens everytime when the trigger event happens (taking into
account the prescaler). I presume that TIMER0 also need to be started. Take
note that some of the settings require an update bit to be set in the
MCPWM_UPDATE_CFG_REG before they become effective.
ESP32-S3: Measuring intervals (2)
Yesterday, I wrote something about how to measure
intervals using the ESP32-S3. It seems that it
is possible to synchronize the capture timer without using a timer, like the
TIMER0 I mentioned. In the description of the MCPWM_CAP_SYNCI_SEL field of the
MCPWM_CAP_TIMER_CFG_REG register it states that the value 4 selects 'SYNC0 from
GPIO matrix', which seems to stand for the pwm0_sync0_in signal. The
low-level functions are found in the file mcpwm_ll.h of the specific
ESP32 variant. The function mcpwm_ll_capture_set_gpio_sync can be
used to set the field in the register. This function is called by the function
mcpwm_capture_timer_set_phase_on_sync in the mcpwm_cap.c
file. More information about how to call this function and other function to
set up the capture timer, see MCPWM Capture Timer and Channels and MCPWM Sync Sources in the ESP-IDF documentation.
Carte Blanche
At 20:43, on my way to the artist collective B93, I stopped to look at a street tile in remembrance
of the boundary marker stone Bröäkersteen that was placed along the markes Esmarke and Usselo. At B93, I saw the exhibitions Asian Artist for Sale by Ho Bin Kim and Like a giant gumball by Santiago Colombo Migliorero. Upstair was the installation of Ho Bin Kim
consisting of a 'stall' filled and surrounded by objects and boxes from Asia.
Downstairs was the exhibition of Santiago Colombo Migliorero, which consisted
of several moving contraptions, like a little bike running circles on the
floor or a moving finger. He also had a collection of soils from various
places. Even some he brought from Spain. There also was a circle of pottery
shards.
Battlegrounds
After work, I went to see the exhibition
Battlegrounds with paints by Ayşen Kaptanoğlu at Villa de Bank. Interesting paintings.
Amsterdam
I went to Amsterdam. I took the metro to De Pijp and visited the bookshop
Het Martyrium. It looks like the renovation
that it finished. There is a lot of room in the shop, but whereas before they
had a lot of bargains, now there are just a few. I did not stay long and
went to Stedelijk Museum. There I saw several exhibition. The first exhibition I saw was Sleeping Guards with works by Selma Selman. I saw the following works:

O. I experienced Manifestation #54 Shifting | Spirit | Time (three-channel video on
loop, 5.1 audio, 7 minutes 41 seconds) by julianknxx and studioknxx from 2025. It was kind of meditative and it reminded me of

Next, I brought a visit to bookshop De Slegte
and The American Book Center where I bought a small, white dodecaherdon, which I found in a basket of dices. It did not have any
marks on it, so, it was not a dice.
From there I walked to gallery andriesse
& eyck to attend the opening of the exhibition BLING BLING with works by Carel Blotkamp he made in the past 25 years. Most of his works are based
on well know art works, which he recreates with sequins. I found some of the
works quite impressive. At the moment there is also an exhibition, called
Bling, at Centraal Museum. Afterwards, I also paid a short visit to bookshop Scheltema.
A day in the Meadows
This evening, I went to visit the exhibition
'A day in the Meadows' at Tankstation with works by the artist mentioned in the
COWMAG zines: Beginning #0,
Belonging #1, and Becoming #2. The exhibition was curated by
Sietse Henselmans and
Marsha van Leersum.
From the exhibition, I found the following works noteworthy:

21.7° Celsius
The temperature at Twenthe Airport has gone up to
21.7° Celsius, which breaks the previous record of 17.5° on this date
in 1956 by 4.2°. This is the third weather record of 2025, if I am not
mistaken. On the news they were talking about the fourth national weather
record this month.
Some flowers opened
Yesterday at the end of the afternoon, I saw that some flowers on our magnolia had opened. I counted six that looked like they had at least
opened a bit. Today, I did not get as warm as yesterday, but it is still got
rather warm, 18.1°C at Twenthe Airport. We have seen a lot of clear blue
skies in the past weeks and probably got twice as much sunshine as usual. But
that seems to be changing for the coming week. Last night, I looked at the
three pots with seeds in our shed, which I put there in October. Today, I brought them in and Conny gave them some water.
Flowers on magnolia
Today, more flowers opened on our magnolia. Below a
picture of one flower with in the background many that have not opened yet.
Book
At 14:34, I received the book Emigre Fonts: Type Specimens 1986-2016,
edited by Rudy VanderLans, written in English, and published by Gingko Press in
2016, ISBN:9781584236207, which I had bought last Saturdayat 18:53 from Mayflower in Leiden for € 39.99. Although, I ordered it through
a website for secondhand books, it was shrink wrapped. The primary reason to
buy this book is because I saw it in the collection of the Stedelijk Museum on
Saturday, March 15.
Installing dump1090
I spend some time installing dump1090 (again). The following commands can be
used to build the required software:
the following command:
git clone https://github.com/librtlsdr/librtlsdr.git
cd librtlsdr
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DINSTALL_UDEV_RULES=ON
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
cd ../..
git clone https://github.com/antirez/dump1090.git
cd dump1090/
make
To make it work with a DVB-T+FM+DAB dongle, you might have to add the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-rtl-sdr.rules with the lines:
# original RTL2832U vid/pid (hama nano, for example)
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2832", MODE:="0666"
And if your version of Linux loads a kernel module that connects to the dongle,
you might have to add the file /etc/modprobe.d/no-rtil.conf with the
lines:
blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
blacklist rtl2832
blacklist rtl2830
Rotterdam Art Week
I went to Rotterdam to attend various activities related to the
Rotterdam Art Week. I went there
by train.
In the train, I finished reading the book On
Anarchism by Noam
Chomsky, which I started reading on December 10, last year, after I bought
it on October 22. I did not find the main
proposition very realistic especially if you realize how in the past decade
people all over the world have been embracing fascism so easily it seems. I
found the middle part about Spanish Civil War, the most interesting.
I first went to Art Rotterdam. The

icecream plotted on three HP 7475A pen plotters (if I am not mistaken) where
you could select a coloured sheet, the cone, the icecream, and the topping, all
in the colour of your selection. After this, I got a chicken doner kebab at
Shoarma De Cocosnoot. I had planned to visit MaMA next, but from the outside it did not look worth paying
€ 2.00 to go inside. I looked around a bit a bookshop Donner and
then decided to take the metro to Wilhelminaplein and from there I walked to pop-up gallary of
debsaysyes. They were at the point of
closing but allowed me to have a look first. I noted a work by the German
artist Franz Licht. I
realized, I only saw a small part of the Rotterdam Art Week. Maybe next year, I
should stay in a hotel for some days.
TkkrLab: Open day
Today is the International Open Hackerspace Day 2025. I went to the open day at TkkrLab. Before any guest arrive, I helped a bit with vacum cleaning the
stair. I had brought some puzzles with me and the DVB-T+FM+DAB to show how to track planes with dump1090. Another member of the hackerspace had brought a 3D printed sock
nitting machine. Shortly after noon, we went outside and observed the partial
solar eclipse using two sheets of paper where one of the sheets had a small
hole. I showed some guests around our hackerspace. Others did the same.
