Session Title
Hardware Hacking area: Make Cool Things with Microcontrollers (and learn to solder)
Abstract
Stop by the hardware hacking area and make something cool! Even if you've never even sewn a button, you can learn to make cool things with microcontrollers. Plenty of parts and kits are available, including Brain Machines, TV-B-Gones, Trippy RGB Waves, Mignonette Games, and other fun projects you can take home with you. Mitch and others will be there to show you everything you need to know. Turn off TVs in public places, trip out to your brain waves, move objects, play games -- you can make microcontrollers do it all. It's easy and fun.
