December Arduino

Having travelled to London for the last Arduino workshop we had Arduino come to Falmer in the shape of the man himself - Massimo Bansi.

Having covered the basics at the London workshop we were straight into more sophisticated techniques this time. We covered a bunch of topics which included writing to a USB disk directly from the Arduino board, a quick look at Bluetooth comms, the use of optocouplers for hacking consumer electrical goods and an introduction to shift registers.

Jon and I made a prototype low res display from LED boards which could display video or webcam feeds using serial comms from a Processing applet. I'm now working on an enhanced version that uses shift registers. Excellent workshop - if you ever get the chance to attend a small workshop with Massimo be sure to jump at the chance.
