DorkbotPDX 0x08
(zero-based)
What's happening? Two great and inspiring talks Sailing the I2Cs with the Bus Pirate - Jared Boone Jared will be discussing I2C as a bus and protocol, and will demonstrate talking with a few I2C devices. Demos may include interfacing with an off-the-shelf accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, and/or audio codec. Jared runs a fledgling open hardware business, ShareBrained Technology, where he experiments with devices for audio, time-keeping, aeronautics/astronautics/astronomy, motor sports, and radio. Remote Reality via Orbduino - Travis Smith From what started as some pretty colors and cat amusement has grown to take over a walk-in closet and has had visits from all over the world. Have you always wanted to play with a robotic arm in the exotic land of Vernowhere, from the comfort of your couch? Here's your chance! Tech junkie, traveler, and avid Phish-head. Travis conformed to the corporate mold for 17 years before breaking free to travel and completely geek out. Viva La Dork! OpenDork - You! An open-mic session for those looking to show off a project, ask a question, solicit help, or incite collaboration.
