Arduino Camp 2012

Gli hackers credono di poter apprendere lezioni essenziali sui sistemi (sul mondo) smontando le cose, vedendo come funzionano, ed utilizzare questa conoscenza per creare cose nuove e più interessanti.

Steven Levy

Domenica 17 Giugno alle Officine Arduino una quarantina di persone hanno dimostrato la veridicita’ dell’affermazione di S. Levy.

Dall’anno scorso Arduino organizza in Italia l’Arduino Camp , un evento di due giorni che vede il primo giorno dedicato a presentazioni e talk su Arduino, seguito da un secondo giorno di Hack Day su un tema. per vedere video e foto dell’evento consulta il set su Flickr.

Il tema dell’HackDay di quest’anno era costruire un’ orologio/sveglia utilizzando Arduino, un circuito integrato RTC PCF8563 (con quarzo da 32.768 kHz) ed una montagnetta di rifiuti da cui attingere.

Divisi in gruppi di 4 o cinque persone, in poche ore i partecipanti hanno realizzato il proprio progetto. Potete leggere il resoconto della giornata qui.

La giuria (composta da Aurelio Balestra, Massimo Poti’, Fabio Varesano, Uwe Federer e Federico) alle 17 :30 ha iniziato ad esaminare i risultati dei vari gruppi ed ha decretato come vincitori il gruppo Clock Cloud, che ha creato un manufatto riciclando un vecchio giradischi e sostituendo gran parte della meccanica e dell’elettronica interne con una scheda Arduino Uno, uno shield Ethernet , un buzzer, uno stepper motor e varie parti meccaniche per  realizzare un riduttore.

 

Il gruppo, composto da Stella, Giulio, Bissaorboea e Diego cosi’  descrive il funzionamento dell’ oggetto:

Il sistema sfrutta le API di Google per leggere la presenza di un allarme sul Google Calendar e l’ora corrente. Arduino pilota lo stepper all’ora corretta e se c’è un allarme attivo provvede a far suonare il buzzer. L’intera modifica ha preservato l’aspetto fisico e conservato il design utilizzando i caratteri e i colori del tempo.

Un lavoro ben fatto, che prevedeva addirittura dei gadget per la campagna di lancio sul mercato!

Congratulazioni ai vincitori, un grosso ringraziamento ai partecipanti ed ai volontari che hanno prestato aiuto ed a Toolbox per il supporto.

Arrivederci al prossimo Arduino Camp.

 

Massimo’s Talk at TEDGlobal

We are really thrilled to blog Massimo’s delightful talk of yesterday about Arduino and the open hardware movement: TED team chose it to be the first video to be traslated and released for everybody to see.

Enjoy!

 

Arduino Barcamp Zaragoza 2012

 

Arduteka en colaboración con Cooking Hacks y Milla Digital del ayuntamiento de Zaragoza han preparado un evento con capacidad para más de 400 personas en uno de los edificios más emblemáticos de la ciudad, el Antiguo Seminario Metropolitano de Zaragoza transformando en una moderna Ciudad Administrativa Municipal y que amablemente han cedido para organizar el evento.

 

Desde charlas sobre arte interactivo con Arduino como interface, pasando por talleres sobre impresión 3D hasta demostración de integración de Arduino con Asterisk será solo una parte de lo que vamos a poder disfrutar, ya que estarán habilitados diferentes Stands como el de Parrot, en que podremos probar el nuevo Ar-Drone 2.0, el de Cooking Hacks que nos amenizarán con micro talleres Arduino e incluso el de nuestros amigos de Ultra-Lab que seguro hará las delicias de los asistentes.

 

Por si esto fuera poco.. Contaremos con la presencia y colaboración de David Cuartielles, el cual nos ofrecerá una charla sobre los últimos productos Arduino que se está aconteciendo…

Reminder: Open Hardware Summit submissions due next week.

The submission deadline for the Open Hardware Summit is next Thursday, May 31st. If you’re doing something cool with open-source hardware and would like to present it as a talk, demo, or poster, check out the call for submissions and send in your proposal! The submissions are fairly informal and short (only a page or two), so there’s still time to put something together. The summit itself will be held on September 27th at Eyebeam in New York City.

Here’s some more information from the call:

The Open Hardware Summit (OHS) invites submissions for the third annual summit, to be held on September 27, 2012 at Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in New York City. The Open Hardware Summit is a venue to present, discuss, and learn about open hardware of all kinds. The summit examines open hardware and its relation to other issues, such as software, design, business, law, and education. We are seeking submissions for talks, posters, and demos from individuals and groups working with open hardware and related areas. Submissions are due by May 31, 2012 BY 11:59pm (EST). Notification of accepted proposals will happen by July 8th, 2012.

iOS and arduino – A talk

Alasdair Allan, author of Learning iPhone Programming, Programming iPhone Sensors, and iOS Sensor Apps with Arduino, sat down with MAKE’s Dale Dougherty to talk about getting iOS devices and Arduino talking to each other.

The words of an Astrophysicist turned maker!

Hear-hear!

Arduino is one of the 10 highly desired skills

Lifehacker, usually known for its nice varied content which is relevant to everyday life, recently featured an article on “Top 10 Highly-Desired Skills You Can Teach Yourself“. A set of useful skills to keep you happy, creative and employed in today’s world.

We love technology, and we love it more when we can make it do pretty much whatever we want. There is almost no end to what you can hack, but getting started does require teaching yourself a few skills. Learning to build a computer is a good place to start. Soldering is especially helpful, and understanding the basics of arduino can help you build some really neat stuff. One of the best ways to get started is to pick a project and learn by doing. If you’re not sure where to start, our DIY tag page can offer a few ideas.
