#arduinod15

It was a busy weekend for us in Buffalo: Arduino Day and going to the Buffalo Game Space Grand Opening Party.

This past Saturday, we hosted Arduino Day at the Foundry to celebrate the Arduino! It was a day filled with tinkering with new and familiar faces down at our space.

One of our special workshops was to build a ‘Line Following Robot’ which was a huge hit with our guests! By the end of the day, everyone took home an Acto Bitty robot to play with.

Thanks everyone for coming down to visit our space! We were very excited to see new faces at our event.

Aside from Arduino Day, we also host meetups on a daily basis. If you missed us at this event, you can always catch up next time:

Sabato 28 marzo in tutto il mondo si è festeggiato l’anniversario della nascita di Arduino, la più celebre piattaforma open-source per il physical computing che permette di creare oggetti interattivi utilizzati in ogni campo, dalla didattica alla robotica.

24 ore durante le quali la community di Arduino ha condiviso le proprie esperienze e raccontato al mondo le innovazioni che questa piccola scheda elettronica permette di creare.

Dagli USA all’India, dal Sud Africa alla Svezia, passando per l’Italia, ogni comunità legata ad Arduino ha organizzato workshop ed eventi aperti a tutti, raccontandoli su Twitter con l’hashtag #ArduinoD15.

Anche noi ci siamo uniti ai festeggiamenti e abbiamo deciso di regalare alla comunità di Arduino un tweetbook che raccoglie i nostri 250 tweet preferiti pubblicati da ogni angolo della terra.

Big thanks to everyone who attended, brought their hacks, friends, beers, asked questions and stayed afterwards! Hope to see you the next time, probably at the beginning of May. We had a number of nice projects:

-- ffwd showed how he recovered a HDD using a hex editor and lvm.

-- frgtn brought his OpenROV underwater robot

-- kspi showed skardas -- a set of Python libraries for Rigol DS1052E oscilloscope and Siglent SDG1010 signal generator that allows to combine the two into a spectrum analyser.

-- Marukas brought his DIY MIDI foot controller he made out of piece of cardboard, some electronics and doorbell buttons.

-- Vytautas ir Mindaugas brought a quadcopter they are constructing out of parts from Ebay and a STM32 ARM controller. The audience decided that this was the winning project!

-- Saulius showed a head tracker for games/flight simulators he made from a MPU (motion processing unit) and an Arduino.

-- Mindaugas showed his smart home solution using a Beaglebone and a JS application he wrote.

After the event we had a short session of programmer support group and then proceeded to the electronics lab where ioch, miceuz, ffwd, kspi and pwf experimented with a Jacob’s ladder.

Arduino Day is a worldwide celebration of Arduino’s birthday.

On March 28th 2015 Seoul Tech Society together with awesome Fablab space are celebrating 11th birthday of Arduino in Seoul, South Korea.
