Microcontrollers are the building blocks of interactive installations, connected smart tech (iot) and data responsive technology. Come hear about some exciting and impactful projects built with microcontrollers and pcbs.

Projects include:

• Building Musical Instruments and Installations with Bela
• Odd control surfaces: Using unconventional sensors for audiovisual performance with a Teensy.
• Assisted Living Space Monitor: Air Quality, Climate, Security. done with all off-the-shelf parts.
• Learn about a series of art pieces that uses the ESP32 series of chips to create persistence of vision LED art. I will go over various things I have learned creating these installations, including using ESP-NOW for wireless control, slip rings, and wireless power transmission to create various versions of mesmerizing and dynamic art.
• A xseries of iao esp32 sensor board prototypes for different scenarios: to transmit data via meshtastic or save data on SD card.

We will have follow up ab hours if you want to learnt o make something of your own.

Materials: Bring Your Project if you'd like to share .

Prerequisites: Previous experience with microcontrollers and connected tech is helpful.
