Software dev's guide to hardware hacking
The world of hardware hacking has been gaining popularity recently. With the advent of open-source hardware, there's been tremendous interest in hacking hardware again. In this session, we'll look at two popular hardware platforms: Arduino and RaspberryPi. We'll also look at how to integrate the Arduino with Android to build a cheap, complete hardware hacking platform, all written in Java!
We'll go over the current open hardware scene first. Then we'll look at how to setup these two platforms. Of course, we'll write some code and deploy them onto the hardware!
