Matt Howard has generously offered to spend an evening with a hands-on demo and training session about new approaches to robotic components. Check out the latest in open-source hardware and software for robotics and other functional systems. This meeting is intended to be a help in preparing for the planned DorkbotColumbus GREEN event during Earth Week 2008.
The date is Jan 22, 2008, from 7 - 8:30pm. Put it on your calendar. Even you do not plan to participate in the DorkbotColumbus GREEN event, this will be interesting if you have wondered how technology is advancing in this area.
Creating technology projects that incorporate movement, action and functionality is getting easier and less expensive with the advent of a variety of new open-source tools. Matt will present an application-oriented look at an open source hardware platform called Arduino and some very approachable new software called Processing - to help beginners get started and to help more experienced experimenters expand into new areas.
This event will be held in the main meeting room at TechColumbus, courtesy of the Platform Lab, at 1275 Kinnear Rd. For more information and a map, check out the DorkbotColumbus Events page.
