Additional Information

Tickets

Adafruit Kit

This ticket includes 1 Adafruit arduino starter kit. Shipping is included and slightly discounted. If you don't already have hardware, we recommend this option so that you know you have the same kit as others and we can help debug any problems quickly.

If you have your own hardware and are just looking to have a dedicated time to hack away, this ticket is for you!

What To Expect

The day will start at 10am with a short overview of how to get a node bot started. In this overview we will all put together the "hello world" of Nodebots, the blinking LED.

After this we will open up into a free work time where you can hack away at any project you can dream up.

Around lunch time lunch will be served thanks to our hosts and sponsors Fluencia.

At 4pm anyone who wants to compete with others creations in the first ever DC Robot-Pull, can do so.

At 5pm we'll have a quick time for sharing, so that you can show off your sweet project and than clean up the place.

What to Bring

  1. A computer with node installed
  2. A microcontroller such as:
  3. Parts (take a look down the page for a list of kits)
  4. Lots of IDEAS!

Kits to make making more straight forward

Here is a list of kits you might want to look into getting for Nodebots Day. Kits are a great way to get started with Microcontrollers as they often come with project books designed about the parts provided in the kit.
