LED Strips Everywhere for Everyone!

_Learn how to program and light up LED strips._ It's super easy and fun to make your life trippy and beautiful. **For total beginners.** Make your life trippy and beautiful!
=== Reservierung nötig / Reservation needed: https://pretix.entropia.de/entropia/gpn23-workshops/85/ === LED strips have become really inexpensive. And many people have created easy methods of controlling the color and brightness of individual LEDs in LED strips. This workshop will show you a couple of easy and fun ways to control LED strips, and to make them do what you want. I'll show you everything you need to know to use existing Arduino programs -- and how to hack Arduino programs -- to control the colors in your world with LED strips. **Workshop Itinerary:** * Intro to color theory and Red-Green-Blue _(RGB)_ LEDs * Brief intro to Arduino * How to use an Arduino to control an LED strip * Some demos of programs you can download for free **Materials cost:** The workshop is free, but if you would like to partake in the hands-on aspects of the workshop, Mitch will have materials for **€20**. _**Optional:** Bring your laptop if you want to go home with the free Arduino software installed on it._ _Arduino software runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux (any version is fine):_ [Arduino software](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software)

Vintage sound chips make cool music, but what's hiding inside of them? Which algorithms are they using? In the past years I've been dedicating my free time to building emulators for old digital sound chips from synthesizers/game consoles, in an effort to preserve them and make them usable without the original hardware. During this time I went through lots of interesting stuff: silicon reverse engineering, logic analyzers, weird compression schemes, forgotten audio algorithms and more. In this ...

Ever wondered how to rickroll your friend with a custom cake? In this talk, I'll show you how to use a 3D printer, a vacuum molder, and a dental vibration table to create custom working QR codes and chocolate bars with readable text out of chocolate. You will learn the basics of chocolate tempering and vacuum molding along the way to form chocolate in the shape of your desire.

Analog *synthesizers* originate from the same era as analog *computers* and share the same operating principles. So let's see how to make some noise with an analog computer!
