Learn how to program LED strips.<br> It's super easy and fun to make your life trippy and beautiful.<br> <i>For total beginners -- no knowledge needed at all.</i>
LED strips have become really inexpensive. Lots of people have created inexpensive methods of controlling their color and brightness. This workshop shows one way to control LED strips, and to make them do what you want. We will use a very inexpensive Arduino clone. I'll show you everything you need to know to use existing programs -- as-is, or to hack on -- to control the colors in your world with LED strips. This workshop is for total beginners. Workshop Itinerary Intro to 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 Materials costs 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 € (useful for making your life trippy and beautiful).

Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are cryptographic co-processors that self-erase when manipulated to stop physical attacks. They are old tech, but have not yet made their way into hackers' hands because they cost tens of thousands of euros each. In this talk, I will show you how you can DIY' an HSM that is as secure as those 10k€ commercial ones for less than 100€.

Developing PIO programs for the Raspberry Pico RP2040 chip is really hard, since -- in contrast to the ARM cores -- access to the PIO's inner state is very limited, and debugging output and tracing almost impossible. Therefore, in early 2021, I implemented an emulator for the RP2040 PIO, and a set of tools (for the command line as well as GUI based) and a very simple scripting language for program control and debugging output. The tool set thus supports developing PIO programs by running on the ...

Radiosonden sind die Messgeräte, die an Wetterballons hängend tagtäglich Daten für die Wettervorhersage generieren. Diese Geräte sind Einweg-Wegwerfprodukte, die nach der Landung die Umwelt vermüllen. Doch nicht nur der Wetterdienst weiß, wo die Sonden unterwegs sind - wir können sie einsammeln und für unsere eigenen Zwecke hacken.

**Anyone** can learn to solder!<br> It is useful and fun. Learn to solder by making a cool badge that you can wear and blink wherever you go. (Also available are ArduTouch music synthesizer kits for making music, and TV-B-Gone kits for turning off TVs in public places.) The "I Can Solder!" Badge kit is a very simple open hardware kit that anyone can use for learning to solder. The ArduTouch kit is a performing musical instrument -- also open hardware. TV-B-Gone is an open hardware kit for ...
