We deviate from .NET in these Halloween meetings but we have a lot of fun. We talk about how to mix programming with micro electronics to make your Halloween activities more unique. We cover a spectrum of technology and we're covering more this year than ever before! Here's what we have in store:
- Bring your Halloween costumes out of the dark ages this year with a wearable Arm Canon. Micro electronics are ubiquitous enough now that we can use them in all kids of projects. Learn how to integrate them into a Megaman-esque Halloween costume.
- Out-Halloween your neighbor, Griswold style! Turn up the haunt with impressive custom computer-controlled lighting for your outdoor display on the cheap.
We will brave our way through two new ways to work with Arduino to control your props:
- Windows Remote Arduino: Microsoft has provided us with a platform for communicating with an aruidno without having to write any arduino code. Coupled with a UWP app, we can do all kinds of things with our existing C# knowledge.
- Node.js on Arduino: JavaScript has become one of the biggest languages around and has some advantages over more strongly typed languages. We can use node.js to control and interact with an Arduino, all from the comfort of JavaScript.
