AVR book meeting w/Mitch

02/06/09

Basic structure

  * projects build on each other
  * ch 1 – blink an LED
  * more advanced topic in sidebar
  * describe what's going on

Possible Contributors:
  - Far McKon
  - Limor
  - Joe Grand
  - Zach Hoeken (rrrf etc)
  - Elliot/HacDC
  - Jimmy Rodgers / Open Heart project
  - Kip
  - CTP
  - Jonathan Foote

need to talk to people and figure out projects

Possibility of teaching classes and using feedback to improve book

Book parallels classes

other project ideas?
  * noisemaker
  * ball game, accelerometer, LED matrix
  * something with an LCD
  * mignionette
  * EEG sensors
  * galvanic skin resistance

ideas for projects building on each othre
  * 1 LED – hello world
  * 8 LEDs – mini POV
  * 2 invisible LEDs – TV B Gone (interrupts)
  * interrupts/PWM – RGB light
  * DSP or something really advanced – RepRap, Fuzebox?

Mechanical interfacing?

Swarm robots

interaction

CTP wants book to center on Arduino

possible project – making an AVR into an Arduino (Jeff)

split royalties 50/50 – no advance
