Off to NOTACON!

notacon 6

It’s almost time to board the plane and I’m still messing with the slides for my talk at 1PM tomorrow in the East Ballroom at Notacon 6.

It’s a good thing this stuff is so much fun, otherwise I might ask myself – why am I doing this??

I’m hoping to meet some cool peeps at the non-con.  I’ll have Rescue Shield kits and stickers with me for anyone who wants to check them out. Even if you don’t see my talk, say hi sometime during the weekend.  I’ll be the nerdy looking tall guy in the black shirt.  Oh wait…

Space Invaders Button


Marcus at Interactive Matter made this awesome space invaders button, inspired by Alex Weber’s 64pixels project.  It uses almost entirely SMT components and an ATmega164P microcontroller.

The PCB layout is gorgeous!

Marcus provides schematics, source code, and some helpful notes about surface mount soldering. I really like to see SMT projects like these popping up, proving that with the right tools, through hole packaging is no longer a necessity for DIY!
