Last weekend we had a workshop, party, and hackathon in Hackaday’s own design lab. It started off with [Matt] suffering through food poisoning and giving a seven hour talk on designing a product and taking it to manufacturing. Check out the talk, there’s a few decades of engineering experience embedded in that seven hour YouTube video. Since then, [Matt] has put up all the design files for his product, an ESP8266 breakout board. There are Githubs and Powerpoints there as well.
The events continued into Sunday, the open hack day where we provided tons of components, and sponsors for The Hackaday Prize allowed everyone to tinker on their dev boards. Atmel sent a lot of stuff; ATMega328 boards, SAM3 boards, TI sent out a bunch of LaunchPads (with some cool Sharp Memory Display add-ons), Freescale sent some Freedom boards, and of course thanks to the workshop the day before there were more than enough ESP8266s for everyone.
Also on deck for the hackathon was [Elecia White], embedded.fm podcaster, engineer, and Hackaday Prize judge two years in a row. [Samy Kamkar]. privacy and security researcher and creator of the KeySweeper was there on Saturday, teasing us about a few hacks he’s come up with. They’re really, really good, and we can’t wait until they’re released. [Jeff] from Circuitry & Poetry was there with a bunch of circuit bent synths.
We’re going to take this time to give a big shoutout to SGVHAK. We honestly couldn’t have done this event without them. I’d personally like to thank [Michael Proctor-Smith] for bringing his amazing livestreaming box. He is the reason I am not currently (still) editing down seven freaking hours of video. Big ups to [Lan], [Scoops] and everyone else who helped out. If you came to the Hackaday event, check out their meetups.
