Lightning Talk: Arduino and JeeNode
Alex Dutton from the University of Oxford has blogged about his time at DevXS and includes slides from his Lightning Talk. Thanks, Alex!
While there I knocked together a lightning talk about how easy it is to build stuff that interfaces with the physical world, based on my very positive experience with JeeNodes. The slides are available as a PDF.
