I didn’t place an order yet, so there will be an Arduino for everyone. I’m looking forward to seeing the XO, and will be bringing my Asus Eee PC. If no-one else wants to jump on board… I’m going to place the order.

By the way, on the subject of gizmos… Tom told me the CHNM had purchased a One Laptop Per Child xo. I purchased three for our afterschool program (jumpstartlearning.wordpress.com). I can spring one free from the kids if you would like — its more fun when they play together. We also loaded the Sugar OS onto a laptop that I’ll bring along. I plan to talk about something else but these are fun.

Me
Karin Dalziel
Patrick Gosetti-Murrayjohn
Douglas Knox
Jon Lesser
Dave Lester
Rob MacDougall
Jeff McClurken
Elena Razlogova

Tomorrow I will put in an order for 10 Arduinos and a few other odds and ends and have it shipped to Tom Scheinfeldt at CHNM. Jon, if you can bring your own Arduino with you, we should have two extra. Anyone else who wants to get in on this session, please let me know ASAP, so I can order extras if need be. I will try to bring along a few small tools in my checked baggage… if any of you can bring your own Leatherman, small screwdriver or needlenose pliers, that would be cool. If not, no worries.

The how-to does sound like fun, and I’d also like to hear more about the “history appliance” idea and how this can relate to the humanities.

I bought a USB arduino and a bunch of sensors more than a year ago, but I haven’t done anything besides blink an LED.

Me
Karin Dalziel
Elena Razlogova
Dave Lester
Jeff McClurken

The discounts seem to kick in around 10 kits, so we can wait at least a few days to get some idea of how large this session is going to be. My plan is to order a bunch of stuff from Spark Fun or Adafruit or wherever and have it shipped directly to CHNM (that way I don’t have to worry about bothering to bring “improvised electronic devices” with me through the border). If people have fun and want to take their Arduino with them, they can reimburse me at the conference. I’ll ship the rest back to Canada for the edification and amusement of my students.

The USB cable (if you want to bring your own) is the kind that has a rectangular plug on one side, and a squarish plug on the other with two rounded off corners (technically the A-to-B cable, NOT the A-to-mini-B that cell phones and music players use).

Another thing we might want to do is think of some potential projects. With inexpensive sensors we can sense heat, light, movement, distance, vibration, magnetic fields, etc. We can also control buzzers, LEDs, motors, bells, relays.
