Pop-in pop-out style basic electronics try-out day for beginners looking for first advice in entering in to the scary world of microcontrollers and simple sensors in connection with Max/MSP or PD. I try to have different setups available for demonstration on affordable solutions for media artists, musicians, vj’s and like for making their own controllers and experimental inputs.

Available resources include: Basic Stamps, PICs, simple sensors (proximity, light, acceleration), simple wireless modules (serial RF) and serial or midi connections to pc/mac.

I have learned by doing barely modest skills in physical computing during last years, so I can’t promise any problem solving or even correct advises, but something to get started with and carrying on self-education with these matters. If you are new to these things drop in and get started, if you have experience, drop in and share your insight.
