Welcome back after the summer break, Dorkbot returns Tuesday 16th October, 7pm at Watershed.
The line up looks like this:
1) From waterproof robots to crazy patents; from light sabers in space to designing a new nuclear bomb, 2007 has been yet another crazy year in science and technology. Dr Andrew Impey from Null Hypothesis, the online Journal of Unlikely Science will be highlighting some of the more weird and bizarre stories to make the news this year.
And…
2) John Honniball presents “What can you make with microcontrollers?”
Microcontrollers are very popular with gadget builders who need a little more intelligence in their circuits. But what exactly are they and what can you do with them? This demo will show just what’s involved when you want to add a microcontroller to your gadget, and will introduce the creative possibilities of combining electronic hardware with embedded software. So, what could you do with a computer-on-a-chip that’s far smaller, cheaper and less power-hungry than the PC or Mac?
