And we got some participants to try Arduino with this simple tutorial http://www.tamberg.org/chopen/2015/IoTPrototyping.pdf

LittleBits CloudBit Version

With FabLab Munich’s laser and some zip ties, we made yet another Masskurg adapter for the LittleBits CloudBit. As it requires quite some power we added a fat USB power brick (thanks Faye). The CloudBit hooks right into IFTTT.com, no programming required. Tethering the WiFi to an Android phone also worked fine. In our setup, the loudness sensor (a.k.a. Prosit Detektor) triggers a Tweet. To debug the trigger we replaced it with a button. The LED is also triggered by a simple IFTTT rule and serves as an indicator that everything worked.

Here’s a short video of an end-to-end demo and testing the Prost Detektor.

Hackday at FabLab Munich

After the pre-work talk we went to FabLab Munich for an entire day of building stuff. Thanks Andreas for hosting this awesome session.

Florin’s Flaschen-mod. Johannes’ SparkCore code lets it communicate by lighting up one bottle’s LED triggered by sensor input from a second bottle.

We’ve also been visited by the organisers of Make Munich, an independent faire that you should definitely check out if you’re in Munich Nov 1st/2nd.
