Embedded Systems and Physical Computing

I am not sure when the physical computing bug hit me. I think it was sometime in 2007 while I taught a course on C programming. I enjoy any chance I have to tinker with my three of favorite boards: the Arduino, C.H.I.P. and Raspberry Pi.

You may be looking for my dedicated Raspberry Pi presentation page.
