Last saturday saw the middle of three events in the Summer of Hacks series from JSOxford.
The guys put together a great event in partnership with Gordon from Pur3. Gordon is the talented inventor of the Espurino family of javascript powered microcontrollers and had previously given a talk to the group about the boards, so most people were already juiced up to try it out.
A heap of wires, batteries, servos and other electronics had been duly arranged and Gordon had even gone to the supreme effort of developing a printed circuit board to form the chassis of the mobile robot and had instructions prepared to give us a head start of assembling our soon-to-be planet destroying synthetic lifeform underlings!
