Circuit Bending Talk and Workshop At Hope

Easy ButtonPre-register here.

I will be giving a talk on circuit bending at the Next Hope conference this month. The talk will be Friday night at 9:00pm on Saturday. I will then be running a circuit bending workshop immediately afterwards. It will be from 10-ish PM till whenever in the hardware hacking village. To attend the workshop, you will either need to pre-register here ($25, includes everything), or show up with an Easy Button and $15 in hand. I’m only going to bring about 10 Easy Buttons over the pre-registration, so I can’t guarantee you’ll get one. I will have all other parts needed for as many people as the hardware hacking village can hold.

The talk will cover not only a bit about what circuit bending is, but what it has been, and what it will be in the future. I will also go over some common exploits so that attendees will be able to leave the talk with a solid understanding of where to start, as well as what parts are needed. I will also be going over what toys to look for, and how to find ones that are ripe for exploits.

UPDATE:

It looks like I only managed to get a grand total of 11 Easy Buttons from Staples. Also, since there is a bending concert on Saturday night, I’m not going to hold the workshop afterwards. That would just be unfair to the people who want to go to the concert (like me ;-) The new time will be Sunday from 13:00 till you finish.

Your best bet is to either pre-register here or show up with an easy button and $20. I would suggest you go outside of Manhattan, as I’ve already bought all of the ones near the conference center. Although, there are supposedly 6 in the Staples in Pen Station, but I couldn’t find it, and nobody seemed to know where it was located. If you can find it, then you’ll be all set.
