Pimp My Garbage

Location: Portland Ballroom
James Larsson, (notorious for stupid, dangerous and immoral hardware hacks) shows how mundane or discarded machinery can be "improved" using high voltages, low technology and a dollop of humour. With a particular emphasis on old toys and games, James describes how the addition of simple electronics can add a lot of value whilst being inherently open source. Examples include an electrical version of Buckaroo (Buck-ampere-oo) game using old PC components, a steady-hand game run at 30,000 Volts and a very naughty makeover for pong.
