>> map global radiation levels to bakeries that tweet when the bread is<br>
>> fresh out of the oven.<br>
>><br>
>> Adrian McEwen has been connecting odd things to the Internet since the<br>
>> mid-90s. Starting with cash registers, and then as part of the team<br>
>> who were first to put a web browser onto a mobile phone. As the mobile<br>
>> phone and set-top box work became more mainstream he dropped down a<br>
>> level to Arduino which led to Internet-enabled bubble machines and<br>
>> chicken-food silos...<br>
>><br>
>> Adrian has been working with Arduino since 2008 — which is when<br>
>> Bubblino, the aforementioned bubble machine which watches twitter, was<br>
>> created — and is charge of the Arduino Ethernet library. He is based<br>
>> in Liverpool, where he runs MCQN Ltd, a company that builds IoT<br>
>> devices and products.<br>

>> - Developing Linux on Embedded Devices<br>
>><br>
>> This talk will provide an introduction to developing Linux on embedded<br>
>> devices. Firstly we will look at the capabilities of popular boards<br>
>> such as the BeagleBone and the Raspberry Pi. Then using the example of<br>
>> a BeagleBone controller for a 3D printer the talk with explain how to<br>
>> develop for an embedded device. It will consider what comprises an<br>
>> embedded Linux software stack. The talk will discuss boot loaders,<br>
>> kernels and root filesystems. We will discuss what are the minimum<br>
>> software packages required in a root file system. The talk will then<br>
>> go on to consider the tools required to develop for an embedded<br>
>> target. It will look at what tools are available to help the embedded<br>
>> developer and speed up this development process. Once you have<br>
>> developed your software you need to debug it. The talk will look at<br>
>> what debugging tools are available for debugging embedded devices.<br>

>> Melanie Rhianna Lewis started a life long love of electronics as a<br>
>> child when her Dad helped her make a "crystal" radio with an ear<br>
>> piece, a coil of wire, a diode and a radiator! At the same time the<br>
>> home computer revolution started and she would lust after the "build<br>
>> your own computers" advertised in the electronics magazines of the<br>
>> time. She never got one but did end up the proud owner of a BBC Micro.<br>
>> Melanie learnt everything she could about the machine and including<br>
>> assembler, operating systems, drivers, interrupt, and, thanks to the<br>
>> circuit diagram in the Advanced User Guide, digital electronics. After<br>
>> the BBC Micro came the Acorn Archimedes and so started a long<br>
>> relationship with ARM processors. In the 90s Melanie became interested<br>
>> in Linux and then developed one of the first ARM Linux distributions<br>
>> running on an Acorn RISC PC. The hobby became a job and Melanie<br>
>> currently works for an embedded device consultancy near Bradford where<br>
>> a lot of her work is still with ARM processors.<br>

>> - Interfacing the Raspberry Pi to the World — Everything you need to<br>
>> know about P1<br>
>><br>
>> You've received your Pi, set up a web server on it and maybe played a<br>
>> few rounds of Quake. You're looking for a new challenge and suddenly<br>
>> the header on the corner of the board catches your eye. A quick Google<br>
>> search for "P1 Raspbery Pi" gets you to the eLinux wiki page on Low<br>
>> level peripherals, and you suddenly realise that you can do all sorts<br>
>> of fun stuff by adding extra bits to your Raspberry Pi using this<br>
>> magical expansion port. Where do you start? Is it safe to connect a<br>
>> motor directly to the pins? What sort of interesting components are<br>
>> out there?<br>
>><br>
>> In this talk we will look at the ways we can communicate with the<br>
>> outside world using the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi. We will explore<br>
>> the mechanical, electrical and software side of things and talk about<br>
>> a few example projects you can try at home, and the hardware<br>
>> limitations will be covered and workarounds provided.<br>
>><br>
>> Omer Kilic is theoretically still a research student at the University<br>
>> of Kent, although he intends to submit his thesis (which is about a<br>
>> reconfigurable heterogeneous computing framework) pretty soon. He<br>
>> likes tiny computers, things that 'just work' and beer. He currently<br>
>> works for Erlang Solutions in London, exploring the use of Erlang<br>
>> programming language in the Embedded Systems domain and develops tools<br>
>> and support material to help the adoption of this technology.<br>
>><br>
>> This talk will also serve as an introduction for the Raspberry Pi<br>
>> workshop on the Sunday, where we will explore the example projects<br>
>> covered in more detail.<br>

>> interactive and aesthetically pleasing works that include gaming and<br>
>> musical elements. She is keen to demonstrate that electronics,<br>
>> components and circuitry doesn't have to be regarded as cold, boring,<br>
>> hard and boxy and instead can be fun, colourful and elegant, plus be<br>
>> integrated into an overall design of a work.<br>
>><br>
>> Rain’s background is in developing online activities for the BBC as a<br>
>> Senior Producer at BBC Learning and also as Technologist at BBC R&D,<br>
>> co-running BBC Backstage. She currently works as a freelance<br>

>> - The 3D Printed Revolution<br>
>><br>
>> Over recent years Open Source 3D printers have quickly developed<br>
>> alongside their commercial counterparts offering affordable and<br>
>> accessible alternatives. This talk will cover experiences using<br>
>> commercial printers and how the speaker's interests have moved to open<br>
>> source designs and how the two compare. Examples will be shown of<br>
>> projects using these technologies, such as "Fable", a clock<br>
>> manufactured by Selective Laser Sintering, and a wrist watch designed<br>
>> to be printed on a RepRap. There will also be a run through of the<br>

>> In 2008 Mark set up the design studio Gilbert13 with his wife Angela<br>
>> where they design and develop products inspired by experimentation<br>
>> into digital manufacturing processes, 3D printing and additive<br>
>> manufacturing. Recent projects have taken their experience from rapid<br>
>> prototyping to use 3D printing as a manufacturing tool that can change<br>
>> the way people design, co create and distribute objects.<br>
>><br>
>> - The Bots are Coming<br>
>><br>
>> In the last two decades we have seen software and data change the<br>
>> fabric of economics, and the advent of personal computing and the<br>
>> Internet enable many new business models. However, the next two<br>
>> decades will be even more radical as that wave of innovation shifts<br>
>> from the virtual domain to a physical manifestation. Atoms are the new<br>
>> bits and the open sourcing and democratisation of bot technology is<br>
>> allowing us to enter into an era of personal production. And this talk<br>
>> will explore how 3D printing and additive manufacturing are<br>
>> revolutionising production as we know it.<br>
>><br>
>> Alan Wood originally trained in systems engineering, got lost in<br>
