I was at Mashed08 in Alexandra Palace . There is a good mix of hardware and software hackers, but I like the hardware ones best. It’s a bit like working with children ands animals. It should not be done in 24hrs unless you are really experienced. I spent too much time on a prototype when i should have spent time on the sketch, A learning experience, but I did dip into using python to talk to Arduino , and that was a valuable lesson.
I’ve written up what I thought of it, and posted it over at my site.
