Douglas Easterly at the Biofi workshop. Here he is holding an arduino and explaining how great   microcontrollers are.

I am attending the Bio-Fi workshop at Republica Polytechnica in Singapore, run by Doug, Matt and Kathrine from swamp.nu

During the workshop we are learning about php and how it can be used for data scraping (e.g. maybe we want to get the pollution/particulate value for a LA highway from the pollution website).

What do we want to do with that?

Well……we can use it to activate an arduino board. The arduino can drive a simple transmitter that talks to a Bio-Fi module. This module is attached to a essential oil vapouriser…. Cool!

Di Ball has a picture of the back of my head at the workshop here.
