The is the repository for the hardware hack session at Gophercon 2024.
If you received a GopherBadger2040, it is yours to keep. Please return all other equipment when you are finished for the next person. Thank you!
Please read our installation instructions here.
If you are one of the very fortunate individuals to have received a Badger2040 badge tha tis programmable using TinyGo, it is in fact yours to keep!

:info: take a look at the ./tools directory for instructions on how to do bluetooth discovery
Turns out we had a few unopened Sphero Ollie robots that we found just in time for Gophercon! These fast Bluetooth controlled robotic toys have long been a Go programmer fan favorite.
There are a few of these cylindrical robots to help satisfy your need for speed.
Want to take one for a spin? Go to ./robot/sphero/.
Minimalist race game with an LED strip.

Looking for the true "parts experience"? Got you covered! We have brought some Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect IoT microcontroller boards for each person to use for the activity.
https://store.arduino.cc/collections/boards/products/arduino-nano-rp2040-connect
These can be programmed using TinyGo.
There are some Grove sensor kits that you can use for the activity.
Ready to try this out? Go to ./sensor/arduino/ to get started.
Make your own electronic musical instruments using TinyGo and the Raspberry Pi Nano boards.
Thanks to the USB-MIDI support, you can turn your board into a tiny digital musical instrument controller.
Add buttons, sliders, a joystick, and when we say become part of the music we mean it!
Let's make beautiful music together, just go to ./musicjam/.
We have some additional bounties and prizes, you can see more information here.
We would like to add ble support for lego.
