Building machines to explore cell behavior

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Wallace Marshall

Home: California, United States

We usually think of learning and decision making as something that only animals with brains can do. but even single cells can perform a surprising array of apparently purposeful behavior, and can even show basic forms of learning. We have been building homemade devices, controlled by arduinos, that use stepper motors to deliver calibrated stimuli to cells, allowing us to monitor their response. Using these homebrew devices, we can show that cells are able to learn, and do simple experiments to explore how they learn. In this demonstration, visitors will be able to operate the devices using buttons and switches, and see the effects on cells in real time under a USB microscope. This project shows that with a few electronic parts and an arduino, you can build equipment in your garage th

Unleashing the Power of Shenzhen M5Stack

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: MASAKAZU TAKASU

Home: Hangcheng Avenue, Bao’an District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China iMakerBase, China

In this session, we will delve into the world of Shenzhen M5Stack, an ESP32 System-on-a-Chip (SoC) based all-in-one IoT prototyping tool. We believe that M5Stack is a game-changer for the DIY community, as it offers a versatile platform that enables rapid development and innovation. Throughout this talk, we will explore its open product development policy, the flourishing global community surrounding M5Stack, with a particular focus on its growth in Japan. Moreover, we aim to foster an interactive experience where we can collectively brainstorm and envision ways to enhance both the IoT prototype tool and the community itself. So, let's dive in! One of the key strengths of M5Stack is its open product development policy. The company actively encourages community participation in the design and improvement of their products. This open approach allows DIY engineers to contribute their ideas, feedback, and even develop their own modules that seamlessly integrate with the M5Stack platform. By involving the community, M5Stack ensures that their products cater to the specific needs and aspirations of DIY enthusiasts. Community Over Code, Community Over Product: M5Stack firmly believes in the mantra of 'Community over Code, Community over Product.' While the hardware and software aspects of M5Stack are important, the community is seen as the driving force behind the continuous evolution and improvement of the platform. By putting the community first, M5Stack has cultivated an environment where individuals can learn from each other, exchange ideas, and collectively push the boundaries of what is possible in IoT prototyping. Envisioning a Better IoT Prototype Tool and Community: During our session, we encourage participants to share their ideas on how M5Stack can be enhanced to address their specific needs. Are there any particular features or functionalities you would like to see? How can the platform better support your IoT projects? Additionally, we invite you to brainstorm strategies to foster an even stronger and more connected M5Stack community. What initiatives can we undertake to encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing, and skill development within the community?
