my name is die I'm originally from
Israel I lived in the Silicon Valley now
in my day job I'm a software engineer at
Google and in my spare time I'm doing
fun projects with software and hardware
I developed gyro board that allows you
to very easily connect Android devices
to external electronics and I have in my
booth here a lot of projects around this
theme how you can use Android is the
brain of your embedded application the
reactions have been very positive some
people have already heard of the i/o
board other people for them it's the
first interaction so I have a couple of
small demo applications here that show
you how easy it is to use and what kind
of things you might be able to do with
it so that history plotter is actually
started building it before last year's
maker faire and then made improvements
for them for that over the years so it's
a pretty simple string floral design
because to pull is here pulling strings
with stepper motors driving them in
through the yo-yo board the Android
tablets can control these pulleys and in
thus get the marker to get to any
position of the paper
and I developed a couple of different
algorithms for how to take real-life
images and convert them into vector
plots that deploring can make in this
particular example I'm trying to
approximate the original image by just
pseudo-random lines it's all one single
stroke and it ends up looking very
similar to the original image when
viewed from a distance the best thing
about Maker Faire for me is the ability
to meet people see how they respond to
the project that I'm building
sparkly sparking interesting
conversations about technology and about
the possibilities also seeing what
people don't like about my product so
any feedback is good
I get really to sense the syrup users
that produce my stuff and I get to get a
lot of you know energy from the positive
feedback that I'm getting
