[osflash] Flash + Arduino - writing hardware drivers for RFID reader

[Alias™]

HI guys,

A couple of people asked me whether I'd be posting videos of a
workshop I did a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd post it to the list.

Basically, it's a hardware driver written in AS3, which controls an
RFID reader via and Arduino board, which can read standard London
Underground Oyster™ cards.

Check it out here:

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the list.

Cheers,
Alias



I've done a blog post with a video of my presentation at the workshop,

>  "Lead by Alias Cummins and assisted by Brock Craft, this workshop is
>  aimed at people who are comfortable with Flash, and want to start
>  experimenting/working with Arduino, but have little or no experience
>  of physical computing. The workshop will focus on getting them through
>  the first few steps, which are usually the most difficult, and give
>  them the tools and knowledge to continue learning on their own.

>  First, you will quickly cover the basics of getting your Arduino
>  connected up and writing simple programs and finally getting Flash to
>  talk to an integrated circuit via Arduino. All the while you will be
>  approaching this from a flash perspective, with our primary
>  development language being ActionScript 3.
>  What do I need to bring?

>  - A laptop
>  NB: Prior Knowledge of electronics is not necessary to attend this
