Arduino community Artists & Designers Developers

I make and sell my own boards I make a living out of using Arduino in my work I use Arduino as part of my final project I am a total beginner Scale of the audience Different levels with different expectations Beginners look to the more advanced users for inspiration

Sharing and protecting How to we get creative people to talk about their tools? Is there a CC-like model for this?

Completed Code Components project Documenting It takes time and it’s not only code Is there an Instructables-like standard for this?

Meeting new people Beyond forums Is face to face the only way?

Manufacturing is easy Well, easier. Creating a community around your product isn’t.

I’m only here for the day! Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino // alex@tinker.it Come talk to me!
