The MHVBoard is a MetaBoard/Arduino clone. This talk covers (briefly) some of the differences between the two, and looks at some projects that people have completed.

1. The MHVBoard Alastair D’Silva http://alastair.d-silva.org http://makehackvoid.com Twitter: @evildeece

2. What is it? Rapid Prototyping Platform Based on the MetaboardArduino Clone Adds TTL Serial Faster CPU More RAM

3. What can you do with it? Interact with the real world

4. What can you do with it? Make things move

5. What can you do with it? Respond to stimuli

6. What can you do with it? Play music

7. What can you do with it? Turn lights on & off

8. What can you do with it? Communicate over Radio

9. What can you do with it? Create autonomous vehicles

10. What can you do with it? Build robots to do your bidding http://www.robotliving.com/diy-robot/arduino-tweetbot/

11. What can you do with it? Automate your greenhouse http://www.instructables.com/image/F33U3RDG1ZGOD3T/Garduino-Upgrade-Now-with-more-Twitter.jpg

12. Why not an Arduino? Cheaper Faster Smarter design (simple hardware) Prototyping area Designed to teach soldering

13. Getting Started What to do first?

14. Getting Started – Blinking LED /* Blink Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly. This example code is in the public domain. */ void setup() { // initialize the digital pin as an output. // Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards: pinMode(13, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // set the LED on delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(13, LOW); // set the LED off delay(1000); // wait for a second }
