I hope this is informative and of some use to some people out there aspiring to make an Arduino. Mark Wilson: Well, thank you for having me. So, Mark, thank you for accepting my invitation and I'm really looking forward to your presentation and learning more about the FlipClock. So, I invited Mark to join me in this session and show us how he did it. Peter Dalmaris: Mark admits that he enjoys coding, pushing pixels around, and horology - that's a word I really hear. It's hard to believe what Mike was able to do with just 32kB of flash memory and 2kB of RAM. What is amazing about this clock is the quantity of the animation that Mark achieved, considering the hardware limitations set he had to deal with. FlipClock is a clock powered by an Arduino Uno and a color LCD screen. Peter Dalmaris: I came across Mark's work as I was browsing Hackaday, and I was impressed by one gadget in particular, FlipClock. KENBAK-uino is powered by, of course, an ATMega328. Kenbak-1's only user interface consists of 12 LEDs and 17 switches. KENBAK-uino is Mark's implementation of an early computer of the 1970s, inspired by the Kenbak-1, a computer built in 1971. Peter Dalmaris: Mark discovered the Arduino in 2011 and started building gadgets.

His career as a software developer brought Mark to where he is now and into the world of electronics and the Arduino. Peter Dalmaris: He later completed a Master's in Physics, about which he has expressed his surprise, and became employed as a software developer.

He used this computer to code many implementations of Conway's Game of Life. And I've actually tried that myself and it is fun. Mark spent part of his younger years coding his Acorn Electron in BBC Basic and 6502 Assembly. Mark is also known by his nickname Funny Polynomial, which I quite like, actually. Peter Dalmaris: In this session, I'm really excited to introduce you to my guest maker, Mark Wilson. But most important, to help as many people as possible to enjoy the tinkering with technology and with their technology education adventures. Peter Dalmaris: My mission is to help people learn electronics programming, printed circuit board design, and lots more. I'm Peter Dalmaris, an online educator and maker, author of Maker Education Revolution, and instructor at Tech Explorations.
