Maker Makes It

An end to end solution. That was fun - developing the software and hardware and delivering a complete solution - giving a demo. All in a day's work. Here you see the Arduino mating with a custom board delivered by ExpressPCB.com and assembled by me with parts from Digi-Key. Systems, here we come!



Of course, this is not the end. It's something I can use, but not something everyone can depend on, without doling out more TLC than they care to. Packaging is required - we need headers on the custom board to mate it with the Duemilanove with minimal effort. Plug and play is the name of the game. Anyone know how to launch a program on Win or Unix automatically when you plug something into USB? How does the PC know what you plugged in and what to launch? Good q.
