In the code, setting pin D11 HIGH and changing it's mode to INPUT means that it won't interfere with the analog read of pin A0. The on-board piezo buzzer is a s...

hi All,

A list of most of the Australian HackerSpaces ... http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Australia

Typically, they are all good places to hang-out with like-minded people ... and learn about Arduino, etc.

hi All, A number of people at the Melbourne HackerSpace (http://hackmelbourne.org) are working on Android / Arduino projects using the USBDroid, including myself. We do have end-to-end software working with the USBDroid. To build a complete application in this area involves several learning curves, ...

hi All, Stuart, Peter, Rob and John who regularly attend Melbourne HackerSpace meetings are effectively the core of the MRRUG. Stuart holds periodic meetings specifically for 3D printer enthusiasts, where up-to 20 printers may be seen (in various states of completion). Nearly every weekly Melbourne ...

There is a lot of detailed documentation, driver code and appl...
