Bay Area Maker Faire 2012

I'm giving a talk and demo of Arduino there on Saturday in the Makershed at 7:30 pm.

I will also be around on the McGraw-Hill stand. It would be good to put a face to some of the Arduino Forum folk.

Oh Marketing - what would we do without it :wink:

If you see anyone from the Arduino firm there at the show, can you ask them for us what's up with the Arduino 32 bit overDue board?

Will do!

Personally, I quite like my microcontrollers 8-bit and slow.

Si.

Me too, and I'm a little concerned that adding a 32 bit board to the platform will somehow stretch and dilute attention away from the outstanding success the arduino platform has been for us hobbyist. Oh well they have committed to it so we shall see what we shall see.

No need to be concerned as there are allready plenty excellent 32-bit boards out there, even doing good business "but most lack the charm of the minimalism"
