00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,100
>> I heard about this <span class='arduino'>arduino</span> project,

2
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:18,000
and I saw it online - 

3
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:20,100
- and I said 'Wow! a lot of people are starting to talk about this.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,100
I should check it out!'

5
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:30,100
>> Because we wanted to make a tool for our students

5
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:32,100
that was more modern than what was available on the market at that moment.

6
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:33,306
>> For me it was a case of -

7
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:38,500
this is a tool that I could see using <em>myself</em>,

8
00:00:33,306 --> 00:00:38,500
and therefore I could believe in actually helping to get it out to a wider world.

9
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:49,500
>> Open source hardware means

10
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:51,500
to take back control of what is inside things.

11
00:00:49,500 --> 00:00:53,000
>> We wanted it to be open source -

12
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,000
so everybody could come out, help, and contribute.

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,000
>> For me, that's about giving people the information they need

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:05,000
to recreate the piece of hardware for themselves.

15
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
>> I'm really passionate about <span class='arduino'>arduino</span>... 

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
because I really care about understanding more about how the world works.

17
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:13,000
>> My advisors said that... there would come the day

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
when there is more computers than people.

19
00:01:14,463 --> 00:01:20,100
If every computer had a keyboard and mouse... and a screen,

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,100
it would be impossible to command our lives.

11
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:29,300
>> Then we started to figure out that there was a way to get a very nice ecosystem of people...

12
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:33,400
...participating, and making extensions... making derivatives... and helping...

13
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:41,400
>> So it's kind of like I'm taking one step up a ladder. And then I'm helping other people go further up the ladder.

14
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:47,700
>> So... we had to simplify the interface. And that's the beginning of a completely new way of looking at... computation.

16
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,800
>> The very first thing I tried to do with an <span class="arduino">arduino</span> was run a 3D printer.

17
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,500
>> ...so I make moving cakes and singing cakes...

18
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:00,100
>> So we make puppets with the <span class='arduino'>arduino</span>...

19
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:04,120
>> One of my students is building a guitar.

20
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,200
>> Here's a... here's a robot...

21
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,400
>> If I tilt, you see the light goes left - if I go up...

22
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,400
>> Many people have built helicopters with four or six motors.

23
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:22,100
>> Suddenly a message arrived telling us that <span class="arduino">arduino</span>...

24
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,000
>> And obviously I said OK... this is just too much.

25
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
>>It ended up being a 17 year old who made the satellite.
