I&#39;m not a David. You might have heard of me as davedarko, maybe not. Yes that is in reference to that movie with the man in a bunny suit. Like any good movie, it&#39;s set in the eighties and is about time travel!</p> <p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;">How did I get here? Back when I started studying informatics I read this &quot;little&quot; tech blog. They wrote up one hardware hack a day and I was fascinated how people made (consumer) electronics do new things. Up to that point I only dabbled with LEDs, but I soon bought my first USBASP programmer and got into programming AVRs. The first time I got featured on that &quot;little&quot; tech blog with an AVR project was an amazing feeling. It all escalated quickly and now I&#39;m sitting in a room that is dedicated for making things and filming my endeavors, which lead me to the Hack-Like-Heck contest and finally here!</p> <p style="margin:0;padding-top:8px;">In my day job I&#39;m developing, supporting and maintaining a point-of-sale system for water-skiing and wake-boarding parks - while also doing some hardware bits and 3D designs along the way. When I&#39;m not busy working on projects after hours, I&#39;m probably on the streets of Berlin playing Pokemon GO. Yes, people really still play that, here&#39;s my trainer code: 1013 8744 3543. I acquired a lot of handhelds over the years - but weirdly don&#39;t really play any of them, I just like consoles for the technical aspect. My favorite has to be the Game Boy pocket in the Japanese &quot;classic color&quot; edition.</p> <p style="clear:both;margin:0;padding:0px;padding-top:8px;">&nbsp;</p> <p style="margin:0;"><strong>Dave&#39;s Social Channel</strong></p> <p style="margin:0;padding-top:12px;">Follow Dave on: <span style="padding-right:15px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/davedarkocom/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" style="vertical-align:middle;" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2018/instagramlogo.png" /></a></span><span style="padding-right:15px;"><a href="https://twitter.com/davedarko" rel="nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" style="vertical-align:middle;" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2018/twitterlogo.png" /></a></span><span style="padding-right:15px;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/DaveDarko" rel="nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" style="vertical-align:middle;" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2018/youtubelogo.png" /></a></span><span style="padding-right:15px;"><a href="https://hackaday.io/davedarko" rel="nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" style="vertical-align:middle;" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2019/hackadaylogo.png" /></a></span></p> <p style="margin:0;padding-top:12px;"><strong>Dave&#39;s Videos:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="/search?q=e14p_DD">See all of Dave&#39;s element14 presents Episodes</a></li> </ul><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: dploeger, davedarko, vcp program, dave ploeger, davedarko - dave plöeger</div> https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/vcp-program/w/documents/4110/vcp-biography-dave/revision/1Wed, 06 Oct 2021 21:52:03 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:21df9277-667f-4ec2-8422-db4af1c7f216pchanhttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/vcp-program/w/documents/4110/vcp-biography-dave#commentsRevision 1 posted to Documents by pchan on 10/6/2021 9:52:03 PM<br /> <div style="background:#ffffff;padding:14px 16px 16px 18px;margin:0;vertical-align:top;border:1px solid #dadada;"><div style="float:left;display:inline-block;padding:0px 25px 8px 0px;"><a href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/"><img alt="image" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2018/e14PresentsJune818.png" width="180px" /></a></div><div style="display:inline-block;vertical-align:top;width:70%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:18px;">davedarko </span><p style="margin:0;"><span><a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/" style="color:#f17c0e;">element14 Presents</a></span>&nbsp; <strong>|</strong>&nbsp; <span style="padding-right:5px;"><a class="jivecontainerTT-hover-container jive-link-community-small" href="/challengesprojects/element14-presents/vcp-program/" style="color:#f17c0e;">VCP Program</a></span></p></div></div><p style="margin:0;padding:0px;clear:both;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin:0;font-size:18px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:6px;">Dave </p><p style="margin:0;float:left;padding:0px 12px 8px 0px;vertical-align:top;"><a href="/e14/assets/legacy/2019/davedarkoPart.png"><img loading="lazy" alt="image" class="nolightbox" src="/e14/assets/legacy/2019/davedarkoPart.png" style="border:1px solid #dadada;" /></a></p><p style="margin:0;">Hi, my name is Dave.
