We will send 10 winners a copy of Enrico's book along with a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino depending on Your Project Proposal! Upcycling is the act of taking something no longer in use and giving it a second life and new function. In doing so, the finished product often becomes more practical, valuable and beautiful than what it previously was. This 3 part workshop will introduce you to upcycling, explore a series of projects that involve upcycling, and encourage you to build your own upcycling project. Join us for a hands-on workshop with Enrico Miglino, in support of his upcoming book, Vintage Upcycling with Raspberry Pi and Arduino. We encourage you to follow along as Enrico will walk you through a series of upcycling projects and take you contentimage_144862.jpg-204x306.jpg?sv=2016-05-31&sr=b&sig=Az8vAoXjLNppOkj%2FlRFRje81oDXjaxtP2JOQFUyWoQo%3D&se=2026-05-08T23%3A59%3A59Z&sp=r&_=RB8BIkQ+zq0AM1RQQR6I+A== from Zero to Hero upcycling using the Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Over the course of three sessions, you'll be introduced to the concept of upcycling, and we'll walk you through everything you need to know to get started on your own upcycling project. No experience required. After each workshop Enrico will be available to answer any questions you have as you work on your own upcycling project using something vintage. We will be giving away up to 10 copies of Enrico's new book along with either a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino depending on your project proposal. To win comment below to: let us know what vintage tech you want to upgrade using a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino. how you will use a Raspberry Pi or an Arduino in an upcycling project. register and attend the workshop live or On-Demand The goal of the workshop is to inspire you to do projects on the community. You can watch this workshop On Demand and show us YOUR vintage upcycling project during the Project14 theme, Recycle & Retrofit ! Old Radios and old game consoles come to mind but you are invited to take any unused appliance and upcycling it using electronics of your choice! Attend this workshop to get ideas for your own upcycling project using a Raspberry or Arduino. When you are ready to submit your completed project submit your project in the Recycle & Retrofit in Project14 or a blog on the community and use the tag RecycleRetrofitCH . Session 2: During this session Enrico will walk you through what you need to know to follow along with Radio Magic project which was the his Grand Prize winner in the Hardware Hacking competition from Project14 : Radio Magic: Sounds Nice? (part 1) Radio Magic: Circuits and Some Solution (part 2) Radio Magic: I Need a Case! (part 3) Radio Magic: Hardware Hacked, But New Tech Failed a While (part 4) Radio Magic is a strange kind of project: it includes hardware hacking, analog circuitry, and – after about half a century time-jump – modern microcontroller technology and embedded Linux. The project involved a considerable amount of experimentation, finding the right (= cheaper and simpler) way to meet two electronics eras in a single musical project. Possibly with something original. The idea in a few words can be expressed in a single sentence: Making Music . This project involved a considerable bit of improvisation and involved: Using analog components Hacking an AM-FM-LW mid-60s transistor radio as part of the sound machine (this is upcycling too) Tracking a border between vintage and modern technology and possibly smoothly join the two worlds.

I have always had a special interest in electronics and communication. I had the chance to start working in the era of the first Personal Computers, just few years before their massive introduction, and very soon I started acquiring knowledge about hardware and software. I developed researches, patented hardware and software-integrated technologies, wrote technical articles on several technical papers in Italy and more. During the last decade I developed software and firmware for embedded devices, new products for Android, Mac and Linux. Before the Android massive diffusion, I had been developing software as Nokia developer focusing my experience on the Qt development platforms on desktops and Symbian devices. My approach to Electronics and circuit projects involving hardware and circuit creation is strongly oriented to microcontrollers, from small devices to the computer-like micro as the well-known ARM processors family. I definitely avoid two things: redundance (i.e. making projects more complex than can be done) and excess of complexity (i.e. a great solution should be simple and cheap, otherwise it is not a great solution). For this reasons I frequently rethink projects or create new ones in order to make products and prototypes market-affordable and as cheap as possible without compromising quality.
