HSC2011/Building your own EduBuzzer

Part of the HSC2011 documentation

In order to build an EduBuzzer, you'll need

• 

  a bunch of electronic parts you can obtain from your supplier of choice,

• 

  equipment for etching a two sided PCB (as an alternative, you can order it just as well -- we didn't etch ours),

• 

  a rapid prototyper (3D printer, e.g. a makerbot),

• 

  a lasercutter for cutting 5mm transparent acryl sheet (if unavailable, a rapid prototyper with transparent substrate will work as well),

• 

  soldering equipment,

• 

  screws with driver (what made you guess our hardware design is not 100% finished in that part?),

• 

  a programmer for AVR microcontrollers (any AVR microcontroller with a bootloader will do, especially an Arduino -- c.f. the Arduino ISP tutorial) with appropriate software, e.g. avrdude,

• 

  and a copy of the EduBuzzer software and hardware description from the project download page.
