in Arduino, Linux
Got to play with a lot of hardware at LCA 2018:
ESP32 micropython programmed robot
Learned the very basics (and pains) of how to program an FPGA
MicroPython programming and handling
Protocol Analysis (1wire) with a USB protocol sniffer.
Definitely worth the time I spent, even if some miniconfs made me miss a bunch of talks, but it was worth it :)
Lolibot:
our fearless team was honest about how they do the work every year :)
Bunnie Huang was one of the attendees
FPGAs are definitely 'interesting', you can use some of the gates to emulate a CPU, and others to run bare metal code
