I’m watching this video presentation by David Rowe (who did the very successful OSH telephony/Asterisk box) He talks about the beginning of the project, how he made it into a finished project and collaborated with others to take it to manufacture. So far I’m halfway through and its really good with excellent information and advice
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Hi ladyada,
This was a great presentation. He has a link to an earlier talk he did on his website, but the link is broken. Here is the new link: http://lca2008.linux.org.au/programme/wednesday
I interviewed David in an effort to get a story about him done in Make Magazine (at least a Maker Profile), but no one ever got back to me 🙁
He does amazing work.
