With Phidgets, a bit of Python, and a Raspberry Pi, your students can start building custom controllers for their computers. It’s an easy introduction into the world of Human-Computer Interaction. How do you pass input from a physical button to a program? How do you send feedback visually to your users? This session will cover how to create a custom controller for the computer game “StepMania” on Raspberry Pi. At the end, you’ll be able to show students how they can control a Linux desktop app via a Phidgets starter kit.
