• Seminar - The BUG

Ken Gilmer, Bug Labs., USA

Ken Gilmer is the head of software development at Bug Labs and is responsible for the software platform to enable entirely new applications and gadgets. At the tender age of 11, shortly after probing the inner workings of the 555 timer, Ken discovered (with the help of an abandoned TI 99/4A) that building systems is easier in software than in hardware, and he's been hooked ever since (but not to his TI 99/4A). He firmly believes machines can have souls and he´s working hard at Bug Labs to make it happen (again). In addition to BUG, he also contributes to several open source projects, and also enjoys cycling to work immersed amongst chaotic NYC motorists.

BUG Lab

This tutorial will cover writing and running interesting applications using modular hardware and OSGi.  First a brief overview of the BUG, OSGi, and the SDK.  From there we will write a simple camera application and run it on a BUG.  Once completing this, we will examping the hardware module APIs and branch off into individual application development.  Would-be attendees would have a good working knowledge of Java, some familiarity with Eclipse, and an interest in fun, creative, hardware-based applications!
