More people than ever-from artists, makers and entrepreneurs to educators and students-are connecting microcontrollers with sensors and actuators to create new interactive devices. However, physical computing still presents many challenges and demands many skills, spanning electronics, low-level protocols, and software-road blocks that reduce participation. While USB has made connecting peripherals to a personal computing device (PC) trivial, USB components are expensive and require a PC to operate. This makes USB impractical for many physical computing scenarios where cost, size and low power operation are often important.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/plug-and-play-physical-computing-with-jacdac/}, journal = {Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies}, volume = {6}, number = {3}, }
