Integrating Flash with Hardware

With the continually decreasing cost of hardware, and the trend  towards open source, it is now easier to get started with electronics  than ever before. The next obvious step is to connect your electronics  project to the Flash Platform – but how? In this session get an overview of two prototyping platforms (Phidgets and Arduino) and  
instruction on how to leverage them from Adobe AIR and Flash. We’ll explore various components and sensors along the way, ranging from photocells and servos, to weather stations and RFID.
