So here is a little run down of my first attempt at playing with interactive multimedia computer stuff. Heard of Arduino? It's a tiny little micro computer that has limitless possibilities. So, basically, having no idea what any of this stuff does, I 'hacked' (a new word in my lexicon, in this context anyway) a broken old Dalek toy I found on a market stall for 50p, and made it sing and dance to my tune. Pointless? Certainly. Fun? definitely. A huge learning curve. Just for the record, they are paying me to do this...
