Netduino Go
is designed for much more than toy projects, but one has
to recognize that toy projects are fun and also great
learning experiences. Today, I want to take you through
the process of reproducing the behavior of a famous toy
that you will surely recognize. That toy, that has
helped many of us realize what poor motor skills we
possess, has two knobs that control the horizontal and
vertical coordinates of a pen that draws into the dust
on the back of a simple screen. It’s a great mechanical
device that is part of western culture.
