This is the story of how I built a Dance Dance Revolution mat with only a yoga mat, a Raspberry Pi and conductive paint.
Side projects can be daunting if you're new to them. It takes discipline to get started, and even more so to finish. And what's even more daunting is that finishing is only the beginning of maintenance. In this talk, I'll relate my adventures coming up with dance-mat.js, the project for making a Dance Dance Revolution controller with a Raspberry Pi, conductive paint, a yoga mat, and Node.js.
