A few questions to be answered before delving into the topic
• What is Hacking?• Is Hacking “ethical” or “unethical”?
www.nukelabs.in
7
HackingFinding a simple solution for a
complex problem
www.nukelabs.in
8
Now what about the ETHICS.??
www.nukelabs.in
9
Let’s begin the day with a ‘Hacked-up’ thought !!
www.nukelabs.in
10
A question for you guys!
www.nukelabs.in
11
HackingSoftware or Hardware?
www.nukelabs.in
12
Software + Hardware
How about this ?! ;-)
www.nukelabs.in
13
And you think this gives you power over everything else?!

14www.nukelabs.in
15
Embedded = Hardware + Software
www.nukelabs.in
16
Hardware Kickstart
• Why hardware?• Why design your own hardware?• Isn’t it tough?
www.nukelabs.in
17
But how do I get to learn about electronics?
• Internet • A very good source for learning the basics and
also some advanced stuff, in an interesting way - http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/
• Join Hackerspaces• Join related forums, mailing lists

Setting up your Home Laboratory

19
Stuff you must have
• Digital Multimeter
• BreadBoard
• Wire Stripping Pliers
www.nukelabs.in
20
Stuff you must have (contd..)
• Jumper Wires
• Needle-Nose Pliers
• Screwdrivers
www.nukelabs.in
21
Stuff you must have (contd..)
• Soldering Iron and Solder
• Utility Knife
• Wire (Multi-stranded as well as single stranded)
www.nukelabs.in
22
Stuff you must have (contd..)
• Power Source (either a 9V battery or get a bench power
supply)
www.nukelabs.in
Or
23
Stuff you must have (contd..)
• LEDs (Light Emitting Diode)
• Resistors
• Capacitors
www.nukelabs.in
24
Stuff you must have (contd..)
• A small Loudspeaker
• A few ICs (integrated circuits)
• And few other components as and when the need arises
www.nukelabs.in
25
Stuff you must have (contd..)
• General purpose PCB (printed circuit board)
www.nukelabs.in
26
Now what to do in my lab?
• Start building simple circuits like tone generators, basic audio amplifier, blinking lights, etc.. on the breadboard
• That will help you learn how to place the components before wiring them together and troubleshooting techniques
• Learn soldering; practise it• Implement the same old circuits on a general
purpose PCB (printed circuit board)

27
Done with the basics!!So what’s next!?
www.nukelabs.in
28
How about some Microcontrollers ?
www.nukelabs.in
29
Highlights
• The ‘software’ FUN of hacking, kicks in here• Amazing things possible• Your imagination is the only limit to what you
can build with microcontrollers• Gives you the SUPREME POWER of controlling
real world parameters
