Jared will be discussing I2C as a bus and protocol, and will demonstrate
talking with a few I2C devices. Demos may include interfacing with an
off-the-shelf accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, and/or audio codec.

Jared runs a fledgling open hardware business, ShareBrained Technology,
where he experiments with devices for audio, time-keeping,
aeronautics/astronautics/astronomy, motor sports, and radio.
