How Beginners Can Start Hardware Hacking Today (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: OpenAI posted about how hardware is the new software, and so in light of this, I wanted to share some of the tips that I have as a beginner into hardware hacking. So my first tip is to not be afraid to be a beginner. Everyone starts somewhere, and in fact, most of my hardware experiments started off looking very dodgy and very sketchy. You can build a simple experiment, like making LEDs flash, playing around with Arduinos or ESP32s. You can build something that solves a problem in your life. I've seen people build dashboards with little screens for their daily to-dos or just the weather. And that leads me into the second tip, which is to get one of these starter kits. You can get them fairly cheaply for like 50 bucks, and it comes with a lot of the pieces that you need to build that first project of yours. So my kit, for example, comes with a speaker, it comes with LED bulbs. You can just get a kit and get hacking as soon as possible. From one beginner to another, I wish you all the best. Bye.
