Thinking out of the box can help inspire innovation especially when applying new technology to the mix.

Miniature computing with the Raspberry Pi & Arduino’s combined with innovative applications can create new products and solve problems for you, your team & your customers.

Look out the window, and you will see chaos all around you. Society has broken down, crashed cars burn, and evidence of desperate attempts to escape the contagion litters the streets. There is no Internet, no power, and no law.

In this webcast, Simon Monk (LinkedIn profile) will discuss his new book The Maker’s Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse and highlight some of the Raspberry Pi, Arduino and other projects within the book and how they could help you survive in a post-apocalyptic world.

This webcast will highlight:

Taking charge of the environment:

  • Monitor zombie movements with trip wires and motion sensors
  • Keep vigilant watch over the compound with surveillance cameras
  • Power anti-zombie systems with car batteries, bicycle generators, and solar power

Escape imminent danger:

  • Repurpose old disposable cameras for zombie-distracting flashbangs
  • Open doors remotely for a successful sprint home
  • Prevent disasters with fire and smoke detectors

Communicate with other survivors:

  • Hail nearby humans with Morse code
  • Pass silent messages with two-way vibration walkie-talkies
  • Scan radio stations with an automatic frequency hopper
