304: ADC Channel Six

What do you get when you connect the open-source reverse engineer of Valve's Steam Controller and the main electrical engineer of said device?

Jeff Keyzer (@mightyohm) and Gregory Gluszek (@greggersaurus) join us to talk about building and taking apart devices.

Greg's project is on github as the OpenSteamController. He used pinkySim, an ARM simulator.

Jeff has left Valve and is now a freelance engineer as well as selling kits on mightyohm.com. The incredibly useful comic on how to solder lives there: mightyohm.com/soldercomic

I-Opener was the computer discussed.
