Learn this one simple trick to create a gaming platform! Kevin Bates, founder of the Arduboy, talks about the creation, design, manufacture, sales and eventual profit of the Arduboy. Bates will share how he avoided pitfalls, and provide alternative solutions he learned from others along the way. The talk will also include how to plan for success, and how to manage what you didn’t.

![Teardown Session 46: Thunderscope Launch with Aleksa Bjelogrlic
** Many thanks to this Teardown Sessions sponsor: AMD! **
In this episode of the Teardown Sessions, Crowd Supplys Helen Leigh celebrates the launch of the Thunderscope oscilloscope with Aleksa Bjelogrlic.
*About ThunderScope*
ThunderScope packs the power of expensive, bulky high-end oscilloscopes into a portable and affordable package. While traditional scopes are limited by their built-in processing capabilities and cramped user interfaces, ThunderScope is designed to stream the complete 1 GS/s of sample data in real time to your computer for processing and analysis. ThunderScope’s fast connections (via Thunderbolt, USB 4, and PCI Express) and unique software-defined architecture allows it to be used for everything from simple measurements to complex protocol analysis.
*About Our Guest*
[Via Hackaday] Aleksa is an electrical engineer who loves test equipment and open-source hardware. For the last several years, he combined those two passions to design an open-source oscilloscope from the ground up to be faster, more flexible, and accessible to all.
