27. Making a dimmer switch with an Arduino by Carl Peto. Carl has spent 20 or 30 years working with all kinds of computer tech he could get my hands on. From big machines back in the 90s down to little shiny phones you hold in your hand nowadays. Writing iOS since pretty much the first iPhones, my day job is Swift fanatic with a dash of objective C and a side interest in "IoT". He is currently working at a startup specialising in high tech IoT projects. And Arduino and Pi have been his side interest for ages. Half of his flat is connected to one prototype or another. @carl_the_dev
