Join us live for a chat with the authors of Make: Vol. 99 about hot new boards for 2027, and what it takes to build an adorable Star Wars duck droid!
We’ll dive into the trends for boards in 2027 and talk about diverse new offerings of ESP32 boards from Espressif and talk to Arduino’s Head of Content Mike Senese about their new powerhouse Ventuno Q. Plus, we’ll talk with ILM CG supervisor Will Muto and Lucasfilm Asset Coordinator Crew Parker about building working Star Wars-style control panels. And we’ll hear from Bency Liu about his XGO-Duck robot article — now you can build your own BDX-style droid and train it with reinforcement learning simulations!
