Phoenix’s HeatSync Labs will host HackPHX Arduino, an all-day and all-night Arduino hackathon tomorrow, March 2, from 10am-10:15pm. Here’s how it will go down: In a ode to Iron Chef, 50 participants will be split into 10 teams for 12 hours to create something awesome from an Arduino, a “secret ingredient,” and the hackerspace’s resources.
