Talk @ Nullcon

I am giving talk at Nullcon 2012 (Hackers and Security Conference - www.nullcon.net)

Microcontroller has got my attention in these some days and I am trying to work micro-controller for various projects.

Here is abstract of my talk that would be in NullCon 2012

--- Teensy for Fun and Jugaad ---

Lots of people might have already came across the Teensy USB development board.

If not then Teensy is usb development board which contains microcontroller from the ATMEGA family. This development board has built in USB connectivity to interface with PC.

It is currently famous for its ability to act as USB Keybord and Mouse and send commands as per preprogrammed in its microcontroller. Talks are being given in security conferences worldwide (like defcon / blackhat) demonstrating how Teensy can be programmed and used as attack vector in Penetration Testing.

But opposite to the trend this paper will NOT show teensy as attack vector. But it will show using Teensy as Interfacing circuit. This talk will present an idea to Control PC Applications as well as control mouse through TV Remote Control.

This talk will demonstrate IR Receiver Circuit with Teensy and will give brief idea about some other interfacing possible using the Teensy Development board. The circuit itself is very simple. Talk will also show how this circuit can be used with most of the TV remote just by changing small code in the program
