Michael Ries presented at EMPEX LA 2019, focusing on how beginners can dive into using the Nerves framework for embedded systems, specifically with projects on the Raspberry Pi. He outlined five simple starter projects to demonstrate the ease of getting into Nerves for those who may not have previous hardware experience or a clear application for Nerves in mind. The projects ranged from the hardware equivalent of 'Hello, World'—a blinking LED setup—to more complex tasks such as a secure morning alarm for his son and a sprinkler control system. Ries emphasized the approachability of the Nerves ecosystem and showcased the joy of seeing physical results from one's code. The talk showcased that with just minimal hardware and a weekend of effort, one can create functional and useful projects, motivating individuals to explore the possibilities of Nerves and the Elixir language in the embedded domain.
