This week has led up to an event called HackMIT. The event is a hackathon. Where students gather together to tool away at a variety of projects using different software tools and hardware options. One of the main goals for "hackers" at the event is to successfully win a prize offer by a company at the event.
This year, I built IoTaser. It's basically operating a potted, high voltage inverter using a Particle Photon board. The phone app native to the Photon allows me to send pins high/low on the controller which operates a series of MOSFETS in the device to charge a boost converter.
