David Lynch

My name is David Lynch and I am the inventor of Sabertron, Foam Swords with Electronic Scoring. I created a Kickstarter campaign that was funded in June of 2014 for $233,852, which made it the 12th highest grossing Kickstarter project to date from Austin, Texas. Since then, I have been hard at work making Sabertron “a thing” and learning a ton about the embedded design and development process that makes these kinds of gadgets tick. I have been working as a full-time computer engineering professional since the last century. I have worked on PC architectures from mobile to server, on cutting-edge high speed digital interfaces such as DDR and HyperTransport and utilizing oscilloscopes and other high end measurement equipment while developing software to automate the process. I’ve had a wide breadth of experience in both hardware and software. Yet, it was difficult for me to get up and running with embedded design and development. It shouldn’t be this hard, and it doesn’t have to be that way. I will be your guide to help you come up to speed quickly and help you gain a more complete understanding than what I had to endure.
