Open Source Digital Microfluidics Bio Lab

OpenDrop is a new design for an open source digital microfludics platform for research purposes. The device uses recent electro-wetting technology to control small droplets of liquids. Potential applications are lab on a chip devices for automating processes of digital biology. How ever the present design should also open the technology to other field and allow experimentation to find new applications. Including the field of art, music, games and education.

The readme files could be a bit better in terms of giving people some basic direction on how to do things. For example, I think it would be nice to have a link to at least 1 tutorial available that perhaps does something like what is done on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9vGEFjMJ7o

There are several very cool videos on the Gaudilabs website/youtube channel, these should be enabled and explained as much as possible to show the power of the platform!

I'm a newbie with arduino and also opendrop so maybe my request is just too basic, but it would be nice to have a tutorial on a "Hello World" application on opendrop 2.0.
