The title comes from the Spaceballs quote: "I've lost the bleeps, I've lost the sweeps, and I've lost the creeps."

As said in the abstract my main motivation to get started with TinyGo was my son who loves the real-world objects that he can click and make noises or see some blinking lights or any kind of visual feedback where he can learn that something he does can lead to some results he didn't anticipate while having fun in the process.

Even though I'm proud of his initiative and sense of discovery, I'm also afraid of him losing or misusing these same objects so I decided to try and craft some replacements that he can enjoy and that I can worry less about.

As a beginner in TinyGo and electronics I'll start by introducing:
- the basics concepts I learned about the circuits
- why I chose TinyGo compared to other mainstream languages in the microcontroller field
- the tools and code I use to create the objects
- and the resources that helped me along the way

And most importantly, I will show live the tools I created to inspire the attendees that getting started with TinyGo can be simple and fun.

When it comes to toys my 2‑year‑old, loves the real-world object: car keys, remote controllers, door-opening cards or even credit cards: life with him is quite an adventure!

So I set up to learn TinyGo and craft some objects that get as close as possible to the things he loves with buttons, lights, sounds and an high level of interaction, so that I can replace those "dangerous" real-world objects with them.

Follow me in my "dad project" rabbit hole and learn how to get started with TinyGo and why I chose it compared to other mainstream languages like Python and C. As a beginner in electronics I'll also share some of the lessons I learned:
- the basics concepts I learned about the circuits
- the tools I use to create them
- the small wins and the walls I hit
- and the resources that helped me overcome most difficulties.

All of it, while explaining the details of the work I have created and how to set up everything you so that you can reproduce it as well, so, if you're curious about what you can achieve with TinyGo today and how you can (try to) make your little one happy, this is the talk for you.
