Arduino from the Ground Up
ADC & Temperature Measurement
A true introduction; no prior knowledge assumed. Learn what Arduino is, what you can use it for, how to go about it, and whether pigs have wings.
An introduction to analog-to-digital conversion with Arduino and an in-depth look at thermistors and thermocouples, two analog sensors used to measure temperature.
Tuesday, Mar 5 6:30pm-8:30pm
Tuesday, Mar 19 6:30pm-8:30pm
Arduino: Software
Interfacing with Motors
Learn to create, modify, install, and debug Arduino software “sketches,” and how to extend functionality using libraries.
Motors are the Arduino's primary means of interfacing with the physical environment, yet they can be surprisingly fiddly. Learn about the hidden pitfalls and how to avoid them.
Tuesday, Apr 2 6:30pm-8:30pm
Tuesday, Apr 23 6:30pm-8:30pm
Arduino: Hardware
An overview of basic electronics that will teach you how not to fry your Arduino. Lights, sounds, and switches for input and output will all be discussed.
Wireless Communications
Network your Arduino using common wireless protocols like ZigBee, Bluetooth and wifi, and make things flash, buzz, or move through the magic of radio.
Attendance is open to the public; if you're interested in Arduino, we hope to see you there! Our workshops are totally free, but donations are gratefully accepted.
