Arduino workshop for beginners

workshop : physical computing : arudino

13 March, 2012 00:00 - 14 March, 2012 00:00 18:00 - 21:30

part of project: Hobilabor

presented by Hobilabor

5.00€

The idea of this workshop is to introduce electronics, the Arduino open source micro-controller platform and it’s possibilities to partipiciants. Arduino is a little computer that everybody can program to work with different sensor and actuators. You can create robots, synthesizers, alarms or something rather peculiar.

The workshop is primarily intended for those who are not familiar with electronics and Arduino.

Age limit 16y - 999y

NB! Bring your own computer. Arduinos and parts for the workshop are provided by Hobilabor.

Workshop price is 5€ -- (you can pay on the spot in cash).

Objectives

To introduce the Arduino hardware
To introduce the Arduino IDE (Software)
To introduce the Arduino language (code)
Demonstrate through practical tasks how Arduino communicates with the outside world using sensors and other input / output devices
To have fun!

Schedule

13th - 14 March is the Arduino (arduino.cc) workshop for beginners (programming skills, etc. in the field of electronics are not necessary).

First day:

Examine the Arduino platform and possibilities
Demonstration projects and demo
Hands on: learning the Arduino language, write the first program and upload it on the Arduino microcontroller
first experiements with sensors

Second day:

Learning to code and experiment with different sensors and actuators
Participants can choose the project they want to experiment with themselves
The more courageous can try to build something by themselves
All participants will present their projects

This workshop is led by Rene Rebane. Rene has graduated from Estonian Academy of Arts graphic design in 2010. One of Hobilabor’s founders and has created many different electronics workshops with Toomas Savi.
