Revision as of 16:15, 30 January 2013

This page serves two purposes. First, it should serve to help us coordinate advertising for our Arduino Class Series in the 1st quarter of 2013. Second, it should serve as a place where we can preserve our presentations, flyers, and other materials related to these classes.

Class Descriptions/Materials

Arduino: From the Ground Up

Tue 2/5 @ 6:30 Presenter: Issac Merkle

For the past five years, the Arduino platform has dominated hobby electronics. Cheap, easy to use, and readily available, Arduino has made microcontrollers accessible to neophytes while remaining powerful enough for seasoned hackers.

But what, exactly, is Arduino? What can it do, and how can it be made to do it? What are its strengths and limitations? Which hardware should one buy, and why?

This workshop will answer all of these questions and more, providing attendees with the familiarity and understanding needed to purchase and begin working with Arduino.

No prior knowledge of Arduino is required; if you're just getting started - or are interest in getting started - this class is for you.

ADC and Temperature Measurement

Arduino: Software

Interfacing with Motors

Arduino: Hardware
