A one-day introduction to Arduino workshop hosted by Edinburgh Hacklab. This is the forth running of the workshop with the first three selling-out!
Here are a few comments from past workshop attendees:
"A nice friendly environment to learn." "The fact that it was totally new to me and I learnt a lot. The support - friendly and interested and did not make me feel a noob :P" "Loved it! More!"Arduino is a micro-controller platform designed for ease of use and learning. It allows the creation of electronically controlled projects, whether it be simple blinking lights, a robot or a music generator.
This workshop is aimed at beginners. You don't needs any previous electronics or programming knowledge or experience. Topics covered include:
- An introduction to the Arduino
- Using electronic components to build circuits
- Input and output
- Generating sound
- Expanding your Arduino

If you already have an Arduino you can bring that along and just purchase a kit, otherwise choose the option to buy an Arduino and kit. All the other electronic components you need are provided in the kit. You will need to bring a laptop to program the Arduino with.
The workshop will take place from 11am to about 5:30pm, with a break for lunch. Tea and coffee will be provided, Summerhall has a cafe for food or you're welcome to bring a packed lunch.
