Heat, Humidity & Light with Arduino
Event Information
About this event
Are you interested in making your own electronic devices, but don't know where to start? Want to make something move? Light up some LEDs? Add a bit of interactivity to an exhibit?
In this hour-long session we will introduce you to using some basic sensors to measure temperature, humidity and light levels using the Arduino IDE's built in data-visualisation functionality and respond to changes with indicator outputs.
Both staff and students are encouraged to come along and learn something new. The Maker Space will be open for further experimentation afterwards, so you can stick around if you want.
Completing the "Getting Started" session or previous programming experience is recommended, and you will need a working University of Salford computer login. We'll provide Arduino kits to use during the workshop.
Who can attend this session?
This session is open to staff and students at the University of Salford only.
You are required to have a working University of Salford computer login.
What about COVID?
Our CAD Suite has large acrylic screens between computers and you will be well spaced from the person next to you.
Where is the Maker Space?
We're in the Newton Building on the University of Salford's Peel Park campus. Enter through the building's main entrance and head down the steps to basement rooms.
Can't make these time slots?
Don't worry, we can try and work out some other time for you. Send us an email - makerspace@salford.ac.uk - and let us know when's good for you.
