Getting Started with Embedded Systems + PCB Fabrication


Details
The first of our upcoming series of Embedded Systems Design workshops! Join us this coming Sunday 6th November, 2016 for a practical, HANDS-ON, introduction to basic embedded systems design as we prototype a simple electronics circuit using the Atmel ATtiny microcontroller from Breadboard --> CAD Layout (Digital Circuit Design) --> Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Fabrication.
WHAT: Intro to Embedded Systems Design and PCB Fabrication
WHEN: Sunday 6th November, 2016
TIME: 10AM - 6PM
WHERE: THE Workshop (www.the-workshop.in (http://www.the-workshop.in/))
COST: INR 1800/- per person
Please Register @ https://www.payumoney.com/events/#/buyTickets/embeddedsystems
DETAILS:
Each participant gets to take their finished PCB products home with them and will receive personalized instruction on how to single-handedly create successful electronics prototypes using PCB etching techniques after having completed a detailed CAD model of the same printed circuit board model.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
-
Circuit Design using Breadboard Prototypes
-
Firmware Design for Atmel ATtiny Microcontrollers
-
CAD design for Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) using CadSoft Eagle
-
Safe and Accurate PCB Fabrication using Etching processes
--> We aim to have this workshop be the "First" and "Last" session you will ever need on the subject of transferring an idea of a circuit design to a working prototype!
AGENDA:
-
10.00 - 10.30: Welcome to THE Workshop, Tea and Coffee
-
10.30 - 11.30: Interactive Intro to "Thinking about Embedded Systems" with microcontrollers, serial communications and the role Arduino also plays in the ecosystem
-
11.30 - 13.00: Circuit Design Explained using Breadboard and PerfBoard models, getting setup for PCB Design using Eagle CAD software
13.00 - 14.00: Lunch Break
14.00 - 16.00: PCB Design Exercises using the Cadsoft Eagle platform, understanding tricks and techniques on how to maximize efficiency from CAD to CAM
16.00 - 18.00: PCB Fabrication Process Induction and Individual Etching of boards designed by participants.
NOTES:
-
This is a 1-day only workshop targeted towards beginners and those interested in learning how to go beyond the breadboard level of electronics prototyping and understand what options they have available to them also beyond Arduino
-
We are positioning this workshop as "The Ideal Introduction to Embedded Systems and PCB Fabrication" -- our hope is that people of any background and skill level will be able to successfully understand (simple) circuit theory and translate it from an idea to a working prototype.
