Basic Arduino programming using Trinket and LEDs

This workshop will cover basic Arduino programming for controlling an RGB LED using sensor data with the tiny but powerful Trinket (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1501) microcontroller.

If you are interested in adding light with controlled behavior to a project but have yet to work with Arduino, this workshop will give you a good base from which to expand your knowledge.

The cost is $39 per person for a 3 hour workshop plus materials including Trinket and RGB LEDs. All participants must bring a laptop with the free Arduino software installed. Software can be downloaded here (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software). Participants are welcome to arrive early for help installing the software if needed.

Participants can bring a guest, provided they RSVP for the guest as well. Children under 18yo can register/attend, provided a parent or legal guardian attends the workshop with them.

The Women's Electronics Workshop is committed to providing a safe space for electronics enthusiasts who identify as female or genderqueer. This event is open to everyone.
