Basic Arduino Class

This class is a basic introduction to physical computing with Arduino.

To keep things simple and explain things at length, we have limited the number of topics in this class to the very basics. Our goal is to cover less material than any previous Arduino class in the history of electronics. Sign up for this class if that sounds appealing to you.

Some experience with electronics, programming, or both, is useful, but not required.

You will learn:

• How to connect the Arduino to your computer

• How to blink an LED

• How to read input from a pushbutton and a thermistor

• How to approach more advanced topics and attach other sensors and actuators

The class fee includes a parts kit with an Arduino compatible board and all the other parts you need. You MUST bring a laptop running Windows, Linux or Mac OS X that is capable of running Arduino. No refunds will be given if you forget a laptop.

You may bring a guest, who will not receive a parts kit.
