The Arduino IDE is an open-source platform used to process, transfer, or display data collected from sensors using micro-controllers. The IDE works with both Arduino boards and microcontrollers from other vendors. We will explore the features of the IDE and how to use same to manipulate sensors.

This workshop covers the installation of IDE to use cases and examples of Arduino codes.

What you will know after the workshop:

• Overview of Arduino programming
• Background knowledge of Adafruit micro-controllers
• How to connect micro-controllers to Arduino
• Using IDE with non-Arduino boards (from other vendors)
• Learn how to install libraries from other sources (3rd party libraries)
• How to read/write analog and digital data
• Writing simple Arduino codes
• Writing Arduino code using libraries

Challenges

• Create use cases or examples for reading simple physical quantities
• Learn how to read data from different sensors using various libraries

Components

• Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi micro-controller
• Adafruit Feather Huzzah ESP8266 micro-controller

Don’t miss this chance to find out about Arduino development and gain hands-on experience of how easy it is to create your first Arduino application.

Each attendee is eligible for an extra 4 hours with their next month subscription at IoT Hub Lab (https://hackthebase.com/iot-hub-lab).

The #HackTheBase IoT Hub Lab is a creative space dedicated to prototyping and inventing, all sorts of microcontrollers with various types of connectivity (WiFi, LoRaWAN, GSM, LTE-M), and tools such as screwdriver, voltmeter, wirings, as well as an excellent program filled with meetups, workshops, and hackathons to the community members.
