Arduino from the Ground Up

ADC & Temperature Measurement

A true introduction; no prior knowledge assumed. Learn what Arduino is, what you can use it for, how to go about it, and whether pigs have wings.

An introduction to analog-to-digital conversion with Arduino and an in-depth look at thermistors and thermocouples, two analog sensors used to measure temperature.

Arduino: Software

Interfacing with Motors

Learn to create, modify, install, and debug Arduino software “sketches,” and how to extend functionality using libraries.

Motors are the Arduino's primary means of interfacing with the physical environment, yet they can be surprisingly fiddly. Learn about the hidden pitfalls and how to avoid them.

Arduino: Hardware

An overview of basic electronics that will teach you how not to fry your Arduino. Lights, sounds, and switches for input and output will all be discussed.

Wireless Communications

Network your Arduino using common wireless protocols like ZigBee, Bluetooth and wifi, and make things flash, buzz, or move through the magic of radio.

Attendance is open to the public; if you're interested in Arduino, we hope to see you there! Our workshops are totally free, but donations are gratefully accepted.
