Getting Started with Microcontrollers Workshop
Roll back

This workshop is the first in a series of workshops on how to use microcontrollers to, well, control things.
You’ve purchased an Arudino-compatible board or completed the Audino Cult Induction, so now it’s time to make your board actually do something. This monthly workshop covers simple but useful circuits to connect to the pins and how to control those circuits using the Arduino language.
The first workshop is on October 5 from 7 to 9pm at TechShop in Beaverton. The class will be held in the upstairs classroom (the “Hack Hut“).
To sign up, go to http://www.pjrc.com/store/workshop.html
Cost of each workshop is $10. You will also need to have:
* an Arduino-compatible microcontroller board, such as the Dorkboard from the Arduino Cult Induction (with the pins installed so you can use it in a solderless breadboard), a Teensy, etc.
* a USB cable for your board
* a solderless breadboard
You can purchase a complete kit that includes all these (Teensy, breadboard, USB cable, plus the first workshop), for $40 from the same site. What a deal!
You should also bring a notebook computer with the Arduino software installed, or come a half-hour early and we will help you install the software on your computer. Finally, bring wire strippers/cutters and some wire. We will have some multimeters, but feel free to bring your own.
If you have any questions, email Paul Stoffregen – [email protected] |
