This Satuday, June 4th, from 12-3 pm we’ll be having one of our periodic, super-awesome Arduino and soldering 101 classes! You’ll learn to solder! You’ll learn to program! You’ll learn to use microcontrollers! In fact, you’ll walk out the door twenty times more talented and amazing than you were when you walked in– and you’ll take a an Arduino-compatible board you assembled yourself with you.
In this four hour class you’ll:
- Solder together a Freeduino board (an Arduino Duemilanove-compatible board)
- Learn how to program it using the Arduino environment
- Wire up several circuits and load up code to read sensors and light LEDs
- Understand variables, functions, and basic Arduino functionality
- And more!
When you leave, you’ll have a micro-controller, a mini-USB cable and a few programs to play with.
You’ll need to bring a laptop with the Arduino environment installed. It’s available for all platforms at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. (If you don’t have access to a laptop, please drop us a line at [email protected] ahead of time and we’ll try to find a spare for the day.)
The class will be taught by NYC Resistor members Raphael Abrams and Ari Lacenski. Sign up here!
