The first workshop of the course, which will take place on Tuesday, November 17, at 4 p.m., will introduce you to the basics of Arduino. Brandon Peart, a tech enthusiast, tinkerer and hobbyist, will teach you how to build and program an interactive device for a “smart home” system. He will explain how to use the hardware (the board, resistors, temperature sensors, etc.) and the software (Arduino IDE‘s programming language).
The first project will be divided into three phases:
We will attach the temperature sensor and learn how to use the serial port.
We will learn how to hook up and take readings of a potentiometer.
We will learn how to use logical operators to turn on and off components of a HVAC system (for this project, we will merely turn on blue, yellow, and red LEDs).
The course is taught in English. Participation is free of charge. All the necessary equipment will be provided – just come and play!
