Abstract:
In this workshop, students will learn to master the Arduino development board and the Arduino IDE. Through a series of tutorials, participants will be taught how to harness the Arduino’s more advanced features to create powerful and efficient embedded systems.
This workshop will also include a project component. Participants will be taught step-by-step how to desgin and implement a persistence-of-vision text display using an Arduino, a breadboard, and some LEDs.
An Arduino is required for this workshop. Participants who do not have their own Arduino may purchase one from UMIEEE for $35.
Pre-Requisites:
Prior exposure to programming, electronics, and the Arduino development environment are strongly recommended.
Registration:
$10 for IEEE student members per workshop $15 for non-members per workshop
The deadline for ordering Arduinos through UMIEEE is January 6, 2013.
To register, complete and submit the secure registration form..
