Introduction to Arduino Programming
The Arduino is a microcontroller that can be used to create interactive electronics projects. This series of classes will introduce students to the basics of programming using light emitting diodes (LEDs), switches, sensors, and the Arduino microcontroller.
Originally designed so that artists could use it in their creations, the Arduino platform has become an exellent tool to introduce beginners to the world of interactive electronics.
Instruction will make use of the Sparkfun Digital Sandbox® which includes all of the sensors, LEDs, and an onboard Arduino Microcontroller.
Series One: Light It Up
Program the Arduino to light up LEDs individually, in groups, and in different colors. Three hour-long Arduino classes introduce loops, Pulsed Width Modulation, RGB (Red Green Blue) coloring, and variables.
