HSB announces Arduino Workshops (Brussels, March)
=======================================================================
HackerSpaceBrussels (HSB) is organising a series of
workshops around
the Arduino, an open source hardware platform. There will be weekly
tuesday-evening sessions (tutored by ptr_) and a weekend workshop
(21-22 of March by
Wesen) -- check the schedule below.
Agenda
======
* Tue 03 Mar@19:30: Introduction: buy an arduino, first steps
* Tue 10 Mar@19:30: First lessons: blinking leds, examples of C code
* Tue 17 Mar@19:30: Serial communications & binary data mayhem
* Sat+Sun 20+21 Mar: Mididuino workshop: arduino to do midi
communication(think sound/rythms) with Wesen
* Tue 24 Mar@19:30: free for experimenting
* Tue 31 Mar@19:30: free for experimenting
What is
Arduino?
================
The Arduino is a small board with an 8-bit microcontroller which can
be easily programmed. It can operate connected to your computer or in
stand-alone mode.
What can I do with it?
======================
Some examples of applications:
* Switch on and off the lights in your hackroom with cron job
* Switch on and off your computer from a website
* Make a LED blink when you have new mail
* make a glowing and pulsating red heart for your significant other
* Mind-altering christmas lights
For Beginners
=============
* If you don't know anything about electronics: we'll get you started.
We'll explain how the components work and what you can do with it.
We'll show you how to connect them without soldering.
* If your not a programmer, that's fine. The code to run these things
is pretty basic, and a little brain combined with the awesome power of
copy/paste will find it's way in this.
* If you're an accountant, no prob. If you're eager to learn you will
be able to manage this.
For Advanced users
==================
* Those of you who like to take it to another (volume-)level are
invited to the two-day workshop on the weekend of 21/22 april.
* Wesen, the developer of the miduino will be with us to show his stuff.
* Think: beats and bleeps modified by an remixed arduino.
Fee
===
We ask a little fee for the whole package of sessions: 10EUR (sessions
