Fun with Arduino Introductory Course

This intro course requires no electronics experience, and only minimal programming experience. Uses the SparkFun Inventor’s Kit plus a few extra things like the Magician's Chassis.

Visit the course website to learn more.

Overview

  • Class 1: Getting set up and making lights blink - Get the Arduino set up, learn a little about the Arduino Uno and open source hardware. Make your first circuit, and construct a traffic light.
  • Class 2: Switches, Knobs, & Sensors - Improve your traffic light. Add an arrival sensor, learn about how to read switches with a pull-up circuit and analog inputs. Learn about various sensors.
  • Class 3: Analog Output and LCD display - The class turns more to projects. Learn about PWM and controlling LEDs, build a thermometer with LCD readout and fun tricolor displacy.
  • Class 4: Motors and making things move - Focus is controlling motors and high power devices. Build a little robot.
  • Class 5: MATLAB and Arduino - Learn about MATLAB support for arduino.
