I'll speak to Chris to confirm on his side of things, but I am pretty sure
we can do this in one day very easily.
For the programming session, I have pre-made libraries to do all the
communication with the displays and the newly created board so really all
people would be doing on the second part of the workshop is hooking up some
basic events for button presses to perform actions such as Play/Pause/Stop
and scrolling through a list of songs. I thought it was best to embrace the
whole Arduino mindset of people using pre-made libraries to just get stuff
up and running, and if people are curious how it all works, they can either
dive into the code, or I will have a number of blog posts up that they can
read for explanations of the code used.
I will get back to you about how many hours per part, but I am pretty sure
we can structure it in such a way that anybody can just jump in and have
some fun. I will make up some micro Arduino boards to sell with the kits
(at cost) for anybody who does not already own an Arduino (micro because
it's cheaper and because it would fit in a nice tin much easier, making
your portable mp3 player even more awesome).
