A Gentle Introduction to Arduino

[Ryan Hershey]

I've mentioned an upcoming Arduino class at the last couple of meetings. Signup links and details have been posted at:

http://hive13.org/

and

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-gentle-introduction-to-arduino-tickets-33764743256

For convenience, the description is reproduced below.

----------

On Wednesday, April 19 from 6-9PM, Hive 13 secretary and resident curmudgeon Ryan Hershey will provide a gentle introduction to the Arduino. This will be extremely shallow coverage of the first steps required. Those already capable of installing the Arduno software and of basic C programming will find little of interest.

If however, you've wanted to use microcontrollers in your projects but been stymied by one or more of the topics listed below, this overview should prove useful.

Topics covered:

*General orientation - Discussion of available products and links to learning resources

*Setting up your computer - Installing the Arduino development environment

*Talking to the Arduino - Basic C programming concepts including variables, operators, flow control, loops, and calling functions

*Using components - Installing libraries for control of sensors, motors, lighting effects, etc.

*Putting it all together - Your first project. Motion controlled lighting.

Equipment Provided:

*Arduino Uno clone.

*Small breadboard and jumper wire

*Multicolor LED strip

*PIR motion sensor

Some equipment will be avaiable for use, but you may wish to bring:

*Your own computer.

*USB A to B cable. (Commonly known as a USB printer cable)

As of 2:00 PM, I have no signups for this class. It is therefore cancelled.

I'd like to offer this at least quarterly, so I'll schedule another one a few weeks down the road.

Ryan,

I would definitely be interested in this Introduction to Arduino if you were to make time offer it again.

Things have (hopefully) settled down on the homefront, so I'm going to take another run at offering this class. My first preference for a time is at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, June 28.

I'm open to offering this on a Saturday afternoon if that works better for a majority of the interested parties.

Reply here on the list if you have a strong preference for one or the other. I'll post the Eventbrite signup page this weekend.

I would really like to do this! Im limited to babysitter availability, but if I plan ahead enough can do either probably.

This is something I'd be interested in as well given the application to interface one via an rs485 connection to a plc using a modbus protocol to communicate a status but for my nest account's away/home state. Maybe something better suited for a raspberry pi but I'm ignorant to both platforms.

Hey Ry,

Did you decide on a day/time? If I have enough notification, I can get a babysitter set up.

Thanks,

Tiff

Not yet. I'm now leaning towards the Saturday date to avoid conflict with another meeting already scheduled for Wednesday that week.

I intend to rework the class slightly, providing different components. I think people might be more interested in reading from buttons and knobs than from a motion sensor. Certainly that type of input is more generally useful.

I'd hoped for more input from those interested in the class before making a final schedule, but  I'll pick a date and post the Eventbrite signups this weekend regardless.

i'd love to figure out how to hook up a potentiometer to my arduino and stepper motor - control the stepper with the potentiometer. I know there are various tutorials just have a hard time understanding the wiring diagrams.
