Hi all

We just received this request, maybe of interest for one of our regulars?

Arduino users needed for a PhD study

Do you use Arduino for personal projects (rather than just as your main job, or on behalf of other people)? I’m looking for 20 adults (18+) to take part in an exploratory study I’m conducting as part of my PhD. I want to find out how people think and behave when developing prototypes with Arduino, so we can determine how people from different backgrounds, with different levels of knowledge and skill in programming and electronics, can be best supported, particularly when learning.

You don’t need to be an expert to take part, just to have some experience of using the Arduino platform for personal projects (and/or to support your work, rather than doing so for a living), and be willing to attend an in-person session at City University London in April 2015, in which you do a hands-on task (using an Arduino UNO & the Arduino IDE) and answer some questions about it. The session will take about 1.5 hours and you’ll receive a £20 Amazon gift voucher as a token of thanks.

If you think you might want to take part, or have any questions, please drop me a line at tracey....@city.ac.uk
