Getting Started with Microcontrollers Workshop Oct 5

[wm]

This workshop is the first in a series of workshops on how to use
microcontrollers to, well, control things.

You’ve purchased an Arudino-compatible board or completed the Audino
Cult Induction, so now it’s time to make your board actually do
something. This monthly workshop covers simple but useful circuits to
connect to the pins and how to control those circuits using the
Arduino language.

The first workshop is on October 5 from 7 to 9pm at TechShop in
Beaverton. The class will be held in the upstairs classroom (the “Hack
Hut“).

To sign up, go to http://www.pjrc.com/store/workshop.html

Cost of each workshop is $10. You will also need to have:

* an Arduino-compatible microcontroller board, such as the Dorkboard
from the Arduino Cult Induction (with the pins installed so you can
use it in a solderless breadboard), a Teensy, etc.

* a USB cable for your board

* a solderless breadboard

You can purchase a complete kit that includes all these (Teensy,
breadboard, USB cable, plus the first workshop), for $40 from the same
site. What a deal!

You should also bring a notebook computer with the Arduino software
installed, or come a half-hour early and we will help you install the
software on your computer. Finally, bring wire strippers/cutters and
some wire. We will have some multimeters, but feel free to bring your
own.
