Information for our introductory workshops on Arduinos

FULLY BOOKED!

To be held on the 14th and 15th May 2011. This course will be split into two days. Day 1 for the first half will be a brief introduction to programming in C. After lunch we will start using the Arduino. Day 2 will be moving onto further projects with the Arduino.

If you already have experience programming then you only need to turn up after lunch on Day 1 if you wish. Members of the London Hackspace get a further discount. You can become a member of the LHS before the workshop and obtain the discount.

The cost of the course also includes a full Arduino Uno Starter Kit (Supplied by Earthshine Electronics).

Note that experience in programming will be expected so if you do not have that please ensure you attend the whole of Day 1.

Both courses will be given by Michael McRoberts, author of the book "Beginning Arduino"


Tickets

There are 10 places available on the course, the costs are:
