What shall we do?
Thoughts on a Lesson Overview
- Start with a general overview of hacking with respect to art, home automation, circuit bending, etc, presented as a short lecture to introduce
the arduino and similar
- go into a setup for people with helpers wandering around making sure the software is installed correctly (java and all that)
- Pull up some more slides with setup for the basic programs; maybe go with the simple blinking light example
- coffee break
- Move into a more complicated example using output only
- lunch
- Lecture on basic electronic theory such as V=IR and similar. introduce buttons and other inputs
- go through an input example - e.g press a button to turn on or off a set of LEDS
- modify this example with perhaps a buzzer instead.
- Mention briefly, processing and how to use a POT to create a nice interactive graph (this was the demo Tinker used)
- Once that demo is complete, depending on time, finish with a short lecture on where to get equipment, suppliers, advanced topics and cool things that have been made with Arduino.
