Workshops/Arduino for beginners 5
Information for our introductory workshops on Arduinos
To be held on the 27th and 28th August 2011. This course will be split into two days. Day 1 for the first hour or so will be a brief introduction to programming in C. After this 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 the morning session on Day 1 if you wish.
You will require an Arduino and components for the course. The recommended kit which has all the required components is 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 is £50 per person. Either bring your own Arduino and components or purchase the kit above (note you will need the necessary components for the course, hence the kit is ideal. If you have your own already, then fine.)

Provisional Timetable
Saturday 27th August
Introduction to Programming and Arduino
This will be an introduction to programming, specifically the C programming language.
C is a ubiquitous and versatile language, used for programming PCs and micro-controllers. The aim of this day is to give you a basic understanding of programming and C, specifically the course will prepare you for the Arduino course after lunch.
After lunch we will dive right into the Arduino projects.
Sunday 28th August
Continuing adventures with an Arduino
A full day dedicated to learning how the Arduino works and how to code for it as well as basic electronics theory.
Through the day you will learn about the features of the Arduino platform, and construct a variety of fun and interesting projects to examine the basics of it's operation.
Note. Programming experience will be assumed. If have no programming experience or are unsure of programming in C, please attend the "Introduction to Programming and C" which will be held on the Saturday morning. If you are a confident developer then you may skip this bit and turn up after lunch on Saturday for the Arduino projects section.
For who?
Anyone! Aimed at complete beginners in both programming and electronics.
