University of Kent Tinkering Society
This week we had our introduction to the Arduino, and in next week’s session we will be be going a bit more in-depth to tell you how to interface with the chip.
We will cover how to connect your computer to your
Arduino, your Arduino to the network, your doorbell to your Arduino to your computer, your website to your Arduino to your room lights…
This workshop will be held in KLSR4 at 1800 hrs on Monday the 30th of November.
See you there!
Next week we will be having our introduction to Arduino workshop.
Arduino is a physical computing platform based on a simple open hardware design for a single-board microcontroller, with embedded I/O support and a standard programming language (which is essentially simplified C/C++).
In Monday’s workshop we will teach you the basics of embedded computing, talking about key concepts and applications and introduce you to the Arduino hardware/software.
We will have this workshop back in KLSR4 at 1800 this coming Monday (23rd November).
Also, the photos from this weeks workshop should be available soon.
See you there!
Our next event is Soldering 101/Wearable Electronics #2, which will take place in the Jennison Building (Electronics) Project Labs this Monday (16th) at 18:00.
Soldering 101 is kinda like our early Christmas celebration as we will teach you how to solder a circuit that looks like a christmas tree and has flashing LEDs! Come along if you’d like to learn how to use a soldering iron and/or if you are feeling festive, although it is a bit early… Photos from last years event available at: http://bit.ly/G4p5N
We will also continue playing with conductive thread and the bits and pieces from the previous wearable electronics workshop so come along if you want to finish your wearable projects.
As you will be taking these kits back home with you, we will have to charge you 2 pounds for the christmas tree and a battery. Normally you would have to pay around 4 quid for the bundle if you got it straight from Rapid but we will be taking care of the difference from our Union budget. Kit fees can be paid to Em on the day.
We have limited kit available so we kindly ask you to sign up for a spot here if you would like to attend the event: http://tinkersoc.eventwax.com/soldering-101-christmas-edition
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BOOK A TICKET IF YOU ARE GOING TO CONTINUE WORKING ON YOUR WEARABLE ELECTRONICS PROJECT! (And it won’t cost you a penny to attend this session!)
Hi Everyone,
Now it’s finally time to unleash our greatly anticipated plans for
Monday’s TinkerSocial!
We’re going to be having a scavenger crawl, a scavenger hunt combined
with a pub crawl. We’ll be starting in Origins at 1800hrs, and
finishing sometime around 2300 (or whenever you want to duck out).
Did I mention there were prizes? Nice prizes. Prizes so good you want
to come along just to find out what they are. Maybe.
