February Freeduino Frenzy is a workshop that will happen on Feb 13, 2011.  It will consist of several experiments that will teach the student how to do basic circuits and coding on the Freeduino (Arduino) platform.  Some of the projects will closely follow the Spring Training from the Spring of '10, some of the projects are brand new!  Sign up and lean valuable skill on how to use and program your Freeduino.
 +
 
 +
You will need to bring a laptop and a Freeduino or Arduino or clone.  Do not sign up if you do not have a laptop or Freeduino!  You will need the laptop to program the Freeduino. 
 +
 
 +
If you can, please download and install the Arduino Programming Software on your laptop as described [http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software here].  That would save some time.
 +
 
 +
BTW - this is called a Frenzy because I know I have too much stuff packed into an afternoon.  All of my instructions will remain online so you can revisit them whenever you want. I hope we will make it through everything - but no promises.

February Freeduino Frenzy is a workshop that will happen on Feb 13, 2011. It will consist of several experiments that will teach the student how to do basic circuits and coding on the Freeduino (Arduino) platform. Some of the projects will closely follow the Spring Training from the Spring of '10, some of the projects are brand new! Sign up and lean valuable skill on how to use and program your Freeduino.

You will need to bring a laptop and a Freeduino or Arduino or clone. Do not sign up if you do not have a laptop or Freeduino! You will need the laptop to program the Freeduino.

If you can, please download and install the Arduino Programming Software on your laptop as described here. That would save some time.

BTW - this is called a Frenzy because I know I have too much stuff packed into an afternoon. All of my instructions will remain online so you can revisit them whenever you want. I hope we will make it through everything - but no promises.
