Digital electronics for Arduino Workshop. Taught and designed by Brian Wagner.

SIGN UP HERE http://digitalarduino.eventbrite.com

We will build and program an electronic game and in the process learn LED's, tri-color LED's, pushbutton switches, speakers and Arduino programming.


You must bring your own Arduino or clone!


You will need to have an Arduino or an Arduino clone to participate in this workshop. They can be purchased online (but be aware of shipping times) or at a local Radio shack http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12268262 You will need to have a USB cable to connect to your computer.


Other Arduino retailers

Adafruit http://www.adafruit.com/products/50

Sparkfun http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9950

Solarbotics (Canada - can have slower shipping) http://www.solarbotics.com/products/28920/

Seeed studios http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/seeeduino-v30-atmega-328p-p-669.html?cPath=132_133 Cheapest around, but they come from HK so they take a while to get.

Again, do not forget the USB cable

You can also use a serial based Arduino such as the Diavolina ($13!!!), but you need a $20 cable! http://evilmadscience.com/productsmenu/tinykitlist/180


You will also need to bring a laptop computer for programming your Arduino. We will show you how!


All other supplies are included in the cost of the workshop (wire, leds, switch, solderless breadboard, speaker, etc)


LVL1 has snacks and sodas available for purchase, but you can bring your own if you want.
