| The world is becoming more and more connected every day. The Internet of Things is becoming adopted by industries and the notion of everything being always on and always connected is starting to seem inevitable. In this class we will explore the popular open source electronics platform called Arduino. Students will learn how to manipulate inputs and outputs through code and build intuitive, interactive interfaces with an emphasis on cloud connectivity. Some of the types of inputs we will cover include photo resistors, force-sensitive resistors, potentiometers, accelerometers, and ultrasonic sensors. Output types to be discussed include LEDs, servos, motors, and serial data among others. We will also explore principles of circuit design to bring it all together. Electronic components will be provided. Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their own laptops. |
