Arduino Night (22 March 7-10PM)

By on March 19, 2013

This Arduino Night will focus on code more than hardware. Don’t worry if you are a slow typist or don’t know much C/C++. I will be posting the code to Pastebin for everyone to access. Agenda: 1. Mapping values (convert a 10 bit value to an 8 bit value) 2. Timers (Schedule something to happen […]

Arduino Night (Fri, 15-Mar @ 1900-2200)

By on March 12, 2013

This will be a different format than last time.  This week will be the “Arduino Challenge”.  The basic idea is that I will list several simple to mildly challenging things to do with your Arduino.  All challenges will use things that we have covered (successfully) at least once.  I will not divulge the details of […]

Arduino Night (8 Feb 7-10PM)

By on February 7, 2013

We will pick up from last time with R2R ladders and operational amplifiers. If you have an oscilloscope, please bring it! By then end of the night we should be playing music through our Arduinos.   Agenda 1. Operational Amplifiers (voltage feedback only) 2. Digital to Analog Conversion (R2R Ladder) 3. Sampling Audio With Arduino […]

Arduino Night (25 Jan, 7-10PM)

By on January 22, 2013

We will cover how to use an operational amplifier to both amplify a signal, and add DC offset.  Then we will go over how to use a R2R ladder to convert digital to analog.  Finally we will combine both to have the Arduino sample audio using it’s A2D converter, and then spit it right back […]

Arduino Night (21 Dec, 7-10PM)

By on December 17, 2012

Back by popular demand! Please make note of the fact that the time is back to the normal 7 PM instead of 6 PM. Agenda: Transistors for LEDs and motors (a repeat, but really important!) Shift registers to control LEDs (and possibly 7 segment displays) Using tactile switches (including de-bouncing) Talking to other Arduinos (I […]

Arduino Night 14 Dec 6-10PM

By on December 11, 2012

This class will change from starting at 7 to starting at 6.  If this does not work for you, please contact the E-Mail address at the bottom.  We are fairly flexible with the time.  Also, if enough people chip in, we can order some food. Agenda DIY Arduino Build Fading LEDs with transistors 7 segment […]
