Arduino Night (17 April, 7-10 PM)

By on April 16, 2015

Per a request at the last class, we will be writing to and reading from SD cards. Please bring an SD card if you can. There will only be two available for use!!! Also, the cards must be SD, not the smaller cards. All cards should be 8GB or less and be formatted to FAT16 […]

We are getting back to LCDs this week. The last time we dealt with a 16×2 display, we used the LiquidCrystal library. This time we are going to ‘bit bang’ the LCD by hand. The idea is to learn how to control external devices for which you don’t have a library. Agenda: Wiring up the […]

We will be playing with 74HC595 8-bit shift registers. It’s okay if you don’t have one as there should be plenty to go around! Agenda: What is a shift register and what can it do Reading datasheets How the 595 works Simple shifting with ShiftOut Latching a value Simple shifting by hand Latching a value […]

THIS CLASS STARTS AT 8, NOT 7!!!!! In the last class we went over the basics of serial communication.  This class will dive a little deeper into serial by using Python to talk to the Arduino instead of the Arduino IDE’s serial monitor.  This will enable the sending of more complicated data than just ASCII […]

Arduino Night (5 Dec 7-10 PM)

By on December 4, 2014

Having finished the seven segment projects, it’s time to move on to something a little more demanding. We will take a look at serial communications with the Arduino. We will go over what serial actually is, and how it is sent. Then we will dig into actually communicating between the laptop and Arduino by having […]

Arduino Night (21 Nov, 7-10 PM)

By on November 20, 2014

We will continue working with the 7 segments. This class will introduce bit shifting and creating custom functions. Both of these topics will be used to display things on the 7 segments. If you have your own 7 segment, feel free to bring it. There will be several to choose from if you need one. […]

Arduino Night (17 Oct, 7-10 PM)

By on October 15, 2014

We will be using push buttons to change the brightness of an LED one step at a time. During the course of this little project, we will also cover de-bouncing buttons. If time permits, we will start with Serial communications. Agenda: 1. How push buttons work 2. How to connect the buttons 3. Reading push […]

Arduino Night (3 Oct, 7-10 PM)

By on October 2, 2014

We will be fading LEDs with PWM, learning how to use for loops, creating variables, bit shifting, and reading analog values. Agenda: 1. Pulse width modulation 2. Create sketch to turn LED part on 3. Play with this sketch to make the LED dimmer or brighter 4. Intro to conditional loops (for) 5. Use a […]

Arduino Night (26 Sept, 7-10 PM)

By on September 21, 2014

Back by popular demand 😀 We will go over what the Arduino is, how to use the IDE, what LEDs are, and create a blinky light sketch. If time permits, we will move into talking about Wiring functions, C data types, and custom C functions. Agenda: 1. Instructor introduction 2. Overall plan for the series […]
