Arduino/Soldering 101

Sarah Knowles, Neighbor

This is an introductory class to soldering and micro-controllers.  In this three-hour class, participants will:

  • Solder together a Freeduino board (an Arduino Duemilanove-compatible board)
  • Learn how to program it using the Arduino environment
  • Wire up a circuit and load up code to read sensors and make an LED blink

When you leave, you'll have a micro-controller, a mini-USB cable, a power supply and a few programs to play with. Please bring a laptop with the Arduino environment and FTDI drivers preinstalled on it.  It's available at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software.
