Summary
This advanced workshop will guide you into making your own Arduino compatible boards, program them, and manufacture them in small size series. You will be introduced to contemporary hardware design techniques what will allow you designing your own boards, shields for Arduino, etc. You will also get introduced to possible ways of making your homebrew board to be part of the Arduino IDE. This two days course will be taught by D. Cuartielles with assistance from the 1scale1 team.
Prices:
- Students 250 Eur (materials included)
- Professionals 750 Eur (materials included)
Full Description
Arduino is a microcontroller platform broadly used in the fields of art and design. It is used in creating all kinds of interactive artifacts, art installations, and prototypes.
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).
This advanced workshop will guide you into making your own Arduino compatible boards, program them, and manufacture them in small size series.
Contents
Arduino Hardware:
About the processor, the bootloader, how to solder, connecting to the computer.
Arduino IDE & libraries:
Adding your own board to the Arduino interface. Create your own libraries to control your personal devices.
Massproduction:
Are you planning to make 100 boards for an event? We will study how to proceed then.
Target Audience
The workshop is aimed at artists, engineers, musicians, programmers, interaction designers, architects, fashion designers or any other person interested in new media or interactive architecture.
Technical Requirements
The participants are required to bring their own working computers.
The workshop organizers will supply every participant with the extra equipment needed (included in the workshop’s fee).
Working Language
The workshop will be held in English.
