So, now that I’m a bit more organised I’ve sorted out the details for the into-to-Arduino workshop.
It will be held on the 26th Feb (7-10pm) and 28th Feb (10am-1pm). I’ve decided on 2 (repeated) sessions to allow more people to attend the workshop, as the large garage can only hold 12 or so people.
The cost will be $70 and will include all hardware, except a laptop (required). $5 of this will go towards MHV as a donation for using the space.
The hardware we’ll be using is a Sidekick Basic kit (http://www.australianrobotics.com.au/products/sidekick-basic-kit-for-arduino) plus an Arduino (not decided on the exact model yet).
This workshop is aimed at people with no prior experience with programming or electronics. It will go through the basics of programming the Arduino and using a few interesting hardware parts (temperature sensors, buzzers, LED lights, buttons and light sensors).
It should be a fun workshop
I’m also looking for a few assistants to help out on the day - message me if you’re able to help.
