Introduction
Physical Computing is an approach to design and making that positions the human at the center of
the interaction. By focusing the learning on introductory electronics, sensors, and the Arduino
platform, we will create an awareness of the tools available to design and make within this genre.
In this class we're expecting to cover the following:
Basics of electronics (please look at Tom Igoe's introduction page)
Basics of circuit schematics - reading and writing. (this site is helpful )
Introduction to the Arduino and (arduino tutorial on sketches). ( code )
Make 1 LED Blink. ( code )
Introduction to Serial. Please read Lady Ada's outstanding tutorial on Serial Communication
Control an LED using Serial Input. ( code )
How to use a breadboard. ( Arduino lesson on LEDs in Breadboards )
Reading a switch - or using digital input. ( code )
What is Pulse Width Modulation ( PWM )
How to read a sensor (potentiometer and Light Dependant Resister)
Analog Input and Output with PWM. ( code )
Thank you to all the participants, and the MzTEK crew!
