The Inputs and Outputs of Physical Computing with
Arduinos I
You’ve heard that you can do anything with Arduinos. Learn what it’s
all about in this hands on introduction to physical computing. Students
will use the Arduino microcontroller together with a kit that provides
a platform for lessons in physical computing programming. The C
programming language will be used to develop Arduino sketches which
are uploaded to run on the device. This course introduces programming
methods including structure and variables of coding the Arduino
platform while learning about digital inputs and outputs as information is
passed between Arduino and computer. Several projects are completed
over the course of the class, and students can continue to hone their skills
working on Arduino projects with the kit that they’ll be taking home.
Note:
Kit required for this class. Purchase kit from FCC bookstore prior to
class start.

The Inputs and Outputs of Physical Computing with
Arduinos II
Continue your exploration of the world of Arduinos. In this class students
will use the Arduino microcontroller together with a kit that provides the
platform for lessons in physical computing programming. Expand your
knowledge of Arduino sketches and the C programming language by
developing Arduino sketches which are uploaded to run on the device.
This course reviews the programming methods including structure and
the variables of coding the Arduino and takes the student further into
programming by introducing programming with functions and libraries.
Students complete several projects during the course of the class and can
continue exploring the world of physical computing with the kit they’ll be
taking home.

Motor Control Using the Arduino
Motor control is the key to building a robot or car on the Arduino
platform. In this workshop, students will use the Arduino microcontroller
together with a kit that provides a platform for lessons in motor control.
This course reviews the programming methods, including structure
and variables of coding Arduino, while taking the student further by
specifically introducing the H-Bridge, how to build an H-Bridge on
a breadboard and how to use the Arduino for speed control of the
H-Bridge. Arduino sketches will be used and uploaded to run on the
device. Students can expand their repertoire of Arduino skills with the kit
that they’ll take home.

Microcontroller Fundamentals
Welcome to the world of microcontrollers! Learn the fundamental
concepts of microcontrollers on the popular Arduino platform. You’ll
delve into the world of microcontrollers and how they are used. This
hands on workshop uses a microcontroller, a breadboard, and electronic
components to teach the prototyping of electronic circuits with
microcontroller operation. Students then use the breadboard to connect
components to the microcontroller. Finally, you’ll use pre-written code
to program the Arduino to interact with components. The provided kit is
yours to take home where you can use it to further hone your skills. It is
recommended that students have familiarity with physical computing.
