Arduino Workshop - Wollongong Uni

The Maker's Space at Wollongong Uni, is doing Arduino classes.
Really enjoyed the first workshop last Thursday.

The  classes are intended to be a basic introduction into the world of Arduino
The first class was the obligatory flashing LED tutorial.
I'm not intimidated with standard electronics, but what has in the past slowed my entry into the world of Arduino is the programming aspect.


The classes make use of TinkerCad
It's a really good way to trial your projects before building them in the real world.
 

 
 


TinkerCad is also an easier way to learn programming.
It gets started with code blocks.
These are pre-written blocks of code which you can drag, drop, rearrange.















You are encouraged to search the web. These classes are just designed to get you stared.

Makers space also has some 3D printers and lazer cutters which I will most likely find useful in the future.


The next class will focus on LED strip lights
