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 basic workshop will introduce you to the basic use of Arduino. The goal is to provide you with open source tools, introduce you to the creation of your own personal prototyping laboratory.
NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE IN PROGRAMMING OR ELECTRONICS NEEDED
Contents
Arduino:
About the tool, how it works, project’s philosophy and community orientation.
Basic Sensor Technology:
Sensors are devices that map physical properties into digital devices.
Actuators:
Those artifacts that affect the world physically: motors, electromagnets, piezo elements…
Communicating with Computers:
Send information from Arduino to a computer and vice versa. Sending information to computers makes Arduino into an alternative input device.
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.
