→Week 6 - Microcontrollers, Digital Input/Output
* NOTE: LECTURE IS CANCELED TONIGHT! Steph will be in the electronics lab (VAF 106) from 5-6pm to give a workshop on soldering, if you want to come get help finishing your Freeduino assembly. Otherwise, we will see you in class next week. I am sorry for the late notice but hope that you will enjoy the time off. Great work on your midterms last week.
** FYI: Tim and I will be attending the opening of ''and the world is ours...'' at compactspace gallery in LA, from 6-9pm. [http://www.compactspace.com/] All are invited to attend.
* Lecture 6Homework for next week: intro to microcontrollersRead pages 1-42 of "Getting Started With Arduino" by Massimo Banzi. solderingThis introduces the Arduino microcontroller, a brief bit of what it does, and also describes your first basic activity with the Arduino, writing and uploading the basic LED blinking program. breadboards.* Homework 6* NOTE: I will use "Arduino" and "Freeduino" interchangeably: [[Classes/2010/VIS147A/Lab7 | digital input/output]]they are nearly identical. The official Arduino is manufactured by one particular group in Italy, the Freeduino is one of many clones of the Arduino made by a company here in the US. Both use the same programming environment and have the same capabilities, so we don't really have to worry about the distinction.
