Arduino Feedback with Nicolas Collins & Sukandar Kartadinata
A two-day workshop in the use of feedback systems between embedded controllers (such as the Arduino) and the real world: twitching motors with fruit, shaking paint with light, making a synth ribbon-controller out of old videotape.
Day 1: basic sensor techniques (light, pressure, skin conductivity, fruit ripeness, drawn pencil lines and old videotape will be used to control the pitch of a simple oscillator on a breadboard); introduction to input and output programming on the Arduino; essential Arduino software routines for feedback applications.
Day 2: experimenting with applications of the hardware and software modules from Day 1; guidance on individual projects.
Participants must bring:
Laptop with Arduino development software.
An Arduino.
Optional: soldering iron, hand tools, and a loudspeaker of some sort and/or a pair of headphones
This workshop assumes a basic familiarity with Arduino programming, but no advanced electronic skill is required.
Workshop will be in German and English.
Dates: March 22 & 23
Time: 13:00-19:00
Number of participants: 5-15
