Arduino/Soldering 101

This is your friendly introductory class to soldering and
micro-controllers. In this three-hour class students will:

  • Solder together a Freeduino board (an Arduino Duemilanove-compatible board)
  • Learn how to program it using the Arduino environment
  • Wire up several circuits and load up code to read sensors and light LEDs
  • Cover variables, functions, basic Arduino functionality
  • Learn how to get more help in the future for all your projects

When you leave, you'll have a micro-controller, a mini-USB cable, a power supply and a few programs to play with.
The class will be taught by NYC Resistor members Liz Arum and Charles Pax.

Please bring a laptop with the Arduino environment on it. It's available at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software.
