Arduino/Soldering 101

In this three-hour introductory class to soldering and micro-controllers, participants will:

  • Solder together a Freeduino board (an Arduino Duemilanove-compatible board)
  • Learn how to program it using the Arduino environment
  • Wire up a circuit and load up code to read sensors and make an LED blink

Bring a laptop with the Arduino environment and FTDI drivers preinstalled on it (available at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software).
