<br>
Where: Makers Local 256, 203 Brown Street<br>
When: Saturday, October 17th, 1:00 - 3:00pm<br>
Cost: $30 (for the things you get to keep)<br>

Mr. Mike Spiceland, a coworker of mine, will be giving an basic AVR<br>
class in two weeks, October 17th from 1 to 3pm. Everyone will need<br>
to bring a laptop with them. I'm waiting to hear back about getting<br>
some Arduinos for $30. Please email me before Saturday if you're<br>
interested in taking part in the class so we know how many people to<br>
plan.<br>
<br>
For those with Debian or Ubuntu systems, you should be able to just<br>
run the following before the class:<br>
apt-get install gcc-avr avr-libc avrdude<br>
<br>
For those with Windows systems, you'll need to install the WinAVR<br>
package here: <a href="http://winavr.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">http://winavr.sourceforge.net/</a><br>
<br>
Don't worry if you have any problems getting your system setup, just<br>
show up a little early and we'll be able to help you get going.<br>
<br>
The class outline is as follows:<br>
<br>
Class 1: Introduction to microcontrollers / AVR / Arduino<br>
- October 17th<br>
Basic Concepts<br>
building projects and programming your micro<br>
bits and bytes - hex, binary, binary C operators, and accessing<br>
16-bit registers on an 8 bit micro<br>
getting familiar with the datasheet<br>
I/O ports - talking to the outside world<br>
intro to avr-gcc and avr-libc<br>
Interrupts<br>
Interrupt Service Routines<br>
External Interrupts<br>
<br>
Mike also has two more classes planned. We'll discuss when we want<br>
to have them at the this class.<br>
<br>
I look forward to seeing you there!<br>
