> It’s on – an Introduction to Arduino Class
>
> Where: Antitronics – Flying Monkey Arts Center
> When: Saturday, October 3rd 4:30 – 7:00
> Cost: $30 (for the things you get to keep)
>
> Requirements:
>
> Let me know in advance if you will be there.
> You need to bring your laptop, let me know which O.S. you run.
>
> I have in my hot little hands a stack of Arduino Duemilanove boards.  
> For your $30 you will get one of those, a USB cable, a 9V battery  
> clip with a plug, a couple of LEDs and resistors. and a
> potentiometer. I will not supply a 9V battery. You won’t need one  
> for class – you only need one later if you want to run your project  
> disconnected from your computer.
>
> The goals will be:
>
> 1. To get the arduino software environment installed
> 2. To demonstrate the structure of a basic arduino application
> 3. To show how to read information from the real world
> 4. To control some simple outputs, including PWM (and an explanation  
> of what the heck PWM is anyway).
>
> We will not go into deep details of the AVR processor or any other  
> technical aspects of the arduino and how it works — this is sort of  
> an appliance operator’s view.

> You are invited to go ahead and install the software before the  
> class if you are comfortable with that. If you want the hardware  
> early, just pay me and it’s yours. I should have the remainder of the
> items (battery clips) in by next week.
>
> Registration is limited since this is the first class. I don’t want  
> to end up overloaded.
