Download - Arduino (Arrrr dween-ohh)
Computer-based interactivity used to be beyond the reach of most artists, designers, and other electronics amateurs who wanted to make their work respond to light, sound and other stimulus by moving, beeping, tweeting.
THAT ERA!
2 Americans & 3 Italians did the
job...
Then, in 2005, Italian engineer
Massimo Banzi and his team created
the Arduino microcontroller, a small,
cheap programmable computer,
bringing interactive technology to the
masses.
WHAT OTHERS SAY!
"Most open-source projects start
from a frustration. Arduino was
born when Banzi's design students
complained about not being able
to find a microcontroller for their
robotic projects." — WIREDItalia
WHY ARDUINO??
And the most important!
OPEN SOURCE!
- Both hardware and software...
OBVIOUSLY
“You don’t need anyone’s
permission to create something
great.”
Have A Look
Typical Arduino Board...
Arduino IDE
Arduino Language
C like syntax, but simplified
Abstracts the pin naming to numbers
Trades efficience for ease of use
Easy to learn, yet powerful
Lots of example code
Easy to reuse C-code from other
projects
Libraries can be written in C++
Lots of libraries available
Different Flavours!!!
Real Time
Applications?
Here Are
Some..........
BotaniCalls!
KickBee!
& Google ADK 2012
SO,how to become a maker?
Workshops??
Hackerspaces??
Labs??
Electronics groups??
ABSOLUTELY NOT
USE THE WEB!

GET A KIT!
&
EXPLORE!
Start doing things!
A Great Saying!
"The only way to do great
work is to love what you do.
If you haven’t found it yet,
keep looking. Don’t settle"
