Tools & Tech 2014
What are we going to do?
- learn to identify (or guessify) common 'building blocks' in a device
- understand some of the ways how a device knows about its surroundings
- understand some of the ways a device can influence its environment
- learn to work with a microcontroller platform
- learn basics of programming
- possibly learn soldering(?)
How to go about all that?
We'll need to fill up our tools & tech toolbox!
Tools & Tech ToolBox
basic knowledge of electronics like
- basic theory
- components
- sensors
- actuators
- displays
- ..
how to choose the right platform for your project
- Arduino
- Arduino compatibles
- Raspberry PI
- Beaglebone
- Gumstix
- MBed
- ...
basic knowledge on programming
- what programming languages are out there
- C
- C++
- Java
- Python
- Ruby
- Lisp
- (Bash) Shell
- ..
how do we actually prototype/make things
- breadboarding
- soldering
- Throughole
- SMD
- Soldering iron
- Reflow
- CAD / PCB layout
- etching
Project ideas
- In groups of four define your own project to make in the next coming weeks.
- In groups of four
- Find a project to build and adapt
- Find an existing device and hack it to do what you want
- build from scratch
