Workshop Making Session
Before Coming
Please take a look at one of the following, pending which sensor you plan to use:
Sound Sensing Example
OR
Light Sensing Example
Also be sure to have downloaded the arduino software to your computer: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
If you have the time, open up the arduino IDE and look at the sketchbook. There is some sample code for sensors that will make things easier.
At the workshop
You will receive your hardware and a breadboard. The primary goal of the session will be to get your circuit set up such that it is receiving data. If there is time, we will also work on getting the SD card working and fixing up any code necessary for solid data collection.
After the workshop
You will then be responsible for showing that you have completed the workshop, have a working prototype that collects and saves data, and a test environment you plan to use for collection.
The first submission for the mini-project will be due 9/14 (NOT 9/7). This submission will require you to have a completed prototype as well as having collected some sample data. Read below for where to find the submission.
Submission
Use this github repository. Update READEME.md, where you will answer some questions and paste your arduino code.
