ARDUINO BASIC & BLUETOOTH WORKSHOP; DIY wireless interative  
networking for artists & designers
11 | 12  & 13 | 14 | 15 June 2007
Mediamatic Amsterdam

ARDUINO
Arduino is an affordable computing platform which is particularly  
useful for designers and artists who want to build small interactive  
projects. Arduino takes input from a variety of switches or sensors,  
and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other outputs. In  
this workshop you will learn how to work with the basic and the  
wireless Arduino.

WORKSHOP APPROACH
We offer a 5-day workshop. Depending on your experience you can also  
register only for the first two, or only for the last three days.
We start with a 2-day introduction to Arduino (11 | 12 June), for  
those who haven't worked with Arduino's before. We will work on the  
basic USB Arduino, the lay-out of the board, how to connect hardware  
and some basic programming skills.

In the following days (13 | 14 | 15 June) we will deal with more  
advanced versions and uses, including Bluetooth Arduino's and the  
programming possibilities with Pure Data. In these three days you  
will work on your own small prototype of a wireless Arduino application.

TARGET GROUP
Art students, product developers, computer scientists, hardware  
hackers, nerds, dancers - everyone is welcome. However, note that  
some technical affinity is required. Some experience in programming  
and electronics will come in useful, specifically in soldering and  
java, but is not strictly necessary.  We advise you to download the  
Arduino software and have a look at http://www.arduino.cc before.

TRAINERS
Ubi de Feo (It) will lead the first days of the workshop. Massimo  
Banzi (It), who invented Arduino, is present during the last two days.
