This class will introduce you to physical computing using the Arduino board. Â No prior electronics or programming experience is assumed.
The highly recommended text is Massimo’s book, Getting Started with the Arduino (link goes to Amazon). I will be displaying excerpts of the book during the class.
If you don’t have an Arduino, they will be available for sale for $25 at the class. You should bring a laptop.
