Classes:Intro To Arduino
Description
Learn the basics of Arduino and electronics with our instructor. We will be using our DuinoKit Jr. learning kits (http://duinokit.com/store/home/8-duinokit-jr-754748002672.html).
This is also a great time to discuss your project with others that are interested in Arduino. You may also want to join the #arduino channel in our slack discussion group. (Request a slack invite here (http://www.makerfx.org/wp-login.php?action=slack-invitation))
If you are bringing your own computer, please install the latest Arduino IDE (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software), and the CH340 USB drivers (http://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html) (or hit google). If you do not have a computer for this workshop, we will have Chromebooks available for use.
