Intro to Arduino Programming
Learn to interpret and control motors, servos, and RC with the Arduino microcontroller
If you like Raspberry Pi, you'll love Arduino! 
Microcontrollers are the connection between the world of bits and the world of atoms. They're what let us use computers to sense and control the physical world, and the Arduino is a crowd favorite microcontroller.
In this workshop, we’ll cover an introduction to Arduino and focus on programming as we learn how to manipulate outputs based on sensor inputs.
Topics covered
- What is Arduino?
- Software setup (IDE, how to program it, the Serial monitor)
- Reading schematics and Fritzing (wiring) diagrams
- Basics of breadboarding
- Reading sensor input (with a light sensor)
- Controlling output (with a simple motor)
- Combining input and output, making the motor move in response to light
