SYNOPSIS
Microcontroller is playing an increasingly important role in the monitoring and control of engineering processes with Arduino at the heart of the open source hardware movement. Designed as a low cost rapid prototyping board, Arduino lets even a novice do amazing projects that spans from a DNA analysis kit to a 3D printer. It has created an international Do-It-Yourself (DIY) craze among not only engineers but hobbyists, artists, students and anyone that dreams of making an innovative product with a brain. Arduino is well supported with an ecosystem that spreads across social media sites, forums and various dedicated websites that shares ideas, creations and solutions to countless projects and innovations. All schematics and source code are available for free under the creative common license.With Arduino, creative people have found an easy to understand entry level solution that they can then use as a platform in creating more sophisticated product even without any prior knowledge of electronics or programming.
This workshop comprises of practical hands-on exercises with supporting lectures where participant will be using their own laptop to develop a temperature monitoring device with on-board display capabilities. This would enable participants to gain real-world experience in using microcontroller to monitor and control engineering processes. The practical problems-based approach provides the opportunity for tackling problems that would not be normally encountered in traditional microcontroller courses.
Benefits
• Broadening perspective on microcontroller applications. • Develop and enhance practical skills in microcontroller design to monitor and control engineering processes. • Develop microcontroller programming capabilities. • To help promote and act as a catalyst towards understanding engineering design process.
Who Could Benefit From The Workshop
• Engineering Professional • IT Professional • Academician & Vocational Instructors • Electronics Hobbyist • Science Teacher (Primary/Secondary) • Project Student • Entrepreneurs
