This week's Wednesday Evening Training: a "klusavond" with Arduino and an electronics 101

A quick refresher training in the field of electronics tonight; a real electronics 101 by Aishwarya Dhall and Harrie van der Plas.

Components, current vs voltage, measuring, a bit of arithmetic and building some electronics circuits ourselves tonight. Arduino is best used with a breadboard. This is a handy board on which you can build your electronics circuit quickly and easily. We also learned to calculate and measure voltage and currents in electronic circuits. Very handy when preventing your Arduino's ports from having a meltdown. It's only a couple of Volts, I know, but still...

Thanks Aish and Harrie!

Next week's Wednesday Evening Training

In next week's Wednesday Evening Training, we'll start creating a programmable LED cube. Thats a bunch of LED lights, put together in a cube. Since each LED can be put on and off inividually, you can create awsome effects. We may even be doing a bit of soldering!

For an example of a LED cube, see: 8x8x8 LED cube with Arduino Uno on YouTube and below.
