Create your own physical interfaces. Learn how to set up electronic circuits and use sensors, buttons, and light emitting diodes. Each student will program their own Arduino and create their own circuit. We will begin by setting up our programming environment and then cover:
- Input and output
- Buttons and switches
- Light emitting diodes
- Analog to digital conversion
- Light sensors
- Putting it all together into an interactive night light
Each student will need to bring a laptop to program with. You should install the Arduino software before class. Other equipment may be purchased in class or bring your own.
- Arduino
- A-B USB cable
- Solderless breadboard
- Jumper wires
- LEDs
- Resistors
- Buttons
- Potentiometer
- Light sensitive resistor
The class will take place in the Flavorpill office at 594 Broadway Ave. Suite 1212.

I don’t have an arduino or any of the components. I will be attending the class and will bring my laptop. How much $$ should I bring to buy the arduino and components? Thanks!
Great question.
Arduino $29
USB Cable $3-$4
Breadboard $6.99
Jumper Wires $6.99
Potentiometer $2
-10% in class discount.
Other parts are $1 or under and I will have some second hand parts to lend or sell.
I am not nowhere near your location is there any online aspect or component availiable for distance learners
We have the first lesson online here: http://learn.sparklelabs.com/arduino/
I am creating these to go along with the Discover Electronics Kits but for the first part you only need an Arduino, a breadboard, and a few additional parts.
Please try it out and tell me how it goes.
Is there any way to sign up without having a facebook account? We don’t use facebook.
Also, can we come to the class early to purchase the components and set up our laptop?
Thanks.
You would have to ask Skillshare about that. You could pay me directly if you prefer.
Coming to class a bit early is a good idea.
