This is a one day instructor-led hands-on workshop is for designers, artists and anyone else who wants to learn how to create physical interaction devices using the arduino microcontroller in the framework of Fritzing. No prior knowledge of arduino or electronics is necessary as you will be taught from scratch.
When and Where?
Zing ting is on Saturday 18 September 2010 11.30am till 5pm on the 5th floor meeting room pod at Peckham library.
Who Can attend?
Anyone with an interest/would like to develop an interest in physical computing, arduino adn the Fritzing framework. You don’t need prior knowledge of electronics just bags of enthusiasm.
What you’ll need to bring
A laptop, macbook, netbook with administrator password.
About Fritzing
Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers and artists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product. We are aiming to create a software in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, that allows the designer/artist/researcher/hobbyist to document their Arduino-based prototype and create a PCB layout for manufacturing. The complimenting website helps to share and discuss drafts and experiences as well as to reduce manufacturing costs.
Workshop Leader
Stefan Hermann
Stefan tutors in physical computing at the the Interaction Design Lab at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, Germany. He is also the author of a German language Arduino tutorial.
Opening times: Sat 11.30am - 5pm
