Day 3 - Wrap Up

Blinking LEDs! Everyone got it! Congratulations! You all did a fantastic job with your boards and programming.

Day 3: Slides and Concepts... and programming

Today we're looking at each others' work, creating sketches, and then working on programming. The big need is also to determine our blowing and casting schedule.

Day 2 of class


Today we had a crash course in electronics, talked about interactivity, and learned to solder. Everyone got through soldering basics, wired up their power cords and got their programming cables mostly finished.



Congratulations!

Soldering went from very simple trials of soldering to a copper board quickly to making working cables.

We spent a lot around the table watching demos and absorbing information.



Tomorrow we'll finish up the cables, then look at each others' slides and sketch. Then we'll start on programming the stamp.
