Hi,
Just
to inform you about a workshop that CADA
- Atmosferas Digital Arts
Center is organizing:
?Let?s Get Physical ? Physical Computing
with Arduino?, Lisbon, 3-6- May, Massimo
Banzi.
About
Arduino (www.arduino.cc)
Arduino is
an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a
development environment that implements the Processing language. Arduino can be
used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software
on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, Max/MSP). The boards can be assembled
by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for
free.
About the Workshop
The
Arduino philosophy is based on making design rather then talking about it. It is
a constant search for faster and more accurate ways to build better prototypes.
We have explored many prototyping techniques and developed ways of thinking with
our hands.
This
workshop has a strong practical component. At the end of the workshop
participants will devellop a mini-project.
