Wiki Currently Under Major Revision
This is not perfect documentation. This is a shared space for us to keep the most helpful and accurate things each of us knows or learns about our tools. We need your help! If you are willing to share what you learn with others, please request editor access in the mfx-wiki channel on slack. No special skills or experience required.
Classes:Intro To Arduino
Description
Learn the basics of Arduino and electronics with our instructor. We will be using our DuinoKit Jr. learning kits (http://duinokit.com/store/home/8-duinokit-jr-754748002672.html).
This is also a great time to discuss your project with others that are interested in Arduino. You may also want to join the #arduino channel in our slack discussion group. (Request a slack invite here (http://www.makerfx.org/wp-login.php?action=slack-invitation))
If you are bringing your own computer, please install the latest Arduino IDE (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software), and the CH340 USB drivers (http://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html) (or hit google). If you do not have a computer for this workshop, we will have Chromebooks available for use.
