Ever wondered how to get a small electronics project up and running, but never programmed before? This workshop is for you! In this session, you'll be led through a hands-on activity: learning how to connect a user-friendly development board (the Adafruit Circuit Playground) to your Apple or Android phone via bluetooth for remote control purposes. Though we won't complete a full project, you'll walk away with:
-
An understanding of what electronics boards like the Adafruit Circuit Playground are, how they work, and how they can integrate into sewing projects to create wearable technology designs like this one.
-
How to upload software to the board, and how to understand which code snippets to use.
-
How to control the board's LEDs remotely via bluetooth, using your phone.
Note: no previous electronics experience is required! Please bring your phone to this workshop, and register here or using the QR code in the flyer below.
