 SPARKFUN ARDUINO KITS

  

Core Electronics run some of the best on-line course modules for Arduino and we highly recommend you check out their Webpage for all things electronic.

This is their easy step by step workshop based on the SparkFun Arduino Kits which of which we have 6.  Links to Online Workshops can be found under How To


ABOUT ARDUINO SPARKFUN INVENTORS WORKSHOPS

Welcome to the Arduino Workshop, where you'll be able to follow our guided course which covers everything you'll need to know in order to create your own Arduino projects and become a levelled up maker. My name is Sam and along with being a maker myself, I also enjoy teaching others how to use different technology and create amazing projects. Along with the course videos themselves, you can find all of the related course material such as code examples, circuit diagrams, images, and other resources.

We'll be working with Arduino so you'll need an Arduino board to follow this course. We'll be introducing many different concepts including working with various types of hardware such as sensors, displays, and general electronics components, and the kit we're using for all of this is the Sparkfun Inventors Kit.

Course Goals:

  • Understand what an Arduino is and how it works
  • Learn how to use an Arduino safely
  • Program your Arduino using code that you've written in the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
  • Learn programming concepts using C and C along with Arduino specific programming
  • Understand best practice concepts for programming and prototyping
  • Use a wide variety of hardware and components and prototype your projects using a breadboard
  • Build your own innovative project with Arduino

 

We have 6 kits available at Ourimbah Library which can be sent up to the Auchmuty Popup with a few days notice - contact us by email.
