Our fall Arduino 101 class at Tam Makers is off to a great start. I taught this evening course with my associates Donald Day and Edward Janne on September 14, 2016, at the woodshop in Tam High School in Mill Valley.
We welcomed a wonderful group of seven students, including adults with diverse backgrounds, as well as a high school student. We started by giving our students an overview of the popular Arduino board. We then learned how to light up an LED, add a button to turn it on and off, and play a sound with a piezzo buzzer.
Students accomplished all these steps successfully, and seemed to really enjoy this class and told us they learned a lot from it. We’re really happy that this course is going so well and we look forward to teaching next week’s class.

This is where the Arduino is connected to treh Roomba main board's H-Bridge. The small grey and yellow wires are the ones that send a PWM signal to the board from teh Arduino.
Twisting the Ground strands together so that I can solder a wire to them. The insulation wrapping the Signal wire is exposed; that gets stripped, twisted, and soldered to next.
This enclosure will house the Arduino and Ethernet Shield. It will be mounted in the boiler room on the inside of the house. Here are the markings for cutouts that I made for the Arduino/Ethernet Shield.
We taught a workshop on how to create interactive art with the Arduino platform at the Mill Valley Library on October 24, 2015.
We showed 9 students how to make lights blink, sounds play, motors move, and how to add more color with neopixel LEDs, as described in this online guide we created for the workshop:
At the end of the workshop, we asked participants if they would like to this again, and the answer was a resounding yes! Participants told us they learned a lot from this workshop and would not only come back for future workshops, but also recommend this program to their friends.
Instructors for this workshop were Donald Day and Fabrice Florin, with support from Natalie Frederick and Jean Bolte. We are all members of Pataphysical Studios, the art collective behind the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine’, our poetic oracle.
Come visit the exhibit this month! We’re open every Saturday and Sunday in October, from 1 to 5pm, in the downstairs conference room of the Mill Valley Library.
Special thanks to the Mill Valley Library and the Friends of the Library for making these workshops possible — especially Kristen Clarke, who helped us get the Arduino parts and set up for the workshop.

In order to flash the ESC, I needed to build a programming adapter that would connect to the pads on the PCB. I used an old piece of stripboard to which I soldered short pieces of silver wire.
Aiming the PS3Eye camera at an LED. The LED is being blinked every 4443 * 4 clock cycles of a 16 MHz Arduino (approximately 900 Hz). Given that the camera is running at 640 x 480 @ 30 fps, this translates to bars of light that are 16 pixels high.
