Thank you

Thank you Erich and Marius for a good workshop, and thank you to all the participants for making it a good time.

Summary day 4

This day started exceptionally well with croissants as a nice surprise. After this, Erich impressed us all by showing us some of the different sensors we can connect to the arduino board. Some examples were: light sensors (photoresistors), accelerometers, ultrasonic sensors and PIR sensors. We also learned about the many different modes of communication between microcontroller devices including infra-red, wireless LAN, RF, and Bluetooth.

Filled with new inspiration, we looked at how to connect two or more sensors to the arduino board and discussed different techniques for solving problems in the code.

The lunch was as good as always and was finished of with some good ‘tangible’ cake. The rest of the day we spent working on our individual fields of interest.
