Workshops on electronics, microcontrollers and programming

Workshops on electronics, microcontrollers and programming will take place on February 18-19, 2023 at the Center for Innovation and Technology Transfer Management in the computer room number 1.07. The workshops are dedicated for students and doctoral students of universities in Poland, during which participants will learn the basics of programming Arduino boards and develop their skills in creating simple control and measurement systems. The workshop will be conducted in the Arduino IDE environment, so knowledge of C++ is welcome, but not required.

Arduino is an open-source electronic platform, the heart of which is the 8-bit Microchip (formely Atmel) AVR microcontroller. It was created as a simple prototyping tool for students with no electronics or programming experience. It enables the creation of control and measurement systems such as: weather stations, plates for medical measurements (ECG, pulse, etc.), home automation systems, etc. Due to its simplicity, Arduino has gained supporters all over the world, in particular in the so-called „Makers”. Due to the growing demand, new Arduino boards dedicated to various purposes were developed, e.g. Internet of Things (IoT), medical measurements, building 3D printers or embedded systems.

Workshop goals:

→ familiarizing students and doctoral students with the basics of programming of microcontrollers on the example of the Arduino board,
→ development of electronic skills of students and doctoral students by creating control and measurement systems,
→ presenting the results of the ENGINE project to the participants, in particular showing a wide range of on-line courses in the field of electronics, microcontrollers and hardware programming.

The event is addressed to the higher education sector and organized as part of the project: "Teaching on-line electronics, microcontrollers and programming in higher education" (Erasmus +, grant number: 2020-1-PL01-KA226-HE-095653).
