Tenet Technetronics is glad to say that we have hosted a Project based learning with Arduino training event for 2 days @ Shri Madhwa Vadiraja Institute of Technology, Udupi. This Workshop was organized by the Dept. of Electronics and Communication in association with BITES and Tenet Technetronics, Bangalore. This event was held on 26th and 27th of October, 2016. Participants were from 1st, 3rd and 5th semester of both Computer Science and Electronics and Communication Department .
It’s a pleasure for hosting this training event and we hearty thanks to the Electronics and Communication department faculties and Management for providing us an opportunity to host this training in their college and making it a successful event.
The main objective of this workshop was based on Project based learning with Arduino and interfacing different digital and analog sensors with micro-controller, and to interface various wireless modules like RF, Bluetooth and ZigBee with Arduino.
On the first day, the very first session was presented by our technical expert Mr. Umashankar Shetty with introduction to the Arduino. Then the session followed up with the Arduino micro-controller platform. It was a brief introduction about the micro-controller, Arduino platform, its features and hardware and software description.
The second session was followed up with hands-on Arduino interfaces with Universal GPIO board. The participants were keen in understanding interfaces with Arduino micro-controllers and they were assigned with tasks, as the session carried on with basic input/output interfaces like making LED glow, blinking an LED, making all 8 LED’s to blink at a same time, reading a digital value from a push-button switch, based on the button pressed the LEDs should turn ON, buzzer to beep, and a counter program to count the no of times the button is being pressed and so on . . .
On the day two, the session continued with hands-on interface with the micro-controller and Analog sensors like Potentiometer (reading analog value and printing on serial monitor), interfacing Light sensor, where analog values were read and based on the intensity of light a series of LED’s were made to glow which is similar to a smart street light, interfacing temperature sensor to measure the room temperature in degree Celsius. The participants were very good in interfacing and rigging the circuits, as well as writing the code. Different tasks were assigned to students while interfacing various sensor.
Later the last session continued with the hands-on interfaces like DC motor to run in forward and backward direction and small application of temperature controlled DC motor, IR sensors to count the number of people entering the room. Accelerometer to read all 3 axes that is x, y and z-axis. Finally we concluded the training event by presenting a demo on Passive RFID reader and interfacing Relay circuit with Arduino to control 230V AC appliance.
At the end of the day the participants were provided with the certificates. The students were interested to attend many such events in future and we had a pretty good feedback from them.
