Slides from Open Day event in Novo mesto

1. box
and some PCBs

2. what is it all about?

3. Let’s go back in
history

4. Once upon a time
there was an 8051 micro controller

5. Ah, forget it.

6. History is nice, but
why bother

7. What you really need
to know is

8. Microcontroller is a
computer in a chip
aka small black box with a lot of pins

9. And then
there was this Italian dude

10. Massimo Banzi
and friends

11. Drum roll please

12. Heeeere’s duino
I mean Ar…

13. A lot of boards

14. uno, due, Leonardo, Yun,
Tre, Zero, Micro, Esplora,
Mega, Ethernet, Mega
2560, Robot, Mini, Nano ….

15. Just check arduino.cc
for the latest count

16. But it is just a board
so how to communicate with THE REAL world?

17. I present you
the shield

18. Ooops…
wrong image

19. I present you
the shield(s)

20. Lots, LOTS
of them

21. It’s open way of
design, after all

22. So if there is no shield to
satisfy you.
You can build one.

23. But how do you make
it communicate?

24. Arduino IDE

25. But it only works on
Windows

26. and Mac OSX

27. and Linux

28. Oh, wait ….

29. it works
EVERYWHERE

30. Yes, I was kidding with “it
only works on Windows”

31. Yes, it is a bad joke.

32. No, I will not
repeat that.

33. Back to the topic.

34. Coding for Arduino is
like coding in C

35. Oh, wait … it is C.

36. But it’s really easy.
analog read and send data to computer

38. There are libraries.

39. And a lot of ideas all
over the inter webs[1]
[1] 2009. Die Antwoord, Enter the ninja

40. You can wear Arduino

41. in a heartbeat

42. Have some
automation to do?

43. Enter the Arduino

44. That is all nice and
dandy, but you can’t
create a smart watch

45. I’m glad you asked

46. :)

47. You can do, whatever
you want.

48. Seriously.

49. And remember kids.

50. Tech has no gender.
