Makerspace Workshop, Part III

makerspace workshop part III

***DATE CHANGE***

Part III of the Makerspace tutorials will take place on Wednesday, April 2 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in room G70 of the Killam Library.

***Please note: This workshop is for those who have completed either Part I or Part II of the Makerspace Workshops, as this workshop will build on skills learned in the first two sessions.  

This workshop will cover:

Circuit #7 – Temperature Sensor
Circuit #12 – Spinning a Motor
Circuit #15 – LCD

These three circuits work well together to create a self-contained project: a temperature-controlled fan with an LCD display of temperature. The LCD for this project looks something like this: http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Tutorial/lcd_photo.png

Makerspace Workshop

Imagine creating a simple machine that will water your plants. Or hacking your coffee maker so that it will make coffee before you get out of bed. Artists, designers, hobbyists, and tinkerers are learning new and easy techniques to bring such projects to life.

The Dalhousie Libraries, in partnership with the Halifax Makerspace, want to get you started in the basics of electronics and the Arduino platform. Arduinos are a piece of technology that you can fit in the palm of your hand, connecting your project to electronics, giving it “life.”

This will be the first in a series of workshops that will help you understand how the technology works. No prior knowledge is necessary and we provide all the materials you’ll need. The first workshop will teach you how to set up an LED that’s controlled by a small program and one that’s controlled by a dial. Later workshops will explore buttons, motors and sensors.

The workshop will take place Wednesday, February 12 from 12:30–1:30 p.m. in the Killam Library, room G70. Seating is limited, so please email libsys@dal.ca asking to register for the Makerspace Workshop. We can’t wait to see you!
