A Hands-on Workshop on “Arduino Programming” was conducted by Prof. Upendra D. Patil, Assistant Professor of Department of Electronics and Computer Science, PHCET under IETE Students forum, one of the leading Professional Society in India on 6th March, 2023 for second year engineering students of Electronics and Computer Science department.
Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments. A worldwide community of makers – students, hobbyists, artists, programmers and professionals – has gathered around this open-source platform, their contributions have added up to an incredible amount of accessible knowledge that can be of great help to novices and experts alike. Arduino has been used in thousands of different projects and applications. The Arduino software is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users. It runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. Teachers and students use it to build low cost scientific instruments, to prove chemistry and physics principles, or to get started with programming and robotics. Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms. Hence Arduino board can be used in embedded systems design for prototyping microcontroller based systems to save time and money.
The event started with “National Anthem” at 10:30 a.m. This workshop was delivered by Prof. Upendra Patil. Prof. Mithun Nair and Prof. Shashikant Renushe coordinated hands-on-session for batch wise group of students.
Following points have been covered during the workshop:
- Introduction to Embedded System Design
- Requirement of prototyping in Embedded System Design
- Arduino as prototyping hardware and software
- Arduino IDE
- Arduino programming language
- Digital and Analog Interface
The workshop ended with Vote of thanks by IETE Student Council Members from SE ECS.
