(Hardware specialists: use this page to organize your work)

We have a lot of really fun electronic equipment to use for the exhibits. To begin, I am going to give each of the hardware specialists their own Arduino board to take home and learn how to use. (Arduino is basically a tiny computer—about the size of a deck of cards—that can be easily hooked up to sensors in the real world.) The Arduino board is programmed in a version of the Processing programming language, which is the language that the programmers are also learning. I have a very wide variety of different kinds of sensors that you will be able to use. The best place to start is with Lady Ada's Arduino Tutorial. When you've finished working through that, you can read through the Physical Computing book for more information and ideas.
