=**SCIRIA APPLIED-MIND**= June 4th 5th TBC
 * Electronic/programming workshops 2008

Day one : Electronics workshop Making interactive circuits with Arduino boards: Using Sensors Analogue to digital converters LEDs

Day two : Connecting Arduino to the ethernet How to write programs using Wiring/Processing/Java/AS3 Implementing code Good practice Troubleshooting**

Leon Barker a researcher into Gesture Technology, comes in on Thursday late afternoons to the digital arts studio at wilson road. He is willing to help people with their electronic projects. He can also help with almost any(!) type of programming problems, or how to get sensors+electronic equipment to communicate with each other or a computer. Andy's buying 3 [|Arduino Boards] which can be used for these type of projects and work well with the [|Processing] language. These workshops are open to all students from all courses.**
