EEE Dept’s workshop for Polytechnic College students in great demand!

Mr Arun Xavier (AP, EEE Dept), Mr Deepak V Dev (AP, EEE Dept) and Mr Shibin P V (TI, EEE Dept) led the sessions. The workshop concluded with a valedictory function in which certificates are distributed to the participants.

Topics covered

In the various sessions, students got familiarized with various development boards of Arduino and learnt the development environment for Arduino. Working with Arduino I/O pin was taught initially and students were made to run small practicals like blinking LED, interfacing push-button switch. Following are some of the topics covered in detail:

  • Digital read/write
  • Analog read/write
  • Actuator control
  • Control of indicating devices
About Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs – light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. We can tell our board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so we use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.
