Class Description:
Learn about the latest awesome widget from Adafruit Industries, the "Circuit Playground", a wearable microcontroller that has ten multicolor RGB LEDs, a microphone, speaker, accelerometer, light sensor, and other goodies that can make any piece of clothing an interactive light and sound show. The Circuit Playground is an Arduino compatible device, and uses the same well known interface that has been taught previously.
This course will additionally teach you:
The basics of how to work with the Circuit Playground and the Arduino development environment
Simple programming elements (looping, conditional statements, functions, state machines) that make it easier to put a project together,
How to document and maintain your project.
No previous experience necessary.


Class Goals:
Students will learn:
The Arduino platform basics,
How the Arduino is programmed,
How to use the sample included programs,
The basic four elements of digital input, digital output, analog input and analog output,
Basic sensor types included on the Adafruit Circuit Playground; accelerometer, microphone, light and temperature sensor
Basic output devices - Neopixel LEDs for lights, piezo speaker for sound
How to hook up external devices
How to use the Circuit Playground in wearables


Prerequisites:
Students should have a working familiarity with their computer (Mac or Windows) - i.e. how to install programs and device drivers. Students must be at least 18 years of age.
