1.Tag 10. September - Introduction Arduino, Basics Puredata

say hello
install arduino software (arduino 017)
first example: Hands on some basic Arduino code – control LED, sound & servo with analoginput

--break&dance

getting physical/sensory information via arduino into the computer & play around
install puredata software (pd-extended; pduino)
Pduino introduction in the basis of pduino-help
Arduino hardware example with lightsensor/resistor illustrate the use of analog input
Spectrum of signals:
digital/analog in & out; frequencies (what is possible); voltage/current; what makes sense to connect within pd

--break&dance

learning more about the communication from arduino to puredata & within puredata itself
Basics Puredata
- basic introduction into puredata / dataflow paradigm
- explore puredata primitives and their properties (objects/messages/guis)
- create own patches (probably giving examples: timing, mapping, randomizing, pd and time, sound generators, simple gem example)
- understand & modify other prefabricated patches

homework: don't forget to elektrotrash!

2.Tag 11. September - Basics Electronics

Basic electronics to connect sensors to the arduino
Breadboard to build circuits without soldering
How translate schematics onto the breadboard; URI Leistung; concept of voltage divider; passive Bauteile: Widerstand, Transistor, Diode(Gleichrichter) Schaltungsarten: Relais, Transistor, Mosfet (RC-Glied)

--break&dance

actuators - putting information back into physical space
Handout on actuators - groupwork - review from the groups:
- controlling dc-motors, servo motors, solenoids - switching lights, LEDs...
- Mosfets/Relais/Halbleiterrelais/Triac to switch 220V device like coffee machine, 220V light bulb etc.

take a look at hardware trash
work on own project

3.Tag 12. September - tinker, presentation

Self-help assistance - starting/managing own projects
- where to get hardware - where to find further help? forum, chat, list
- search, modify & use prefabricated patches
- work on own project ideas (getting help from course teachers)

--break&dance

roundabound presentation
