THIS EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED! YOU MUST HAVE PRE_BOOKED TO SELECT THIS EVENT FOR YOUR PERSONAL LIST!

This workshop will be led by osfameron and Adrian McEwen, authors of Designing the Internet of Things. We'll divide the 4 hour workshop into a structured introduction, and a free period, where you can play with more electronics or code depending on your interests.

* First half: Basics of Arduino and Electronics

- connecting Arduino, basics of IDE, basics of C++ for Arduino
- breadboard basics
- wiring up a simple output (LED)
- wiring up a simple input (button, potentiometer)
- more complicated outputs - RGB LED
- connecting to a simple internet app (basic PSGI) to change colour of LED

* Second half: Playtime!

Collaborate with other attendees or work by yourself on, for example:

- more electronics, wiring up a more complicated input/output from our goodie bag
- more client code: play with C++ on the Arduino side
- more server code: extend the basic PSGI you connected to earlier into a full featured Cat/Ox/Mojolicious app
- more Perl interfacing: play with Device::Firmata, Device::Arduino::LCD, or Device::WebIO
