Description
The second installment of the advanced level workshop, ADVANCED (Part 2), served as a continuation of the 1st advanced level workshop. This workshop will pick up exactly where the previous workshop ends (the hardware portion). Using the Arduino© desktop development suite, we will walk you through each step of the software development process. Kicking off the session with a quick crash-course on most of the essential know-how to code for any Arduino© compatible platform. To allow our participants to experience physical computing practice first hand, as well as to exercise the coding knowledges we have learnt, we hand-picked a commercially available 3rd-party Arduino© shield board which housed a wide variety of peripherals on board.
Not side-lining our Powered-up Arduino© UNO board, you may recall that we have a few additional add-ons thrown in to the mix when we designed our board in the previous workshop. We are going to revisit each of the components while wearing an embedded software developer hat. We will share how we could extract the relevant information from component data sheets, using those information to create embedded software to communicate with such components. Topics such as I2C protocol for chip to chip communications will be heavily discussed in this portion.
Once everyone is comfortable with both the Powered-up Arduino© UNO board as well as the Arduino© software development flow, we will wrap up the session nicely by demonstrating how easily anyone could customize Open-Source hardware & software to create a useful everyday electronics appliances. Hopefully by the end of the entire workshops you will be empowered with new skills, ready to tackle your own projects.
Electronics experience is helpful but not required – all are welcome!

We’d love them to come, because this will inspire them as they are the pillar of the future. But we will be dealing with hardware tools as well as chemical, thus, it is ideal to limit it to one child per adult.
Absolutely, children age 13 and above are suitable for this class.
If your child is keen to join but he/she is younger than the mentioned age, please contact us here
Yes, all participants are required to bring your own laptop (with power supply), both Windows and Mac will work.
Yes. Lunch and tea-break will be provided.
We fully understand that you may have a hectic week & you might be reluctant to drive in or send your teenager to class during the weekend. We hear you! Therefore, we have engaged actual “school bus” service to safetly go around and provide pick-up service for our participants (Limited to Penang island for now).
Please make sure to add “School Bus” pick up service add-on during package selection above.
