DAY 4: Physical Computing with Arduino ( DFRobot Assembly - Make it Talk )

What is Physical Computing? Some Videos Project Activity

PHYSICAL COMPUTING
Physical computing, in the broadest sense, means building interactive physical systems by the use of software and hardware that can sense and respond to the analog world.
(denition by Wikipedia)

PHYSICAL COMPUTING
Physical Computing is about prototyping with electronics, turning sensors, actuators and microcontrollers into materials for designers and artists.
(denition by Arduino)

A DEVELOPMENT PHILOPSOPHY
The Arduino Way
making instead of talking getting lost hacking

THE ARDUINO PHILOSOPHY IS BASED ON

MAKING DESIGN RATHER THAN TALKING ABOUT IT

Some Project Videos

Arduino project Computer-controlled vehicle Sun Tracking Solar Panel w Arduino - Powers ITSELF!!! Firefighting VIDEO

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Write code on your Computer Upload it to the Arduino board Arduino board can then be used standalone

MORE STUFF TO CONNECT

sensors: distance sensor, temperature sensors, gyro scope,

actuators: leds, piezo speakers, electrical motors, etc. etc.
