Introduction to the AVR Micro Controller

Have you ever wanted to learn more about how to integrate micro controllers into your project? Do you want to avoid putting a $30 Arduino into your project that you'll just have to rip out later? Do you have some basic programming skills? Come learn about AVR Micro Controllers at Philadelphia's hackerspace, Hive76 (http://www.hive76.org/)!

Fubarlabs (http://www.fubarlabs.com/) hackerspace member Keith Chester (http://roboticmusings.blogspot.com/) Will be teaching the course at Hive76. Students will receive an Atmega168 (the micro controller behind the famous Arduino platform), a breadboard, power supply components, and a number of peripheral sensors to take home with them. The course will cover the basics of AVR micro controllers, including:

-Setting up your development environment
-Digital input and outputs
-Interrupts
-Analog to Digital Input

and, time permitting,

-Timers
-Serial communication


Do you want to bring your own hardware? No problem - there's an instruction only ticket as well!

Tickets are sold on eventbrite, and must be bought ahead of time.

All proceeds goes to fund both non-profit hackerspaces, Hive76 and FUBARLabs.
