Connectionists: Cambridge Open Lab Arduino for Neuroscience Workshop, Brighton, Nov 20-22th

[Mateusz Kostecki]

Hello!

We are happy to announce the first Cambridge Open Lab Workshop, organised
in collaboration with the Open Research Technologies Hub.

Learn how to apply Arduino in your research!

Arduino is a powerful device that you can use to build and program
thousands of devices – from weather stations, through smart house
applications to drones and robots. It has also recently became a powerful
tool used in laboratory – you can use it to control lasers, build automated
mazes or stimulus delivery systems for behavioural experiments – and much
more.  It is easy to learn and doesn’t require previous experience with
programming.

During our workshop, you will learn everything you need to start building
your own devices. We will guide you through the topics ranging from basic
electronics, diodes, trough motors and servos to sensors of all types. You
will learn how to use Arduino to control different research devices and
synchronize them!

After the workshop, you will be able to write complex Arduino programs and
have a knowledge of electronics that will allow you to design devices used
in your lab.

Topics:

- Basic electronics – from electrons to laws
- Controlling devices with Arduino – diodes, motors, servos
- Writing code to control lasers in optogenetic experiments
- Synchronizing devices with Arduino
- Sensing environment – light, temperature, and distance sensors
- Wireless communication
-  Writing complex code in Arduino


The workshop will take place at University of Sussex Library, Brighton, Nov
20-22 2024 from 9 AM to 6 PM. The cost of the workshop is GBP 150.
Registration form can be found here - https://nenckiopenlab.org/arduino-cam/.
The deadline for registration is Oct 30th.
Best,

Mateusz Kostecki
