Introduction to microcontrollers and electronics using the Arduino platform

2025-06-26
Lab 3 B702a

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the basics of embedded programming using a handheld game device based on the AVTokyo 2022 badge. While the focus is on programming, we’ll also explore hardware fundamentals such as reading sensor data and displaying text on a screen. The badge hardware will be provided by VPC-Asia. Participants should bring a laptop with the Arduino IDE installed and a micro USB cable.

NOTE. The number of participants is limited. Please sign up at the Graduate School counter.
