PICAXE Weekend
Posted by golsson
PICAXE micro controllers are a computers in a chip and with input, process , output, they are an ideal tool in the systems control, mechatronics, electronics, etc context. We thought it would be good to teach people, including teachers about them.
On the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of November, there will be an introductory workshop run by Glenn Olsen in Mandurah. We have hired a venue for the weekend and attendees are invited to stay over if they choose. Some of the topics covered in the workshop include:
Intro to the PICAXE
- Collection of reference materials
- Using an electronics simulator to build basic circuits
PICAXE programming
- Building a PICAXE circuit and incorporating a program.
- Lights, Sounds, Movement
- Inputs and more lights, sounds and movement
- Introduction to some more advanced applications for the PICAXE.
You want to know more about PICAXE?
A couple of per requisites for the workshop:
Bring your lap top to load a copy of the compiler ( but not one of those apple things the software isn’t compatible) for you to play with later. Minimal electronics knowledge required ( you have to know how to turn on your computer).Bring a towel and sun block as the beach is across the road and lunch time activities are up to you.
