Each student was given an Android phone, an Arduino board, and
access to a range of electronic components like LEDs and motors.
The workshop began with a short introduction to Arduino and
Android. Then the participants were asked to go independently
through one of our online tutorials. This tutorial explains how to
install all of the necessary software and establish the connection
between the phone and the Arduino. The end result of this tutorial
is an Amarino collection that sends a time tick event every 5
seconds and an Arduino-connected LED that blinks in response to
this event.
