Course Overview
Goal: Teach you what you need to know in order to be able to rapidly prototype an intelligent appliance.
You will learn about:
- 3d design (solidworks, inventor, sketchup)
- 3d physical production (glue, laser cutting, 3d printing0
- Embedded computing (arduino, basic stamp)
- Embedded sensors
- Embedded actuators
How we're going to do it:
- Building physical things:
- Wood bridge
- Rubber band car
- Embedded computing with sensors and actuators
- Arduino (via spark fun tinker kit)
- Build and race a robot:
- Boebot
- Final project
Course Logistics
We will normal meet in CCB 337.
2016 Class Schedule: coming soon.
2015 Class Schedule: 2015 schedule
