Autmaduino was tested in a 3 day workshop in April 2022. For this I created workshop materials including presentations, work sheets and cheat sheets. The material is designed for beginners. Day 1 introduces the basic Arduino features and introduces Automaduino. Day 2 features the input and output components and introduces more complex transitions. Day 3 is about the transition to textbased programming. Finally there is a quiz to test your knowledge.
This the multi-page printable view of this section. Click here to print.
