We are proud and excited to sponsor Try/Catch 2023. This year, our D-Shop is taking center-stage at the event. The D-shop team will be presenting one of their many physical projects they build in-office, the “Physical Computing with Arduino and Neopixel Light Strip” workshop. In this exciting workshop, beginners to programming will be introduced to the popular Arduino microcontroller and will be progressively taught how to program the Arduino using the Processing language. You will program the Arduino to control colourful Neopixel light strips and will also interact with your programs using digital switches (buttons) and analog potentiometers (knobs). Building on everything that has been taught, the workshop will conclude with a fun game. This high engaging and fun workshop is suitable for complete beginners. We hope you find this workshop insightful!
