This page is for the Westport High School Robotics Club, other clubs are welcome to use this page as well, as long as the content makes sense for the club, other material should go on other pages. This years page a lot like last year's page, but different.

**As an assignment go to instructables and search on Arduino. Find a project to tell us about that you think is interesting. It does not have to be a project you want to do.

This year we are going to switch our attention to Arduino based projects ( but as usual any electronics platform is open for consideration ). See: [[Microcontrollers for Beginners]]. We will also connect the Arduino to our PC so that programs on the can talk to programs on the PC and programs on the Arduino can talk to each other. You should see the page [[Beginners Setup for Arduino and Processing]] for the setup you will need. | This year we are going to switch our attention to Arduino based projects ( but as usual any electronics platform is open for consideration ).
