AWS1 - Arduino Workshop Intro

Today we kicked our HCI day off with some Arduino basics. While I was trying to get my setup running again and Visual Studio Code kept me busy with SSH connecting loops, , during the course we learned more about basics such as the crucialty of resistors, proper circuits.

Wait, which SSH loops - Why Visual Studio Code for Arduino?

My Arduino board is connected to a Banana Pi with VS Code server

Owning one of the newer MacBooks that were designed for bad typing experience, noisy fans and the minimal possible port(un)availability I am facing unusual challenges. Also due to the fact I fried one of my ports once before I became rather cautious about this device and using offbrand-adapters.

Having that challenge combined with the assumption, we would work on that project in a group setting and would need to collaborate, I followed a different approach from the beginning

Remote development with Arduino + your favourite micro computer (e.g. Raspberry Pi)

Prototyping with TinkerCAD

• So far, I had minor issues where the circuit did not work although copied 1:1 from another setup. What I was trying to do is to copy a setup, adjust the code and have 2 similar setups next to each other. I was messing around for 20 minutes until I realized it can only be fixed by building it again from scratch. Some information might get lost in the clipboard (JSON, whatever)
