Random Microcontrollers
Random Microcontrollers for building "Fire Breathing Robots..."
This is an Introduction Unit for my Random Microcontroller Boards Resource Page, so that means it's a Mish-Mash of Lessons, Labs and stuff that has to do with the Random Microcontroller Boards I have in class. This Unit will answer the following questions:
What are the the Microcontrollers we have access to:
Let's get started... Its going to be a fun, awesome ride...
Sid Bar for Teachers: This Unit and lessons is really about how I start my class. Many of the lessons might be specific to my class, but you could probably adjust them for your class. I'll try to make them a neutral as I can, so they can be used in any Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or any other Engineering / Technology class. Let me know how I can make that better. I'll try to keep this unit current and relevant. Please let me know if any resource links are broken or not accessible. Use this email link to let me know what is broken @ TopClown@STEAMClown.org

Learning Objective:
- Introduction to my Random Microcontrollers
- Labs and Robot Club Projects
- Learn about industry boards and Equipment
- Explore Mechanical and Coding Brainstorming to solve challenges
- None - You Be You
- PC, Laptop or Other device to access the LinkedIn application
- Each lesson will have specific items needed to complete the labs and tasks
Prerequisites:
No explicit prerequisite course work or coding knowledge is required, but students are expected to have a good understanding of basic computer principles.
Caution & Safety Considerations:
Primer: "Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"
As with any activity, please make sure you are using appropriate safety equipment. If you are coding, writing, reading, or working a lab, make sure you stand up and stretch every hour or so, Please consider any safety issues connecting to a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, computers and other electronic equipment.
