Microcontrollers for Tech Ed
Submitted by Mr. Weber
This project will utilize 16 existing BOEbot kits (owned by the Technology Education Department) and incorporate the power of the Arduino microcontroller to develop student skills in electronics, programming, and mechanics. The Arduino is the current microcontroller of choice among inventors, engineers, artists, and hobbyists. Since it is so widely popular, there exists a wealth of knowledge online.
