The course includes several [[Tasks SoSe2020|tasks]]. First, there is a self-paced preparation phase with individual tasks. Then there is a group task to explore how connecting devices in different locations over the internet works. And finally, there is the group project. This is the main thing - you should make a fun hardaware sketch!

Here are some recent changes:

Course

At this point there is only one course (summer term 2020 at LMU) ... but we hope for more in the future. Please go to the course page for details, timeline, and requirements LMU_SKWH_2020

Foreword to the Sketching With Hardware wiki

TODO - basically what we had in the first live session

Learning Goals

The overall learning goal is the equip students with skills to Envision a new interactive physical object and implements a functional prototype, this includes:

  • understand why sketching with hardware is relevant
  • understand the challenges in creating function prototypes
  • being able to create basic hardware sketches
  • being able to program and debug MicroPython on ESP32/ESP8266
  • being able to build basic circuits connected to the microcontroller, including
    • output: LEDs, servos, motors, speakers, display
    • input: buttons, dials, sliders, LDR, accelerometer, distance, I2C sensors
  • being able to program basic networking (network variables)
