Hardware & Physical Computing
Many projects in the Media Technology programme involve some physical input/output device connected to a computational unit: a personal computer or a standalone microcontroller. This course introduces microcontrollers, how to program them, and how to connect them to various physical sensors and actuators.
As part of the course, students solder their own microcontroller-based computer (Arduino). After this is accomplished, this small standalone computer must be programmed and used in some creative project.
