== Abstract: ==
''Learn to solder together a cool, powerful music synthesizer,        and learn to make cool music, sound, and noise!''
[[File:ArduTouchWorkshopEMF.jpg|right|500px|ArduTouch workshop at EMF Camp 2018]] 

[https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/projects.php#ardutouch ArduTouch] is an [https://github.com/maltman23/ArduTouch open source] Arduino-compatible music synthesizer kit with a built-in touch keyboard, and with built-in speaker/amplifier. 

This workshop is for '''''total newbies''''' to learn to solder and make their own ArduTouch music synthesizer. 

The ArduTouch comes pre-programmed with a way cool synthesizer. And I will show you how to re-program it with other way cool (and totally different) synthesizers. 

== Full Description: ==
Participants will all learn to solder and make an ArduTouch music synthesizer from a kit. I guarantee it will work when you're done! 

The ArduTouch comes pre-programmed with a really nice music synthesizer (a 4-voice sawtooth waveform generator) -- called "Thick", that makes super phat sounds. 

An ArduTouch Arduino library is available for programming in more super nice synthesizers, with lots and lots of features. The library also comes with many way cool example synthesizer sketches that also serve as a tutorial for making your own ArduTouch synthesizers (which are Arduino sketches). 

ArduTouch currently has 9 totally different synthesizers available! Synth sounds include way beautiful to metal to noise to drones, and also a drum/bass machine sequencer. The newest synth is called "Quadrant", which makes spacey psychedelic music or harsh musical sounds reminiscent of The Residents.

For those who want to learn more, the documentation teaches the basics of Digital Signal Processing for audio generation. 

This workshop is for '''''total newbies'''''!

Taught by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman Mitch Altman].

== Full Description: ==
'''[http://arduino.cc/ Arduino]''' is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that experienced expert geeks can use it for their projects as well.

This workshop is easy enough for '''''total newbies''''' to '''learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino.'''

Taught by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman Mitch Altman]. Participants will make their own Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can.

* Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught tens of thousands of people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful.

* Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Samurai Circuits: [https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/u_do_it_duino_complete.php U-Do-It-Duino].

* Now that we each have our own Arduino board, we will set up the free and open-source Arduino software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, Linux, and MacOS are all fine!

* And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your Arduino clone board. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder.

''Learn Arduino using TV-B-Gone as an example project'' 
 
You've probably heard lots about [http://arduino.cc/ Arduino]. But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote control out of an [http://arduino.cc/ Arduino] you can take home with you.
 
'''When''': 
   June 1st, Saturday: 2:30pm - 6:00pm

== Full Description: ==
'''[http://arduino.cc/ Arduino]''' is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that experienced expert geeks can use it for their projects as well.

This workshop is easy enough for '''''total newbies''''' to '''learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino.'''

Taught by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman Mitch Altman]. Participants will make their own Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can.

''Big thanks to Ken Shirriff, who came up with the original [http://www.arcfn.com/2009/12/tv-b-gone-for-arduino.html TV-B-Gone for Arduino].''

'''Materials costs''': 
The workshop is free, but if you would like to partake in the hands-on aspects of the workshop, Mitch will have materials for '''€40''' (useful for making many different cool projects).

== Workshop Itinerary ==
* Intro to Arduino

* Very short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics!

* Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught tens of thousands of people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful.

* Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Samurai Circuits: [https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/u_do_it_duino_complete.php U-Do-It-Duino].

* Now that we each have our own Arduino board, we will set up the free and open-source Arduino software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, Linux, and MacOS are all fine!

* And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your Arduino clone board. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder.

* Target practice is available all over the world after the workshop.

[https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/projects.php#ardutouch ArduTouch] is an [https://github.com/maltman23/ArduTouch open source] Arduino-compatible music synthesizer kit with a built-in touch keyboard, and with built-in speaker/amplifier. 

This workshop is for '''''total newbies''''' to learn to solder and make their own ArduTouch music synthesizer. 

The ArduTouch comes pre-programmed with a way cool synthesizer. And I will show you how to re-program it with other way cool (and totally different) synthesizers. 

== Full Description: ==
Participants will all learn to solder and make an ArduTouch music synthesizer from a kit. I guarantee it will work when you're done! 

The ArduTouch comes pre-programmed with a really nice music synthesizer (a 4-voice sawtooth waveform generator) -- called "Thick", that makes super phat sounds. 

An ArduTouch Arduino library is available for programming in more super nice synthesizers, with lots and lots of features. The library also comes with many way cool example synthesizer sketches that also serve as a tutorial for making your own ArduTouch synthesizers (which are Arduino sketches). 

ArduTouch currently has 9 totally different synthesizers available! Synth sounds include way beautiful to metal to noise to drones, and also a drum/bass machine sequencer. The newest synth is called "Quadrant", which makes spacey psychedelic music or harsh musical sounds reminiscent of The Residents.

For those who want to learn more, the documentation teaches the basics of Digital Signal Processing for audio generation. 

This workshop is for '''''total newbies'''''!

Taught by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman Mitch Altman].

''[[User:Maltman23|Mitch]] gave a talk on his ArduTouch music synthesizer kit (including a tutorial on Digital Signal Process for total newbies) at [https://livestream.com/internetsociety2/hope/videos/178394812 The Circle of HOPE] and at [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19HyMgVYKnA EMF Camp 2018].''

I'll show you everything you need to know to use existing programs -- as-is, or to hack on -- to control the colors in your world with LED strips.

== Workshop Itinerary ==
* Intro to Red-Green-Blue (RGB) LEDs 
* Brief intro to Arduino 
* How to use an Arduino to control an LED strip 
* Some demos of programs you can download 

== Software ==
OPTIONAL: bring a laptop if you want it set up for programming LED strips. 
If you bring a laptop, please download the free and open source Arduino software before the workshop -- Windows, Linux, or MacOS are all fine!:

''Learn Arduino using TV-B-Gone as an example project'' 
 
You've probably heard lots about [http://arduino.cc/ Arduino]. But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote control out of an [http://arduino.cc/ Arduino] you can take home with you.
 
'''When''': 
   June 1st, Saturday: 2:30pm - 6:00pm

'''More info''' on the Arduino For Total Newbies workshop page:

== Full Description: ==
'''[http://arduino.cc/ Arduino]''' is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that experienced expert geeks can use it for their projects as well.

This workshop is easy enough for '''''total newbies''''' to '''learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino.'''

Taught by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman Mitch Altman]. Participants will make their own Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can.

''Big thanks to Ken Shirriff, who came up with the original [http://www.arcfn.com/2009/12/tv-b-gone-for-arduino.html TV-B-Gone for Arduino].''

'''Materials costs''': 
The workshop is free, but if you would like to partake in the hands-on aspects of the workshop, Mitch will have materials for '''€40''' (useful for making many different cool projects).

'''Workshop page:''' 
[http://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/projects/tvbg_arduino/tvbg_arduino_workshop.php Arduino For Total Newbies workshop page]

== Workshop Itinerary ==
* Intro to Arduino

* Very short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics!

* Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught tens of thousands of people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful.

* Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Samurai Circuits: [https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/u_do_it_duino_complete.php U-Do-It-Duino].

* Now that we each have our own Arduino board, we will set up the free and open-source Arduino software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, Linux, and MacOS are all fine!

* And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your Arduino clone board. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder.

* Target practice is available all over the world after the workshop.

'''[http://arduino.cc/ Arduino]''' is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that experienced expert geeks can use it for their projects as well.

This workshop is easy enough for '''''total newbies''''' to '''learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino.'''

Taught by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman Mitch Altman]. Participants will make their own Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own [http://www.tvbgone.com TV-B-Gone] remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can.

''Big thanks to Ken Shirriff, who came up with the original [http://www.arcfn.com/2009/12/tv-b-gone-for-arduino.html TV-B-Gone for Arduino].''

'''Materials costs''': 
The workshop is free, but if you would like to partake in the hands-on aspects of the workshop, Mitch will have materials for '''€40''' (useful for making many different cool projects).

== Workshop Itinerary ==
* Intro to Arduino

* Very short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics!

* Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught tens of thousands of people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful.

* Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Samurai Circuits: [https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/u_do_it_duino_complete.php U-Do-It-Duino].

* Now that we each have our own Arduino board, we will set up the free and open-source Arduino software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, Linux, and MacOS are all fine!

* And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your Arduino clone board. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder.

* Target practice is available all over the world after the workshop.
