Workshop on Arduino Simulation using Tinkercad
A Workshop on Arduino Simulation using Tinkercad was organized by the department of B.Sc.(I.T) on 13th March 2021. The total 62 students have participated from S.Y. and T.Y. B.Sc. (I.T.).The Workshop commenced with the introduction of embedded system and Microprocessor architecture and explained the objectives and importance of the workshop.
The motive behind conducting this seminar was to introduce the basic idea about Arduino and using Arduino how students can able to create thousands of different projects and applications. The Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform in electronics based on easy-to-use hardware and software flexible enough for advanced users. It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. The session started with keynote description on Arduino board and then simulation on Arduino using Tinkercad application by Mr. Bibin Mathews, (M.Tech, EXTC).
The session was conducted for two hours. It provided the insights of how students use Arduino board to build low cost scientific instruments, to prove chemistry and physics principles, or to get started with programming and robotics.
Arduino is a microcontroller based prototyping board which can be used in developing digital devices that can read inputs like finger on a button, touch on a screen, light on a sensor etc. and turning it in to output like switching on an LED, rotating a motor, playing songs through a speaker etc .Participants were indeed curious to provide various solutions.
