Introduction to Sensor Technology

The workshop will help participants to understand what a typical embedded system consists of and how it can be assembled to provide meaningful function. They will learn how to interface the Ultrasonic Sensor with Arduino to perform distance of object measurement, and feedback the results via audio visual means.

Participants will be able to download the codes from GitHub for programming, modifications and customization, to achieve a functional detector for various purposes.

This event is open to youths aged 15 - 25 years old
