EL_P: Intro to LEDS using TinkerCAD (Online)

We've moved. This event is still OPEN TO SIGN UPS -->> https://portal.nova-labs.org/event-4239150

This class will introduce students to LEDs, how they work, different
kinds available and how to light them.
TinkerCAD will be briefly introduced and where functionally supported,
TinkerCAD examples will be used to illustrate how LEDs are used in
circuits and how to control their illumination using Arduino UNO.

The class will introduce a single color and RGB discrete LEDs, LED
strips and NEOPIXELS.

Prerequisites
Some exposure to electricity and simple programming would be useful.

Preparation/Tools
You will need to sign up for a free account at TinkerCAD before class.
• TinkerCAD is a web-based simulator, you do not have to download
anything. You do have to make an account with a login. After you are
logged in, the circuits simulation selection is below the 3D CAD on
the start page
• Register for an account: Go to web page www.tinkercad.com
• Log into TinkerCAD; it will help if you have also accessed TinkerCAD
Circuits (below the “3D Designs” option) and looked at the interface
before class.

Virtual Classroom Access - Zoom link will be visible to registrants
upon sign-up under the 'location' info.
