Getting Started with Arduino and Flex/AS3 Development (by: Sean Moore)

This presentation will explain what the Arduino is, how it’s used and why it’s used. The session will cover how and where to obtain the hardware and software needed for Arduino development with and without Flex and AS3. It will also demonstrate a basic LED blinking example, a temperature sensor example and a PIR motion sensor example. The session will also explain how to get as3glue and serproxy working on your system to enable Arduino circuit development with Flex and AS3.

Here’s the live recording (Connect session) of the preso

Here’s the PPT of the slides and a PDF of the slides

Here’s the schematic to build the PIR Motion Sensor circuit

Here’s also a Fritzing schematic for the PIR Motion Sensor circuit. You can get Fritzing here.

Oh, and a MASSIVE, MASSIVE shout to Igor Costa for inviting me to present at the conference and THANK YOU to everyone who attended!!!!

Happy Arduino’ing everyone!!!

This presentation introduces you to the benefits of Test Driven Development and teaches the fundamentals of TDD practice through a TDD Kata. A Kata is an idea borrowed from martial arts – an exercise done regularly in order to hone the practitioner’s skills – in this case the test-error-code-fail-code-pass cycle. Clearly testing offers reduction of defects and increased code confidence, but this presentation will illustrate how truly Test *Driven* Development brings much deeper benefits. You’ll leave the presentation with a TDD Kata that you can practice to increase your TDD skills and speed over time, and an understanding of why taking time to build TDD in to your workflow pays dividends.
