EmbedX - An introductory workshop on Embedded Systems

EmbedX is a 2-day workshop that introduces students to the world of embedded technology using the open-source Arduino platform and Atmega168 microcontroller. The workshop is tailor-made to give participants hands-on experience in working with microcontrollers. The Workshop takes a project oriented approach, where students would be building a complete closed loop control project.
Students get a certificate and a takeaway kit.

Duration: 2 Days
