C Programming through Arduino
The whole idea of the workshop was to shift the teaching of Digital Design away from the blackboard to the breadboard. The workshop was concieved by Dr. G V V Sharma after having taught the Digital Design course at IIT Hyderabad through Arduino for two semesters. As part of the training program, the participants have to perform a series of simple experiments on a breadboard using an arduino, seven segment display and the corresponding decoder IC.These experiments are so simple when executed in a sequence that non-technical students can also be trained with a little effort.
In fact, the workshop can be conducted as a short course over one or two months for first semester engineering (all disciplines) students. Such a course can be used for introducing students to Elementary C programming, Digital Logic Design and Electrical Engineering Lab.
