This is a support page for day 8 of an 8-session class is a basic introduction to both electronics and programming the Arduino microprocessor. The intent is to prepare the student for what is currently popular in the maker world, rather than an electronics or engineering degree, and includes some things of interest to amateur radio enthusiasts.
