2-Day Workshop on Arduino: Basics to Automation & Robotics
The Electrical Department organized a two-day hands-on workshop titled “Arduino: Basics to Automation & Robotics” for Second-Year Electrical Engineering students on February 3rd and 10th, 2025. The workshop witnessed the enthusiastic participation of 60 students, who actively engaged in interactive learning sessions focused on embedded systems, sensor interfacing, and real-world automation applications.
The workshop was structured into four in-depth daily sessions, covering Arduino fundamentals, sensor integration, and automation projects. The first day provided students with a strong foundation in microcontrollers, Arduino IDE setup, basic programming, and interfacing of digital and analogue components. Hands-on exercises involved working with essential sensors such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, IR, ultrasonic, smoke, and LDR sensors, helping students understand sensor integration and data acquisition. On the second day, participants advanced to real-time automation applications, implementing projects like home automation, smart irrigation systems, obstacle detection, and line-follower robots. The sessions emphasized debugging, troubleshooting, and optimizing Arduino-based systems for enhanced functionality.
