Kit Overview
Kit
- No course textbook
- There are two required kits this course
- #1 you pick up from the ITP office in RRB (M-F @ 9-5)
- #2 you purchased from Sparkfun (link was emailed to you). Please purchased this as soon as possible
- This includes all the most of the components we will discuss during the semester
- Kit parts and pictures
Student Responsibilities
-
Have kit with you for class each day (if this isn’t feasible, then check the course schedule for the parts needed that are needed for the current week)
-
Maintain components in working order
- Instructor may provide replacements for lost components on a limited basis. Beyond that, you will have to find replacements on your own
- If you stay enrolled (past week 3 drop deadline), the ITP kit is yours to keep.
Recommendation for Organization
-
Store small components in parts box
-
Alternatively, create store in individual small envelopes
Recommendation for Organization
- Keep everything protected in large case
Particle Photon 2
- The Photon 2 is the microcontroller we will use for our all projects
- Similar to an Arduino, this is the “brains” of our projects (just like the processor in our computers)
- Handle it carefully
