This workshop is for beginners who already have some knowledge on the use and programming of an Arduino Board. It is the sequel of our Arduino Level 1 workshop. You will learn how to use and program some basics and cheap components, sensors and actuators with an Arduino board.

The goal is to learn :

• to collect some data from a sensor (temperatures, distances, brightness, humidity, presence of an object…)
• to process these data
• to display some results on the serial monitor of the Arduino, and if necessary, to control external modules through relays.
