Workshop - E.T.I.
Arduino For Total Newbies
''Learn Arduino using TV-B-Gone as an example project''<br>
<br>
You've probably heard lots about '''Arduino'''. But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a '''TV-B-Gone''' remote control out of an '''Arduino''' you can take home with you.
Arduino is an amazingly powerful tool that is very simple to learn to use. It was designed so that artists and non-geeks can start from nothing, and make something cool happen in less than 90 minutes. Yet, it is powerful enough so that uber-geeks can use it for their projects as well.
This workshop is easy enough for '''''total newbies''''' to learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino.
Taught by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_Altman Mitch Altman]. Participants will make their own Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own TV-B-Gone remote control to turn off TVs in public places -- a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can.
''Big thanks to Ken Shirriff, who came up with the original [http://www.arcfn.com/2009/12/tv-b-gone-for-arduino.html TV-B-Gone for Arduino].''
== Workshop Itinerary ==
* Intro to Arduino
* Very short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics!
* Then we will learn to solder. Don't let this scare you! I've taught tens of thousands of people to solder, most of whom have never made anything before in their lives. It is actually a very easy skill to learn. It is also very useful.
* Then we will each make our own Arduino clone from a kit made by Samurai Circuits: [https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/u_do_it_duino_complete.php U-Do-It-Duino].
* Now that we each have our own Arduino, we will set up the free and open-source software on our laptops (if you bring one) -- Windows, MacOS, or Linux are all fine!
* And then its time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Aruino! I'll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you'll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your [https://cornfieldelectronics.com/cfe/u_do_it_duino_complete.php U-Do-It-Duino]. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder.
* Target practice is available after the workshop.

Da zukünftige Quantencomputer besonders gut darin sind, klassische Verschlüsselungen zu knacken, werden andere Formen der Schlüsselgenerierung benötigt. Eine mögliche Lösung ist die Erzeugung von sogenannten Quantenschlüsseln, die eine besondere Eigenheit der Quantenmechanik ausnutzen. Statt mit einzelnen Photonen werden wir im Workshop einen Schlüssel mit dem extra dafür entwickelten Quantenschlüsselgenerator, kurz Qey-Gen, erzeugen. So kann jeder direkt hands-on das Verfahren ...

In this workshop you will learn C through many hands on exercises of varying difficulty or bring-your-own projects. Everyone will be learning on their own time, the only requirement is motivation! Groups welcome as well, and if you already started a small project I can also provide you a small review and perhaps ideas on how to improve. The platform will be mostly Linux and UNIX/POSIX (BSD, macOS, Solaris) due to personal experience there, but Windows is possible as well (with a bit more limited ...
