As the Internet of Things explodes, it is critical that technicians learn how sensors are integrated with electronics. This workshop will demonstrate the use of MEMS kits in tandem with Arduino Uno microcontrollers and LabView software. Participants will learn how pressure sensor devices and cantilever beams are built and used in educational environments. Participants will be provided mini-MEMS kits that will include pressure sensors and cantilevers with attached strain gauges. Both sensors will interface with an Arduino UNO and custom shield. The Arduino will be controlled by a PC running custom LabView data acquisition code. Participants will receive all the material and software used in the workshop. Participants must bring their own laptops.
