In this workshop the Modern Alchemists will go through the basics of sensors. We'll have a look at the types of sensors and common communication protocols, as well as run through a basic workshop to illustrate the use of some analogue sensors.Your teacher for the evening:

Your teacher for the night is Michael Struwig. He is a postgraduate Electrical and Electronic Engineering student at Stellenbosch University whose curiosity has led to a keen and developed interest in making electronics do things. The result is hands-on experience with everything from Beaglebones to Raspberry Pis and PICs to Arduinos to Teensys and (recently) with IoT Espressif devices. He has programmed FPGAs in VHDL, written low-level code in Assembler and occasionally writes some of the worst C code known to mankind. With a Masters project in on-animal energy harvesting drawing to a close, Michael has gained a large volume of valuable experience with both embedded devices and the peripherals that can turn a good project into a great one.
