Join Raymond Duncan and Rob Newell in an immersive Balloon Workshop that spans five days, where participants delve into the world of Arduino programming, basic coding, and sensor integration. The workshop covers breadboard wiring, LED control, and atmospheric data collection using BMP sensors. Through practical activities, participants engage in balloon launches while utilizing wireless communication via XBEE and learn to program GUIs to display sensor data. Reflect on your experiences with temperature, pressure, and altitude measurements, addressing challenges and surprises throughout this innovative learning journey.

Balloon Workshop By Raymond Duncan Rob Newell
DAY 1 • Introduced to Arduino • Started learning basic coding • Learned breadboard wiring • Basic programs • Blink: flashing LED • LED Flashing side to side • Potentiometer and light sensor to control the LEDs
DAY 2 • Introduced to ArduinoFio • Learned code for BMP (atmosphere sensor) • Learned Serial Monitor code • Display values read from sensor • Wireless Serial Monitor With XBEE
Day 3 • First Balloon Launch • XBEE, ArduinoFio, Lithium battery, and BMP
Day 4 • Learned to program a GUI in a processing software • Second Balloon launch Day 5 • Programed data to save to file • Third Balloon launch
Conclusion • What did you learn? • What surprised you? • What was the most frustrating aspect of the project?
