PROPOSAL

OPEN SOURCE HARDWARE CENTER We plan to establish a centre focusing on Arduino (www.arduino.cc) Electronics prototyping platform Eimple and open source hardware design. A single board micro controller with embedded input, output support and a standard programming language such as C, Java, sketch, Python …

OBJECTIVES To train the students in developing the Arduino boards and guiding them in doing projects with open source software. To broadbase student interests and skills into hands-on hardware projects. Enhancing the employability of students. Making programming an exciting topic. Making the project-based learning into a enjoyable hobby (rather than chore).

Arduino is a hardware platform A physical Input / Output board with a programmable IC.

… a development platform Has an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for programming. The language itself is based on C, called sketch Java, Python, Ruby also available

Why Arduino? Open - both Hardware and Software Cheap- can be built from standard components – Rs. 200 only Serial, USB communication with a computer Can be powered from USB also Can design wide range of small-to- medium complexity tasks

ACTION PLAN

PLAN OF ACTION Building arduino boards by students with the support of faculty. Developing better student projects. Conducting workshops to enable other colleges to do both. Offer internships to students.

POTENTIAL AUDIENCE 25 Engineering Colleges 20 Polytechnics 22 Science Colleges 50,000+ Students and 1200+ faculty All in Zone 5, within 100 km radius
