Class 3 - Electronics & Coding

Synopsys

Build your own incubator, a constant environment for growing microbes. A crash course Arduino programming and digital electronics. During the practical we will start isolating microbes ourselves.

Bill of Materials

This device is the first device in the course that makes use of an Arduno and digital electronics. You may either choose to connect all the components manually, or build the device on top of the BioHack Academy board. Make sure you order the parts in time!

In order to take part in this class you will need the following materials:

• Incubator materials

Additional reading and hacking

• Arduino
  • Getting started with Arduino
  • Ladyada Arduino Tutorials
  • Soldering YouTube video
• Incubators
  • Climaduino
  • Biodesign DIY Incubator

Feeling lazy?

Go ahead and buy an incubator:
