Arduino course: API status traffic light, at IdeaSquare

Using electronic tools for rapid prototyping, and programming for hardware projects and the big world of Internet-of-Things, is possible if you know how to interface an Arduino. This microcontroller board can represent diverse objects connected to the Internet, for example traffic lights, as in this workshop held by Alberto Perro with the help of Dina Zimmermann. The participants were able to communicate with it, via the Internet, through an API. CERN personnel were able to learn how to make it work without any prior knowledge, and more importantly, to gain comprehension of how software and hardware can communicate.
