Electronics

In the electronics workshop it is possible to make electronic interfaces for (interactive) installations using sensors, electric motors, media players, computers et cetera. Most projects will incorporate Arduino or Raspberry Pi programmable controller boards. It is also possible to write your own computer program using the Max/Msp or Python languages. There is intensive collaboration with the metal workshop and other workshops when building electromechanical installations and robotics.
