DIY Time

How does one build a watch? It all begins with 3D design and the creation of a 3D-printed watch case and continues with soldering, understanding of the Arduino Uno and Arduino pro mini chipsets and wiring programming (Arduino) ...

 

Tomorrow, January 31, second meeting at the Phyrtual Innovation Gym Fab Lab to learn how to build a Smartwatch.

 

 

The wearable technology lab requires a range of disciplines, abilities and skills, ranging from robotics and electronics to creativity and problem solving. The laboratory is open to anyone aged 13 or older and will be held by Alessio Di Brigida, a nineteen-year old Computer Engineering students at the Rome Sapienza University.
