Introduction

Hey! I’m Vikrant. I’m an Industrial arts and design practitioner at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology. I find passion in working with different sorts of materials and creating things. I believe that every good design can be a piece of art. Design technologies, art and illustrations are some of my passions and I'd love mastering all of these someday. Through last three years I've tried mastering materials like wood, metal and sun-board. The products and designs that I've worked on, majorly revolve around human lifestyle and daily engagement. Apart from designing I also cook, paint and do poetry.

Introduction to the Basics

Arduino and other components

The first day mostly involved figuring out the things we were not familiar with. This involved figuring out how commands work on Arduino and how the setup works. We started with learning all the functions and properties of different electrical components. Later we moved on to Arduino Uno and learned how to connect components to it. After we got done figuring out the basics, we learned how to program stuff. We started with the most basic one, which was to make a LED light blink. We entered the numerical components required for command to function and it worked. We later experimented with other components like piezo alarm, IR sensor etc. We learned how bread-board is used and how it’s an easy way to experiment things rather than soldering the whole circuit to a certain PCB board.
