Tutorial - Parallax Ping))) Ultrasonic Sensor Sense distance with ultrasonic sensors in chapter forty-five of a series originally titled “Getting Started/Moving Forward with Arduino!” by John Boxall – a series of articles on the Arduino universe. The first chapter is here, the complete series is detailed here. Updated 05/02/2013 Whilst being a passenger in a vehicle with a ‘reversing sensors’, I became somewhat curious as to how the sensors operated and how we can make use of them. So for this chapter we will investigate an ultrasonic sensor from Parallax called the Ping)))™ Ultrasonic Distance Sensor. (Memories of Number Five …) Parallax have done a lot of work, the board contains not just the bare sensor hardware but controller circuitry as well: Which is great as it leaves us with only three pins – 5V, GND and signal. How does it work? Good question. The Ping))) only measures a distance when requested – to do this we send a very short HIGH pulse of five microseconds to the signal pin. How do we use it with Arduino? Like this:

Teaching kids how to write computer programs, by Marshall Brain by Marshall Brain Quick Intro - If you are looking for a quick and easy way to teach your kid a real programming language, without downloading anything or buying anything, try these Python tutorials. Your kid will be writing and modifying code in just a few minutes. Marshall Brain's quick and easy Python tutorials Let's say that you have children, and you would like to help them learn computer programming at a youngish age. As the father of four kids, I have tried to approach it from several different angles. Let's start with a something important: Every kid is different. The second thing to realize is that real analytical skills often don't start appearing until age 11 or 12 or 13 in many kids, so expecting huge breakthroughs prior to that may be unrealistic. That being said, there are lots of fun things you can try as early as five or six... Games Let's start with a few games. Then there is this game, which actually does a very good job of teaching simple programming skills: Python for Kids

Hardware Hacking Mx | Lección 6 – Raspberry Pi – Primeros pasos con Python en IDLE Python es un lenguaje de programación muy utilizado al rededor del mundo gracias a su gran capacidad y a su facilidad de aprendizaje. Python cuenta con numerosas herramientas que permiten un rápido desarrollo de software. Además Python fue adoptado como lenguaje de programación que utiliza la Raspberry Pi para aprender a programar y su razón ha sido la gran documentación y herramientas que tiene, además como ya habíamos comentado es muy fácil de aprender. El propósito de esta lección es aprender lo más básico de python y empezar a utilizar algunas herramientas que tiene la Raspi para utilizar Python. En esta lección nos vamos a enfocar en el uso del IDLE con el que cuenta nuestro Raspberry Pi. Y ahora tendremos una ventana como la siguiente donde vamos a hacer nuestro primer “Hola mundo!” print("Hola mundo!") y damos enter para que se ejecute la linea de código que acabamos de escribir Hagamos una operación algo más compleja Para eso vamos a seguir usando el mismo IDLE.

Best Way to Teach Programming to Children? The list below is in no order and just provides a simple reason why it may be a good language for kids to learn. Lisp and Scheme is used heavily in research oriented universities when teaching an introduction to programming and the theory of programming. When I first learned these, I found them difficult to grasp given that I had a procedural background, but academics continue to sing the praises of these languages for ease of learning. There used to be a recommended tool called DrScheme which has now morphed into Racket. Java would not be my recommendation given the extent of the libraries and the difficulties of teaching object oriented programming. C/C++ is probably one of the more difficult paths to take. C# would be an interesting choice when you include the .NET libraries. Visual Basic is an easy language for people to learn, given its BASIC roots, and adding .NET give it the same benefits as C#. Other languages that were mentioned were ML, Prolog, Haskell and REBOL.
10 places where anyone can learn to code Teens, tweens and kids are often referred to as “digital natives.” Having grown up with the Internet, smartphones and tablets, they’re often extraordinarily adept at interacting with digital technology. But Mitch Resnick, who spoke at TEDxBeaconStreet, is skeptical of this descriptor. Sure, young people can text and chat and play games, he says, “but that doesn’t really make you fluent.” Mitch Resnick: Let's teach kids to code Fluency, Resnick proposes in this TED Talk, comes not through interacting with new technologies, but through creating them. The point isn’t to create a generation of programmers, Resnick argues. In his talk, Resnick describes Scratch, the programming software that he and a research group at MIT Media Lab developed to allow people to easily create and share their own interactive games and animations. At Codecademy, you can take lessons on writing simple commands in JavaScript, HTML and CSS, Python and Ruby. While we’re at it: bonus!
