Fubarino and Arduino in Microcontroller Systems Class

This past Spring at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, CA, Jacob Christ taught ELEC74 (Microcontroller Systems) using a Fubarino SD. To see an example of one of the class labs, click the link below:

For the student project, most students continued to use Fubarino, but some of them instead chose to use Arduino. The main reasons for choosing to use Arduino vs. Fubarino in the class were as follows:

• They were busy doing labs with Fubarino and had an Arduino board lying around
• There were sample projects or libraries for Arduino that seemed quicker to implement using Arduino
• There were libraries that they couldn't get to work on Fubarino (1.0+ version issue)

The students had a varied set of creative projects, and all who used Arduino agreed that the knowledge they took from learning to program Fubarino was transferable for programming Arduino. Jacob recorded some of the students demonstrating their projects, and you can watch them by clicking any of the links below:

(Interesting as well because he did not use MPIDE but a Plug-In for Visual Studio)
