Prof. Pradip Kumar Goswami briefed with an introduction to Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Further, The Director of SoT and the Registrar urged the students to get involved with this type of workshop. “This workshop is an option for the participants to extend their knowledge beyond the curriculum and implement their innovative ideas in practice”, Prof. Manoranjan Kalita added. It is worthwhile to mention that Arduino is an open-source microntroller and software based platform and Arduino language is merely a set of C/C++ functions, while Raspberry Pi is a micro-computer, where different type projects can be implemented and it offers a choice of programming languages- Python, C, C++, Java, Scratch, and Ruby all come installed by default on the Raspberry Pi. These embedded systems require less operating time, compact in size and have high efficiency.
Jyoti Kumar Barman (Assistant Professor, Department of EEE) and Mr. Gitu Das (Assistant Professor, Department of EEE), were the resource persons of the workshop, and conducted the sessions successfully in a very interactive and beneficial manner for the participants.
The workshop ended with a formal valedictory session on 21st August. Certificates were awarded to the participants by Fr. Joseph Nellanath, Pro Vice Chancellor, ADBU and Fr.
