An Introduction to No-Code Programming for Biology
No-Code Programming for Biology
Introduction
This video will introduce you to the No-code Programming for Biology video series. This series has been developed by the Biomaker programme to accompany the No-Code Programming for Biology online course.
We developed the No-Code programming for Biology course because we wanted to make it easier for biologists to start with building their own devices, but the tutorials can be followed by anyone who wants to get started with no-code programming of Arduino devices.
The course uses the free visual programming software XOD and the hardware is based on a low-cost Arduino microcontroller and Open Smart components, making it low-cost and easily accessible.
The following tutorials are available, with more to follow:
How to connect and test your Arduino board: • How to connect and test your Arduino board
Connecting external components to your Arduino board: • Connecting external components to your Ard...
If you have any questions let us know in the comments and we’ll do our best to help.
You can find more information about the course and a downloadable pdf handbook on the Biomaker website: www.biomaker.org/nocode-programming-for-biology-handbook
Biomaker is funded by OpenPlant, one of the UK's four Synthetic Biology Research Centres (SBRCs) and SynBio IRC, the Synthetic Biology Interdisciplinary Research Centre at the University of Cambridge.
XOD software is available for free download from www.xod.io
All parts of the Biomaker 2020 Starter Kit, including the Arduino Rich UNO R3 board were purchased from Open Smart at www.open-smart.aliexpress.com/store/1199788
