Get started with Arduino
VUsing the open-source platform Arduino, you can read sensors and generate actions in an easy and inexpensive way. Considering that many regular applications of the Arduino environment are mainly aimed at robotics and measuring factors in a non-aquatic environment, this technology remains a mystery to many.
In the context of the Smart WaterUse project, Blue Cluster wants to offer its members the opportunity to discover this platform. For this reason, we are organising a workshop on this topic on 1 February, in cooperation with the Ghent University Marine Training Platform.
In this workshop, a trial set-up will be built that can be used in aquatic monitoring (fresh and salt water) in various production environments and sectors. In addition to an introduction via the trial set-up, training tools will also be developed that can be made available to companies.
For whom?
Companies active in the aquaculture, food or textile sectors that are interested in exploring the possibilities of Arduino.
After the workshop, you will be able to build your own set-up, read collected data and concretely integrate them in a specific setting. As the technology is open-source, you will be able to find easy and cheap sensor solutions to specific problems.

How to participate?
You can register until one week before the workshop by completing the web form. You can register separately for the 2 days.
Members of the Smart WaterUse project guidance committee can participate free of charge. Other parties pay € 75 for one day or € 140 for both days.
Only 20 candidates can participate in the hands-on workshop, so the earlier you register, the better. If the workshop cannot take place because of COVID-19 measures, it will not be invoiced.
Smart WaterUse
The Smart WaterUse project focuses on managing water risks and the smart water management within the (marine) food, aquaculture, textile and tourism industries. The aim is to allow companies to optimise their water consumption and reuse. To increase the efficiency of water-saving measures, water management techniques are best controlled by sensors.
