What? Where?
Come by 83c Wiese St from 8-10PM on Monday December 8 for a cooperative workshop on circuit hacking.
Topics
As interest warrants:
- soldering (everything from through-hole to SMD rework)
- breadboarding
- powering your circuit (bench power supplies, ATX hacking, batteries)
- making LEDs blink and fade
- using AVR / Arduino / Boarduino to make circuits easier
- using oscilloscopes / multimeters to debug circuits
- reverse engineering circuits
- Designing PCBs using GEDA
Who?
Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience level. If you have never made a circuit before and have no idea where to start, bring $20 to cover materials cost for a Brain Machine kit and build it.
Why?
Please come with an idea, or a question, or a circuit you want to hack. Research ideas on the Internet ahead of time and come put them into practice!
What can I bring to help?
- multimeters (we have just 2 at 83c)
- Arduino / clones
- USB - serial dongle for your Arduino
- breadboards
- 9V batteries (a bulk donation would be great)
I am a blank slate! What should I do?
- make an Arduino fade an RGB LED in varying color patterns.
- make an Arduino illuminate a 3x3 LED matrix in varying shapes.
- build an IR -> visible LED transducer and reverse-engineer the Picco-Z Microhelicopter remote control
- reverse engineer the LED sign circuitry donated by ACCRC
- build a test circuit for one of our RepRap boards
