Sunday, March 22, 2009 from 6:00 PM - 8:00 AM (ET)
Come out and support the Willoughby and Baltic electronics lab with our second fund raising workshop! The first one allowed us to purchase an oscilloscope as well as some newer soldering irons and tools. Those who attended the first workshop will appreciate the better tools, which will also be more readily available this time around, and of much higher quality. Thanks to everyone who helped out!
This time we will be building the TV-B-Gone kit (http://www.ladyada.net/make/tvbgone/). With this, you will be able to turn off virtually any TV with the push of a button. The kit is much higher power than a standard TV-B-Gone, and in good conditions you can even turn televisions off from across the street.
Like the last kit, this is an easy first time project, so don't be scared if you don't know how to solder. We will provide all the tools and instruction you will need to put this together (as well as batteries, so you can leave with a working kit). If you've got a soldering iron at home, but never use it, then bring it and we'll teach you how to use that as well. It will give you both a fun and useful project that you'll use afterwards, and you'll have a great time building it.
The last class sold out, so we are offering pre-registration this time. Since we have 20 kits, and we want to prevent crowding, we are splitting the workshop into two blocks of 10. This will also give more people better access to the good soldering irons and tools. We can also go out as a group afterwards and "test" the kits out in the Davis area. Please select the group number you want when signing up.
