Upcoming Classes at NYC Resistor!

[Ben Combee]

Just a reminder to you all that we've got some great classes coming up
at NYC Resistor.

First, this Saturday, Raphael is teaching about the wonders of the
Joule Thief! It's a class about how to pull every bit of current
possible out of little batteries. If you want to run something for a
long time, check this out. Details at
http://joulethief.eventbrite.com/.

On Sunday, Liz and Ryan are leading an Arduino workshop where you get
to solder up a Freeduino kit and then make it do amazing things. If
you want to get your hands dirty, this is the class to take. There
are just a few slots left for this one.

On Sunday, October the 25th, Chris is teaching "CPUs 0b1100101: Intro
to computer processors". We've been talking about it here on the list
-- it's all about computer architecture and how those chips that power
your computers and devices work. http://cpus.eventbrite.com/

I'm very excited about the Build Your Own Retrocomputer class on
November 12th. Vince Briel is coming in from afar to lead a session
where you can build one of his kits, including the Replica 1, a clone
of the original Apple I. It's way cooler than having an iPhone.
There also will be a bit of an intro on the Parallax Propeller chip
that's used in both the PockeTerm and Replica 1 included. Details at
http://retrocomputer.eventbrite.com/.

Finally, I'm teaching my popular Webduino class again on November
22nd, just before Thanksgiving. Won't time with your family go even
faster when you've got an Arduino acting as a webserver in your home?
Come to the class and find out how you can make it happen. It's
online at http://webduino.eventbrite.com/.

These classes are fun, and they help keep NYC Resistor alive and in
our great space in downtown Brooklyn. Come down and learn.

Hey guys
Do you have a drill press over there at the space? I recall seeing one.
I need to cut holes in electrical box panel covers for knob holes for
guitar effects boxes im retrofitting. Would I be able to use the press to
drill my holes? How would I arrange it? Let me know when you can. THanks!

Come by on a craft night and ask a member to make it happen.  We won't let you just use it unsupervised due to the safety / liability ( MORE TORT REFORM ) concerns.  But if someone is available and willing it shouldn't be a huge problem.

oh phooey...looks like i missed a great class (radio and antenna
design). any plans on doing this one again in the future?

The Radio and Antenna class was a lot of fun. I think we'll try to
get Foxx in for another session sometime soon.. in the meantime, you
can catch some of his work online at http://www.bsodtv.org/

[Matthew Alhonte]

The Sunday class sounds very neat. Is any soldering experience
required?

[Ryan Micallef]

Nope.  Beginners welcome.  We'll get you soldering in no time.

I sense someone here is smart enough to crack this code and win

Let us know if you're successful!
