Subject: Nixie Clock Soldering Class

Hi,

I've been showing off our new Nixie clock
(http://www.akafugu.jp/posts/products/nixie/)
at the hacker space weekly meeting. The intention is to have a soldering
workshop at
the hacker space, but I haven't been successful in setting it up yet.

Is there anyone on this list that can help me?

There is also Simpleclock
(http://www.akafugu.jp/posts/products/simpleclock/) a LCD
clock kit that I can hold a separate class for. This should be simple for
beginners to
solder.

I am a willing victim for either class. Preferably Nixie.

I am not good at setting up events.

Hello Per,

I swiped a pic from your website and wrote up the event:
http://www.tokyohackerspace.org/en/event/2012-10-07-build-a-nixie-tub...

It hasn't been published, so please feel free to mail me back with any
changes. I just put a placemarker time, date, and price.

I'll be making a SimpleClock event next.

Hi,

Thanks for setting up the events.

Pricing should be as follows:

* Nixie: 15.000 JPY
* Simpleclock: 3200 JPY

Both prices include all necessary components as well as acrylic
enclosure/stand

Oh, and I am ok with the times you set up.

Firmware for both the simpleclock and nixie are Arduino-based.

(here: https://github.com/akafugu/simpleclock
and here: https://github.com/akafugu/akafugu_nixie_clock)

Programming for either will require a FTDI Adapter (will offer
pre-assembled ones for a small additional
charge for people who don't have them).

Hope to have time in both classes to show how to get the firmware
and program them. If time permits I'd like to show how to make a
small modification as well.

Yes, of course :) We will donate a percentage of each unit sold.
I'm also guessing that you will add an extra class charge that goes
directly to THS (like you did when we had our VFD class).

Scott! Long time no see!

I've just changed the price for the class to be quite a bit higher, so
please don't be surprised about it. The kit is a lot more expensive
than I first realized, I guess nixie tubes are getting trendy.

Hi,

Is it possible to change the starting time of the class to be in the
daytime?
If we start at 19:30 I don't think we'll be able to finish as soldering the
clock
from start to finish is quite time consuming.

Oh, and Nixie tubes are very trendy and getting more expensive and rarer
by the day :) It will be a sad day when they are all gone.

dam I won't be able to get there by that time, more like 4-4:30.
The soldering won't be a problem I can do it quickly, but is it possible to
hold off the programming until I get there?

Hi Scott,

The soldering will take up the bulk of the time, so programming won't be
until after 5 at the earliest I think.

I forgot to mention one thing: Programming requires an FTDI adapter.
If you already have one, please bring it (any one that has a 6-pin female
header marked with
GND, CTS, VCC, TXI, RXI, DTR or similar should work).

If you don't have an FTDI adapter, we will bring a bunch as well.

Hi Per,

We got 5 signups, so I went ahead and closed the class. I think there
would be interest in another if you can suggest another time. This one
wasn't even publicized apart from a couple posts on the mailing list
and some Facebook shares.

I won't be available over the weekend, could we make sure the space
gets opened? Chris S, you're going to be there, right?

Hi,

We can bring a couple of soldering stations, so depending on how many stations you have we can accommodate a few more people.

Would love to do another class too, we can produce more clocks on short notice.

Be sure that the non member signups are valid, and not just bots grabbing
