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-tube-clock

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.

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).

[lauren shannon]

Ok so richard, please add on an amount for class for members and a
larger for nonmembers. If you send me the final info I will start to
circulate on my end too
Thanks

signed up for the nixie class,

 

can't wait for this class, awesome

[Richard Frankum]

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.

-Per

[Richard Frankum]

Sure, what time would suit you?

[Richard Frankum]

Changed the time to 3:30pm, next Sunday October 7.

[per-akafugu]

Excellent!

[Scott]

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?

[per-akafugu]

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.

-Per

[Richard Frankum]

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?

[Per Johan Groland]

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.

-Per

[MRE]

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

[Karl Backström]

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?

I will come to the meeting tomorrow so we can discuss how to open/close. Also I don't live far from Shibuya.

Thanks for the message, actually I don't have a FTDI cable (but have been meaning to get one for a while) so if possible I would lke to buy one of yours on the day.

[Scott]

Sure... will bring a few FTDI adapters for sale for those who don't have one already.
