I am currently working on a post for the website and I had some questions before I post it.
- Membership levels - Can someone send me the info for what was decided on the new membership levels? I will also update the Membership information page with what you send me.
See this link for the Membership Agreement. Dues are in first section. https://docs.google.com/document/d/13IDa_qxp9yVdE3Qeupc7GEaGRVq08h0bACc2igP0_gI/edit?usp=sharing
- The new space will be available sometime in January pending a CO for the building
. This is my understanding as well.
- Arduino Workshop - I know some of us are working on a workshop for an intro Arduino class, do we have any tentative dates or a description of what the workshop will entail?
Let's say February as the tentative date. The workshop will be for people with no or very little experience with arduino. It will cover (if time allows - probably wqy too much here...) 1) what is the arduino and the basic components; 2) using the IDE to program the arduino including the Serial class and some basic program structures; 3) using I/O pins and controlling LEDs; and 4) using libraries with an ultrasonic distance sensor example and a buzzer example. We will have a limited number of supplies available on a first come first serve basis forthose who don't have their own arduino and components. More details on that and final dates coming in Janaury.
- Tools - Do we have a list of tools that will be available in the new space?
Equipment that we will be bringing in to the space immediately:
- 3D Printers (two with approx 12"x12"x12" build area, one that is smaller)
- Electronics Tools and Prototyping Equipment (Oscilloscopes, power supplies, multi-meters, circuit prototyping equipment, etc)
- Various Hand Tools
- Soldering Equipment
- Several Desktop Computers
- Engine Hoist (for lifting heavy items)
Equipment to be acquired shortly after moving in:
- CNC Router (on loan from a member - assuming that we have an appropriate space for it, and where it can be secured)
- Laser Cutter (hoping to secure funding to purchase one within a few months of moving into the space)
Future items (depending on member interest, and if there is an appropriate space) may include:
- Various Power Tools
- Woodworking Equipment
- Metalworking / Blacksmithing Equipment
- Any other numbers or information we want to report for 2015?
- Maker fair write up - Tom and Steve (or anyone else that was there) can someone write a paragraph of what happened? I want to wrap a few pictures that Steve gave me in some context and promote the upcoming event in February.
