[dorkbotpdx-announce] Arduino Cult Induction -- 27JUL08 -- Introducing the DORKBOARD!

[Donald Delmar Davis]

If you are like me and pay attention to art and robotics you have probably been hearing a lot about the Arduino micro-controller platform and all of the cool things that people are doing with it. In some circles this platform has almost developed a cult like following.  

With the Arduino Cult Induction workshops, DorkbotPDX invites you to drink the cool-aid.

This workshop will introduce DorkbotPDX's locally designed and produced "Dorkboard", which evolved out of experience building projects around the Arduino platform. 

 

DorkbotPDX has put together a cost effective Arduino kit around the Dorkboard and an equally inexpensive programmer. On Sunday, July 27th from 1 to 6 PM  at PNCA (1240 NW Johnson -- Room 205 ) we will help you put yours together. 

 

The cost of the workshop is $25 and is limited to the space  the prebuilt kits we will have on hand (30) so if you want to make sure that you get a spot you can prepay for your kit (paypal this address) or email me to RSVP. 

 

You will need to bring a laptop, a usb cable (standard b type ), a soldering iron (10-20 watt pencil type) and a pair of dikes (wire cutters). We will spend the first few hours putting the kit together and then after taking a short break we will load the software on your computers and use it to program your micro-controller.  Please be prompt as there is lots of ground to cover.

See you there.
