[dorkbotpdx-announce] Motors and servos and relays oh my! (Workshop, Sunday 24aug08)

[Donald Delmar Davis]

Now that I know at least 50 people who have working arduino's around
here somewhere I thought we should get some things moving (literally).

A week from sunday I am going to do a workshop covering driving
motors, servos and relays with the arduino/wiring platform.
I will be covering the a couple of popular chips: The l293D for
driving motors , and the ULN2803 darlington array for driving relays,
stepper motors and other devices.
The workshop will cost $25 and will include these chips, least one
motor, a relay, a small servo and a board (tbd).

The idea is to get as much hands on and working as possible so please
bring your arduino,freeduino,or dorkboard, a soldering iron, your
laptop and we will get our hands dirty.
I am limited to 20 on this one so please RSVP if you can.

Don.
