This is awesome, I am interested in this board since then you don't
need to buy an expensive arduino mega. Its really cool but I have 4
RAMPS kits already.
I think customers want preassembled boards (that's what ultimachine
says). So would be keen on helping automating fabrication if there's
interest. Maybe could do at this makerplace
Not sure what is going on with this group ... seems like no notices
for meetings been busy last couple of weeks but would be interested in
going next meeting.

Its great there is a hackerspace but if they do not have a free open
meeting session then it sucks.
We had one meeting in my lab and it was awesome but the second meeting
the group totally flaked out on me so I said screw it.
Makerplace should have a open hour or so. Nuecleon was willing on
having this on Saturdays. Its sort of far though.

So, my goal here is to setup and provide a class on electronics, in conjunction with the 3D printing class that John Ecker is setting up. I'm thinking there may be people who want to learn to solder and have some practice with a cheaper board before they try to solder the Gen7 electronics board for the rep rap which is about $20.
I'd like to gauge interest in such a class before I commit to it.
I was thinking they might solder up something easy but still useful like a relay driver, or power regulator, or pulse generator. The cost would be about $10 to $12 for materials, then whatever you want to charge for hosting the class. I'll teach the class for nothing but I'd love to get some credit with you for future use of the facility.
But I can't post the offer if I'm not a member, and I just can't justify the membership when I have a shop up here in Escondido with most of the stuff I need.
So... where do we go? I've got everything required to teach the class, I could do it next weekend or anytime you like. But without some way to sign people up, or find out who is interested, it's dead.
Yes I mean makerplace. Oh that's how it works. I have been meaning to
sign up but right now do not need to use their stuff. Eventually a
laser cutter though.
Everyone probably wants to teach a class over there. So you might wait
in line maybe ...
Anyway it sucks if there is not free session to meet up but then again
its an amazing place and they have invested alot in it. So I can
understand where they are coming from there.
I too contacted them soon after they had an open house .... no dice no reply.

One thing that needs to be done, and one I'm going to attempt to do this weekend is to manufacturer one of these boards myself, also to just get the printer working. i think i have most of the necessary basic components. but we'll see
Mill actually. I got the schematics and the free ged thing to g code. Going to try it out with a marker and paper tonight then mill tomorrow if it works
Umm let me try it out first.
