workshop01 – meeting02

This workshop will be an introduction to soldering, programming, sensors and other electronics in and out of the Arduino.

4:00pm: Soldering and Fabrication demos
If you haven’t built a circuit and/or want to know what some of those little bits are inside a computer, come and melt some tin/lead while learning a few more TLAs (3 letter acronyms). While this may be of interest to but a few beginners, it could also be a chance to solder up your own stuff in good company. Anyone want to build their own Arduino or assemble a shield?

5:30pm: Programming
An intro to the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) with some demos and discussion. This could be a walk through of some of the rudimentary examples from the arduino.cc learning pages or a discussion of the more subtle implications of the Arduino’s software paradigms.

7:00pm: Project presentations/proposals and feedback
This can be a critique if you want feedback from your peers. Or it could be a demo of some cool thing you have discovered or invented. Perhaps you want to try out a new recipe on our discerning pallets? Or maybe you just want some technical advice about how to make your cool new gadget/art installation idea a reality. This section will transition into the consumption of cocktails and treats as defined by what you bring to share.

Please RSVP here

A: Club Arduino is an excuse for people to gather and exchange ideas about teaching and learning with the Arduino

Q: What should participants bring?
A: Bring your Arduino projects, documentation, research or proposals. You may also bring other projects that are related to micro-controllers, programming or sensors and actuators. If it is a workshop meeting, please bring an Arduino board or let us know if you want to borrow one of ours.

Q: Who will be there?
A: Mostly people from our loose network of teachers and artists around the Bay Area who have an interest in interactive artworks and systems.

Q: Will there be any snacks?
Yes! Italian apéritifs and snacks will be provided, but feel free to bring something to share.

Q: I want to participate! How do I find out more information?
A: Please RSVP here or send us an email at: northp AT mac DOT com.

Saturday evening, July 10, at 6PM

Location: 2810 Mabel St, Berkeley, CA, 94702

The informal agenda is:

1. Brief introductions
2. Sudhu will present his large project using multiple Arduinos
3. Show and tell of Arduino projects from anyone interested (please let
me know if you are interested)
4. Discussion of problems, techniques, and solutions. Beginner as well
as advanced issues are welcome.
5. Socializing, snacking, and help for any beginners who wish it

What to bring:
* Your Arduino project, if you have one, whether planned, in progress,
or complete; or pictures or other documentation if it’s too big
* Club Arduino is free, but snacks or drinks to share are welcomed
* Curiosity and interest

What is Club Arduino?

Club Arduino was founded to support and inspire Arduino enthusiasts at
all levels. We encourage beginners or the curious to bring their ideas,
questions, and problems. We encouraged the more advanced Arduino users
to share their knowledge, projects, problems, techniques, and solutions.

Thumbdrives with the Arduino IDE will be available for anyone who wishes
to install this on their laptop at the meeting. The Arduino IDE is
completely free and runs on Mac OS, Linux, and Windows.

Club Arduino Membership requirements:
None! If you are interested, or think you might be, you might already be
a member.

(I can bring Arduinos for sale if anyone wants. Let me know.)

Questions? Write me.

Saturday the 16th of January from 1-4pm

The ShipYard will host us in their swank mezzanine.

Some format options:

1) 2-3 presentations, such as a novel use of Arduino, interesting details of a project, or deeper details on some feature we may not all be familiar with.
2) Building session, where people work on projects, either individually or in groups. The goal is twofold: to provide a supportive environment for beginners, and to shame those of us who too easily put things off to do something.
3) Informal sharing, discussing, asking and answering of questions, and exchanging ideas, tips, and resources.
The format of the last meeting was of informal sharing, and although very informative and enjoyable I think we need a little more focus to keep the interest level up.
Perhaps we can rotate among different formats.
I encourage you to share your feedback with the entire list, including ideas for other formats.

Some of us will be gathering at the Shipyard to share and learn from
each other about Arduino related topics. Everyone is welcome.
The Agenda is very loose so if you have any specifics you want to advocate for or want to present to the group, please coordinate with our host, Michael at Michael Shiloh (one word) dot Com.

Sunday, November 22, 4-7pm

Location: The Shipyard, 1010 Murray Street, Berkeley, CA
