NYC Resistor

The LED Matrix class went great. We used ceiling tiles to poke into and embed LEDs into them. This worked great!

Zach made up some fantastic printouts for taping onto the tiles to get perfect graphs. Feel free to check out the DXF files or print out the pdfs. (pdfs coming soon)

If you’re interested in learning how to drive LEDs, make sure to come to next weeks class titled Driving LED Displays. - Class Link

Since when were hackers the best thing happening in Avant-garde music? SINCE ALWAYS DUMMY!

This event is curated by Speaker Synth artist Lesley Flanigan.

excerpt:
This Wednesday night at the Tank, a group of amazing people come together for a night of performances based on amplification. It will be AWESOME! A really special opportunity to see such a great, eclectic group of performers all in one night. For my part, I will perform both my latest speaker feedback instruments and Bioluminescence with Luke DuBois. So please come out and join us all for drinks, fun, and sound!

Great writeup on using I2C with an Arduino by Keith.

Very clever video featuring a large handful of famous YouTubers (not imitation actors). Pretty smart stuff.

Knit your way to computer security! This is the kind of thing that we at NYCResistor daydream about during craft nights on Thursday. - Link

Arduino Programming 103: Sensory Overload

Saturday, 1pm-3pm

During this class, we will explore the many different ways of gathering information from the outside world. The NYC Resistor Learner shield has many interesting sensors including a light sensor, a temperature sensor, a knock sensor, and some sliders. We will be examining each of these sensors and showing you how to use them in your programs.

An Arduino and Learner Shield will be provided to each student, but please bring a laptop if possible.

Instructor: Zach Smith

Soldering 101: Basics

Saturday, 4pm-5pm

1 hour, all parts will be provided.

Using a simple electronics kit the student learns the basics of through hole soldering to a circuit board. At the end of the hour, the student will take home an LED blinky of their own construction!

Taught by Jon Santiago

We have tons more classes coming up as well!

Alicia made this awesome cake for Raphael’s birthday, based on his Twitchy kit. So cool!

So here’s a quick preview of the LED Array Jacket. I’m pretty excited it’s managed to light. Currently I am redesigning the driver circuit and boarduino to work with non-solid core wiring and to be more elegant and clean. But I thought this might wet your appetites.
