Do you have a product design that you’ve been putting off making for a while, but could blast it out in a jiffy with a 35 watt laser?
Want to make a pile of holiday decorations but hate all that cutting?
Would your loved one appreciate an engraved gift personalized from you?
Come take the laser class! It cuts wood, acrylic, paper, foamcore, leather, acetal, mylar and a lot of other things. It etches aluminum, steel, and glass. We’ll teach you all the basics to get you cutting your own designs.

555 Timer Un-Boxed

The 555 Timer IC is a classic from the days of analog electronics tinkering, hacking, and other good clean fun. Learn how the 555 can measure time! Blink an LED! Play music! Control a Servo motor! Output PWM! Wireless IR link to Arduino! Think of this as your Grandfather’s Arduino. The workshop will cover the basic configurations of the chip and what’s going on inside. Then we’ll explore more custom circuits and learn about how resistors and capacitors work together to control charge, and time events. You will get a kit with all the parts needed, a 9V battery and a breadboard. If you have your own servo, please bring it in.

This class is taught by Joel Murphy. Click here to sign up.

All NYC Resistor classes are for people 18-years and up.  Sorry, no minors.

Note the subliminal signals we’re sending to Mitch Altman. There’s the golden trophy in the background (never mind that it’s Adam’s Calculus trophy) and Herb’s wearing Mitch’s Trip Glasses. There are TV B Gone kits 10 feet from the BarBot too.

Freeduino board and parts

This is your friendly introductory class to soldering and micro-controllers.  In this three-hour class we will:

  • Solder together a Freeduino board (an Arduino Duemilanove-compatible board)
  • Learn how to program it using the Arduino environment
  • Wire up several circuits and load up code to read sensors and light LEDs
  • Cover variables, functions, basic Arduino functionality
  • Show you how to get more help in the future for all your projects

When you leave, you’ll have a micro-controller, a mini-USB cable, a power supply and a few programs to play with.

The class will be taught by NYC Resistor members Jon Santiago & Kellbot.

Please bring a laptop with the Arduino environment on it.  It’s available at http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software.
