I’m making a really tiny board and I thought I’d share a picture of it. It’s a little tiny data gathering widget with an RGB LED on it for feedback. There’s an AVR there too. It’s 1.25″ square. I think it looks nifty!

Flylogic engineering blog provides in depth analysis of common Integrated Circuits and occasionally points out serious flaws in their design. Currently the site isn’t very large, but it is jam packed with truly awesome visuals of some of our favorite ICs. If anything, you’ll find yourself in absolute awe of 2 dollar components that we use daily without ever really giving consideration to the complexity of.
Personally this has to be one of my top ten favorite all time websites. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

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

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
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!
