This Sunday you can learn to use our Epilog 35 watt laser to rapid prototype that idea you’ve been kicking around. If you’ve got a project, a plan, or if you just want to make an enclosure for your arduino, Astrida will walk you through the steps A-Z. This hands-on class will introduce you to laser cutting, materials, and file preparation.

We have a few slots left in Saturday’s Intro to HTML/CSS class. You’ll be in good hands with professor Alexis, who has vast experience serving the demands of corporate clients. Although she’s got the chops to code for the big dogs, she’ll give you what you need in an easy-to-understand workshop. You’ll be able to make a website with style when you’re done.

Sponsorship for the Open Hardware Summit is open! Special thanks to our sponsors who have already donated.
The summit is in its second iteration in partnership with MAKE and Makerfaire at the New York Hall of Science. Last year, 350 people came together to share knowledge about bringing open hardware to market, solving issues around open design, protocols and licensing. Many more people watched online and got involved in the conversation through the forums and twitter. Together with support from you, we have gained more momentum as a team. The definition we signed last year was turned into a license by CERN. We held a logo competition which received 129 submissions and chose one by popular vote. The summit continues to be about the DIY, Maker, small scale (and growing to large) fabrication movements and Open Hardware, and legalese around open source hardware.
By sponsoring the Open Hardware Summit you’ll be fostering the open source hardware movement. Read more about Why to Sponsor.
This is a non-profit event. Extra funds from sponsorship will be put toward a scholarship for creating open hardware.
Would you like to Sponsor?
Your donation is tax deductible. Thanks to Eyebeam Art and Technology center, our non-profit fiscal sponsor for handling the finances.
There are a few spots left in our Introduction to Programming. Taught by our very own Kellbot!
Learn basic programming concepts in this introductory class. This class is aimed at people who have never programmed before, and we’ll start by learning our way around Python. We’ll cover data types, control flow statements, and a few common libraries used to write programs.

We’re havin’ a heat wave. A tropical heat wave. No worries, Resistor has awesome AC! (by awesome, I mean BIG AC)
Come learn from our resident expert designer, Astrida, how to rapid prototype your idea with our 35Watt Epilog laser. The class will take you from idea to finished cut parts. You’ll learn what you can cut, how much it costs, and get an idea of the overall cost of your project. Afterwards, you’ll be authorized to use the laser on Craft Night and Laser Night for generating your awesome ideas.

Learn HTML/CSS at NYC Resistor this Saturday.
We have chilly AC to keep you and your laptop cool in the forecasted heatwave. You’ll learn basic HTML and CSS mark-up using Aptana to edit and preview your work. No need to fork over $400 to Adobe. You can be coding your internet IPO Saturday afternoon.
We just got a fresh shipment of Club Mate, so you can code ’til you can’t keep your eyes open.

One of NYCR’s most popular weekly events is Lunar Laser Mondays using our Epilog mini-35 laser cutter. The only supported system is Windows with CorelDRAW and Epilog’s closed source driver, which doesn’t seem right for a hackerspace. Luckily, AS220 Labs has figured out how to talk to the Epilog using PJL. I’ve written a command line tool, epilog, that will translate the Postscript file into commands for the cutter.

You can create a magical box that could hack any heating appliance and tell it how to raise the temperature (up to .1 degrees accuracy).
All of the top restaurants in the world use sous vide to make make sure their proteins are perfect. It is a brilliant cooking strategy for so much more than that and it has been hailed as the next microwave.
Come and make your own sous vide machines with Arduino based technology. Experienced food hackers, Q and Abe, from LowerEastKitchen.com, QandAbe.com, and MeatJacuzzi.com, will be your teachers. In our class we will guide beginners from soldering to hacking their own appliance. Snacks will be served and eggs will be provided as your first sous vide meal.
Stay for an hour or the full class— it’s just $20! Additional costs are the kits if you should decide to make one and an appliance of your choice, we highly recommend The Professional Series 30 cup coffee urn (you can buy it from Kmart). Kits are available for $80.
Q and Abe are experts in the field of DIY Sous Vide and Open Source Technology. Their invention and foods have been featured on FoodGawker, CNN, and TasteSpotting.
