Arduino Cult Induction 30OCT11 at ADX

Introducing the TAD (a Through-hole Arduino compatible Design).

 

 

During this quarter’s induction we are going to try something different.

We are going to build a complete arduino compatible board made entirely of through hole components.  Called the TAD (for Through hole Arduino compatible Design) The board uses the same footprint as the arduino but does not require any surface mount components. This workshop will be lite on lecture and heavy on putting the thing together so be prepared to solder.

What:

This is a an opportunity for 13 people to build their own TAD , A complete microprocessor based development environment which is very popular with artists and other creative people. Suspect Devices has put together a kit which takes the surface mount out of the arduino. This seminar is to walk you through putting yours together and programming it

Where:

ADX — SE 11th between Oak and Stark

When:

Sunday October 30, 2011 from 1 to 5pm

You Bring

• A laptop

• A pair of dikes (wire cutters/nippers)

You will get

• An Arduino that you built yourself.
• A very brief introduction to the Arduino
• Help when you need it
• To know that what you built worked at least once

How do I rsvp?
