If you are a complete n00b when it comes to electronics and would like a beginners crash course in what they’re all about, there will be an introductory course tomorrow (Feb 28th) led by Scott Hall. If you’re interested and can make it safely through the snow, please RSVP here and come join us! Here’s Scott’s description:

“This is a beginner’s introduction to electronics devices, circuits, and actuators and sensors.  This year I am going to have a on-going series of workshops founding an introduction to electronics up to the simple application of reading and controlling things.

Over the course of 6 or so workshops in 1 year, I hope to bring the attendees some basic knowledge electronics, building up to reading and controlling of devices in your home ala the Smart Home Initiative.  There is going to be a lot of hands on overall (not so much this first time), and the opportunity for the attendees to help steer what they want to learn.

There will be the teaching of electronic test equipment and learning how to design and debug circuits.  How to select parts.  How and where to purchase parts.  What tools to use when.  Even where to find some good reference material.”
