Sessions
Turning off TVs and monitors in public places is fun!
Learn to solder by making a kit that turns off these annoyances from 50 meters away.
For total beginners.
Enjoy life, and turn off a TV or two today!
TV-B-Gone is an open hardware remote control that can turn off any remotely controllable monitor in public places (or anywhere)! From across the street, through windows, in restaurants, bars, schools, airports... The new V2 of the kit makes it super easy to learn to solder, as well as easy to hack on.
Community Training Itinerary:
- Intro to remote controls
- Learn to solder by making your own TV-B-Gone, step by step
- Target practice is available all over the world after the workshop
Taught by Mitch Altman.
Materials cost:
The workshop is free, but if you would like to partake in the hands-on aspects of the workshop, Mitch will have materials for €20.
Duration:
This community training takes 2 hours.
Learn to solder by making a way-cool, powerful music synthesizer, and
learn how to make cool music, sound, (and noise!) with computer chips
(The fancy word for making sound with a computer chip is Digital Signal Processing or DSP).
The SEC-T Music Synthesizer Badge kit (based on Mitch’s ArduTouch is an open hardware Arduino-compatible music synthesizer kit with a built-in Touch Keyboard, and with built-in speaker/amplifier. It is a really nice performing musical instrument.
This workshop is for total newbies to learn to solder.
This workshop is for total newbies to make their own SEC-T Music Synthesizer Badge and learn to make music, sound (and noise!) with computer chips.
Attendees take their completed synthesizer home at the end of the workshop.
The SEC-T Music Synthesizer comes pre-programmed with a way cool synthesizer. And Mitch will show you how to re-program it with other way cool (and totally different) synthesizers, and how to make your own synthesizers.
For ages 10 - 100.
Learn everything you need to start making electronic projects!
You've probably heard lots about Arduino. But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you.
As an example project, we'll be creating a TV-B-Gone remote control out of an Arduino you can take home with you.
