This workshop is suitable for newcomers to SMT as well as mo re experienced hobbyists who are looking for a reliable method for build ing projects using SMT. We will cover the basics of surface mount parts and the tools necessary to work efficiently with them\, including a tem perature controlled hot plate reflow system which you can build. And we will offer a hands on build session where you will go through all the s teps in populating a PCB with parts and doing the reflow soldering proce ss to end up with a working project. \;\n \;\nNo tools or prior ex perience is required although\, if possible\, please bring a soldering i ron\, some type of magnifier (reading glasses\, visor\, etc)\, a desk or work lamp and a good pair of fine point tweezers. We will have some to ols available to use during the workshop. \;\n \;\nYou will get a circuit board and parts kit for use during the class that is yours to ke ep.\n\nTags: dorkbot\, hacking\, hardware\, soldering\, surface mount\n\ nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250459850 URL:http://dorkbotpdx.org/ SUMMARY:Dorkbot Workshop -- Focused Workshop: Surface Mount LOCATION:Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA): 511 NW Broadway\, Portl and Oregon 97209 US SEQUENCE:7 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120109T021400Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120129T170000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120129T130000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120109T021400Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20131207T101612Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250461822 DESCRIPTION:Learn how to work with surface mount technologies.

But we also like to hear your crazy ideas\, so please come join us and bring your willingne ss to share your brilliance. We'll be the kids with all the coolest stuf f on the table. Hope to see you there.\n\nTags: electronics\, software\, arduino\, hacking\, electricity\, noise\, microcontrollers\, soldering\ , blinkinglights\, wires\, circuits\, lasers\n\nImported from: http://ca lagator.org/events/1250464605 URL:http://dorkbotpdx.org/ SUMMARY:Dorkbot PDX meeting LOCATION:Backspace: 115 NW 5th Ave\, Portland OR 97209 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151102T101136Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151112T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151112T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151102T101136Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151102T101136Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250469324 DESCRIPTION:You can learn to solder! Anyone can. Soldering is a basic ski ll for just about all electronics projects. If you've never soldered bef ore\, this workshop will give you the confidence to solder in less than two hours. If you want to learn how to solder better\, this workshop wil l show you how. If you have soldered before\, this workshop will teach y ou to solder surface mount parts with confidence. \;\n \;\nMitch A ltman\, from Noisebridge\, will be giving one of his famous workshops at PDX Hackerspace. Mitch has taught thousands of people to solder and mak e cool things with microcontrollers at his workshops at hackerspaces\, c onferences and schools almost everywhere. He can teach you\, too\, if yo u like. \;\n \;\nIf you have ever had any curiosity about making s omething with electronics\, then please join us. Anyone and everyone can learn to make cool things. And it’s fun. And easy! You can learn to mak e something cool with electronics in one workshop\, and take your cool p roject home with you! \;\n \;\nWhat \;\nIntro to Soldering Work shop with Mitch Altman \;\n \;\nWhere \;\nPDX Hackerspace \; \n \;\n7608 N Insterstate Ave. \;\n \;\nPortland OR\, 97217 \;\n \;\nWhen \;\n7:00 PM\, Thursday November 12th. (It is totally OK to come late) Stay as little or as long as you like. Most projects t ake about 1 to 2 hours. \;\n \;\nWho \;\nIt is fun to make thin gs in the friendly community of PDX Hackerspace. Come join us. All skill levels welcome. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. \;\n \;\n Cost \;\nInstruction is Free! If you use any kits\, reimbursment for kit price is requested ($10 to $20\, depending on kit). There will be pl enty of cool kits available to build. \;\n \;\n \;\n \;\nAbo ut the Instructor \;\nMitch is the brains behind Cornfield Electronic s\, and one of the co-founders of Noisebridge hackerspace in San Francis co. Mitch is best known as the inventor of TV-B-Gone\, but his list of g reat hacks and cool electronics includes a lot of other great projects. When he is not at Noisebridge building awesome and amazing things\, he i s on the road from hackerspace to Hacker-Con and back again\, sharing hi s love of electronics.\n\nTags: electronics\, soldering\, workshop\n\nIm ported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250469324 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/intro-to-soldering-tickets-19354346371 SUMMARY:Intro to Soldering with Mitch Altman LOCATION:CTRLH - PDX Hackerspace: 7608 N Interstate Ave\, Portland OR 972 17 us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240815T005801Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240817T133000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240817T103000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240815T005801Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20240815T005801Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250481255 DESCRIPTION:The EMF Explorer Badge is an electromagnetic frequency sensin g circuit that lets you listed to the world of hidden electromagnetic fr equencies around you. \;\n \;\nThis workshop will involve building the EMF circuit on a breadboard and experimenting with different values . Then\, there is a chance to build your own EMF Explorer kit and join u s on a sound exploration walkabout. \;\n \;\nThe completed PCB ca n also be worn as a badge on a lanyard\, used to illuminate yourself at night\, and be ready to sniff out hidden EMF signals with the use of hea dphones. No previous electronics experience is required to appreciate an d use this badge\, and it’s a great way to learn more about your world b y exploring the different properties of our surroundings. The kit requir es soldering and runs on two AAA batteries.\n\nTags: soldering\, electro nics\, breadboard\, educational\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/e vents/1250481255 URL:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/emf-explorer-badge-creation-part-i-ticke ts-947642192307 SUMMARY:EMF Explorer Badge Workshop LOCATION:CETI @ PSU: 1855 Southwest Broadway\, Portland OR 97201 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
