Eric:

Hardware Hacking Fridays occur every Friday starting at 7PM at Unallocated Space

We encourage you to bring whatever project you want to work on. If you don't have one, show up with a willingness to learn!

If you don't have your own project, we'll have a project ready to go that's suitable for all levels of experience.

Even if you can't tell the difference between a resistor and a capacitor, or have never picked up a soldering iron, we'll teach you everything you need to know to take home a cool hardware hacking project and get you excited about making more!

==Current Emphasis==

Building the Loft Armor! Get some rework practice clearing our large collection of obsolete motherboards and help us build a wrap-around loft armor!

Obsolete motherboard donations for the armor are greatly appreciated!

==Current Schedule==

===September 16 2011 : Show and Tell!===

Come off and give a brief presentation on some projects you've been working on and why we should build them at future HHFs

* Eric : [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9w7XhfvJhE Oscillator Organ] and other projects
* Nick : [http://www.unallocatedspace.org/uas/2011/05/02/kit-build-night-kimono-lanterns/ Tokyo Hackerspace Lantern]

===September 23 2011 : Arduino Uno Kit Build!===

We're going to be building and having some fun with the [http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9950 Arduino Uno] kit from Sparkfun! This is a great intro to hardware hacking and is perfect for people who want to learn how to code for simple hardware projects.

We have these [http://www.unallocatedspace.org/uas/2011/09/14/kit-build-night-ii-arduino-uno/ on sale now]!

Intro to electronics - build a sequencer

2011-10-01T19:23:06Z

Eric:

This workshop is intended as an introduction to electronics as well as a hands on workshop where you will build your own sequencer. The inspiration for this comes from the DIY electronic music community. Special thanks goes to Rich Decibels for his outstanding keyquencer designs on which the final project is based.

This workshop will span approximately 3 separate nights with a possibility for more as needed.
