A free workshop at Flux
DorkbotPDX is happy to offer a 4-hour intro to Processing -- a graphics programming environment. Students will learn the basics of Processing.
No prior programming experience required!
Source code: Processing_Fundamentals
Built with Processing and Processing.js
...with a popcorn popper and a microcontroller! More to come...
Hey everyone! I'm the lead organizer for the Portland Indie Game Squad. Our funding project recently surpassed most of its goals – which are all resources being made available to the community – and I'm coming up with some higher-tier options. A 3d printer is definitely on my list for the board game/miniature game developers in the group, and I've been asking around for what people might recommend as a "beginner" setup, somewhere between $400 and $600.
This weekend my friend Jacob S. and I built a Arduino based music box to play Ville-Matias Heikkilä wonderful one-line C code that makes surprisingly complex "Music From Very Short Programs."
DorkbotPDX is happy to offer a free workshop as an introduction to Pure Data (Pd).

Where: Flux 412 NW Couch Street, #222 (map)
Bring: A laptop and headphones
Instructors: Jesse Mejia, Alex Norman, Jason Plumb, Edward Sharp
I like to put my projects on Instructables and I wanted to share this recent post.

I'm working on an SMS device that is programmed in the Arduino IDE and uses a tiny chorded keyboard for input, a SIM900 GSM module to accept standard AT commands, and a Nokia5110 LCD to display output. I stopped by earlier this evening and Paul (thanks Paul!) helped me debug. I've posted a thread on the Arduino.cc forum http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=206415 but basically I'm having trouble getting my sketch to run in the tiny 2K of RAM available on the ATmega328.
I ride an electric bicycle that uses a 48V battery for it's energy source and there have been times when it would have been convenient to have a USB charging port (for charging my phone or any other other device that can recharge from a USB port). So I built this USB charging port (basically a DC-to-DC converter capable of handling up to 60V input voltage). I used the OSH Park circuit board prototyping service which worked perfectly. I wrote an instructable about the build here:
Before Backspace closed, we managed to show this off:

The project will be at the 2014 BYTE ME show on Jan 3rd, at the Afru Gallery.
