I have been thinking a lot about not having constant network connectivity. At least for the next week or so I am without it so I will have to work from experience. If you need something you can call me. There was also a time when things other than bills came in the mail.

At the eagle for fabrication workshop on sunday I started with a design that Thomas Lockney threatened to build about a year ago called the Low Fi Arduino Guitar Pedal.
(http://www.instructables.com/id/Lo_fi_Arduino_Guitar_Pedal/)

I wanted to quickly demonstrate using a stepper motor from a floppy drive with the Arduino/Wiring platform as a follow up to the weekend's workshop. By the time we got to the stepper parts I was a bit scattered. So here is an example that I set up yesterday.

On Sunday the 25th I am going to do an animtronicx workshop covering driving
motors, servos and relays with the arduino/wiring platform.
I will be covering the a couple of popular chips: The l293D for
driving motors , and the ULN2803 darlington array for driving relays,
stepper motors and other devices.
The workshop will cost $35 and will include these chips, a motor, a standard sized servo and a board for the motor driver.
The idea is to get as much hands on and working as possible so please
A while back I started thinking about a way to display stationary bike race results that didn't require either a projector or a really complicated mechanical assembly. The thing that came to mind was a race tree like at the drag races. I asked Amanda who has been running bike events in portland if she could get me 12 lights. I wound up with pile of Bike Planet lights which required about a weeks worth of surgery.
