Hi.
I thought some on this list might be interested in an upcoming workshop being
offered by PDXElectroHax <http://www.meetup.com/PDXElectroHax/> and Pattern
Agents <http://patternagents.github.io/about/index.html>. It’s a great
opportunity for hands-on learning about Programmable Hardware — the Cypress
PSoC, in particular.

Programmable Hardware Workshop Series
This workshop is the first in a series presented by PDXElectroHax
<http://www.meetup.com/PDXElectroHax/> and PatternAgents
<http://patternagents.github.io/>using programmable hardware and systems. If
you have wanted to learn more about using programmable hardware, like Field
Programmable Gate Arrays, Programmable System on Chip devices, Programmable
Logic Devices and more; in a easy-paced, hand's-on environment, then this is
the workshop series for you. Applications include lighting, motor/motion
control, sensor monitoring and more.
