Not necessarily: “Building stuff is neat but it’s practical applications that keeps people interested.” It’s different for different people.
Anyway, make.br looks cool.

Building stuff is neat but it’s practical applications that keeps people interested. I’ve been very pleased to see the renewed interest in this forum recently - it would be nice if it can continue.

Have you ever wondered how a bunch of wires and strange looking parts come together to make a functioning device? Or have you dabbled in electronics before and need a bit of review or just want to learn more and build a cool project? Whichever your situation, join us for a two part class and walk away with an awesome Joule Thief flashlight and loads of knowledge! We'll start off with an introduction on the first day to the various circuit components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, LEDs, transistors, etc.... We'll build some simple circuits on breadboards to showcase each component's abilities and make sure you have the necessary knowledge for part 2. In the second session we'll build up a Joule Thief circuit on a breadboard, discuss how/why it works, and then you'll solder it into a compact self-contained circuit to take home. (Part 2 will require soldering, so if you need to learn how to solder, join us an hour early on Thursday for an intro to soldering.) Part 1: Tuesday, July 26, 7:00 - 9:00pm Part 2: Thursday, July 28, 7:00 - 9:00pm Standard cost: $50 (Plus separate $15 for the soldering class) + processing fees www.makebr.com<http://www.makebr.com> _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@brlug.net<mailto:General@brlug.net> http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
