Hi all,

we are organizing another Arduino classes in Philadelphia. They just keep selling out. We have room for 14 people. Below are the details, and hope to see you there.

Ah, yes, almost forgot. We are also organizing a Valentine's day, hack your blinking LED heart workshop. Check out all the details at:

-- the hacks.

Have you ever wanted to build something that moves, or introduce some interactivity into your artwork? Or maybe you just want to impress your friends at the next MakePhilly meeting? Now you can. A new course will teach you the basics of prototyping and programming microcontrollers using the popular Arduino system (http://www.arduino.cc). No prior knowledge of electronics or programming is required to get your LEDs blinking, sensors sensing, and motors spinning.

The class will take place on Saturday, February 9, 2008 at the Nonprofit Technology Resources on 1524 Brandywine Street in Philadelphia from 9:00 to 5:00.

All materials including an Arduino board, prototyping supplies, and assortment of electronic components, will be provided with the enrollment fee of $200.

Enrollment is limited to 14 people, so reserve your spot today.

We need to update the schedule of this...
The class is actually being held on the 23rd!
If you interested you can still sign up online.
We are also about to announce our first "advanced" class which is going to cover Serial communication with a host PC, and interfacing with other devices over I2C and SPI.

In addition to this workshop, The Hacktory is offering a second Arduino course for those who have already taken the first (or are roughly at that level) and are looking to learn more. More details at thehacktory.org, or in this post:
