上海静安愚园东路28号3号楼一楼 新车间 Mitch-Altman-cropped Open to All 开放活动,欢迎参加! Time: Nov 23, 16:00 ~ Location: XinCheJian Hackerspace Speaker List: Mitch Altman Topic: The Importance of Failure Mitch Altman is a San Francisco-based hacker and inventor, best known for inventing TV-B-Gone, as a featured speaker at hacker conferences, as an international expert on the hackerspace movement, and for teaching introductory electronics workshops. He is also Chief Scientist and CEO of Cornfield Electronics. Jeffrey Putney Topic: Makerspace Urbana – My favorite little Makerspace Jeffrey Putney is an organizing member of Makerspace Urbana. After working for over 10 years as an electrical engineer in multiple start up companies his main focus now is on helping build a supportive and inclusive space for makers and community members at his local Makerspace. He also does outreach and sets up maker workshops with various community partners such as libraries and local public schools. Some of the things he loves making include designing small board electronics, sewing, glass work, welding, and photography. Rachel McConnell Topic: Non electronics projects Rachel owns a small fabrication business called Dr Shiny, in Oakland, CA. She makes movie props, product prototypes, art objects, and other unique items for her clients. She was one of the founders of Noisebridge hackerspace along with Mitch Altman and others, and is currently the president of Ace Monster Toys, a hackerspace in Oakland. Previously she was the lead developer for Instructables.com. Her projects can be found at http://DrShiny.com and http://www.instructables.com/member/rachel. She has no university degrees, but learned programming, welding, dressmaking, moldmaking and casting, woodworking, upholstery, electronics, and more all by herself. Zimmer Barnes Topic: In 2012, Zimmer Barnes completed a Kickstarter for a wearable solar generator, and his latest creation is a segmented bullet resistant vest with embedded electronics. He is a member of ATX Hackerspace in Austin, Texas. Elizabeth Cole Topic: Open Source Biohacking Just as personal computers opened a new world of creativity by liberating computing from monolithic corporations, there is a movement of citizen scientists creating open source devices to make the well understood techniques of DNA analysis available to everyone, not just to molecular biologists. Bio hacking can be used for useful things such as engineering algae for biofuels, bacteria that glows when its in the presence of arsenic, determining if vegetables are contaminated with harmful bacteria such as E. Coli or Listeria, or seeing which neighbors’ dog has been pooping on your lawn. Elizabeth Jane Cole is co founder of the Evil Twin Booking Agency [eviltwinbooking.org], former writer for WIRED magazine and other publications, and producer for Love & Radio. In her spare time she makes mobile biology labs. Johannes Schneemann – AKA ”herr_flupke” in hackers circle Topic 1: cjdns – IPv6 based encrypted meshnetworking for the Internet of Things, or Topic 2: my hut in the dark net – strategies for running decentralized services herr_flukpe explains machines to humans and humans to machines. His work involves security and privacy, community and ethics. Besides that he contributes to free/libre open source software and helps artists building custom hardware. Some of his stuff is documented at http://hf.dropcut.net.]]>

Arduino with Mitch Altman 跟创客大神Mitch Altman学Arduino – Nov. 16

November 7th, 2014 § 2 comments § permalink

上海静安愚园东路28号3号楼一楼 新车间 800px-Arduinos_For_Total_Newbies_workshop 报名参加 Register rmb200 for non xinchejian members and rmb150 for xinchejian members. Taught by Mitch Altman. This workshop is easy enough for total newbies to learn all you need to know to get going on an Arduino. Participants will use an Arduino clone, and set it up on solderless breadboards to make their own TV-B-Gone remote control to turn off TVs in public places — a fun way to learn Arduino (and electronics) basics. Bring your laptop, if you can. Bring your Arduino kits or buy one onsite for rmb210. Itinerary Intro to Arduino Very short lesson to learn everything you need to know about electronics! We will be using an Arduino clone and set up the free and open-source software on our laptops (if you bring one) — Windows, MacOS, or Linux are all fine! And then it’s time to make something and learn how easy it is to use Arduino! I’ll (very easily!) show you how to read schematic diagrams, and you’ll put together your own TV-B-Gone remote control using your Arduino clone. We will use a solderless breadboard. These are really useful, and provide a fast, and very easy way to put circuits together without needing to solder. Target practice is available after the workshop. ]]>

Tesla Coil Speaker 音乐电弧-有趣的特斯拉线圈 – Nov. 9

October 28th, 2014 § 0 comments § permalink

上海静安愚园东路28号3号楼一楼 新车间 30771764662089731 报名参加 Register Time: 13:00 – 15:00 Sunday, Nov. 9th. Fee: 300rmb; 250rmb for xinchejian members. Price includes all materials needed. Are you tired of those old black speakers that only just make sounds? Maybe sound reactive lights are just not enough to impress you? How about a Plasma Speaker? A plasma speaker is a device that generates an high voltage electrical arc that makes purple light and music! Without any speakers or any moving parts! Sounds too good to be true? Well, you’re wrong, the high voltage arc really does ‘sing’ by vibrating in the air. (Of course, you will need to give the device musical audio for it to work.) *** Do NOT even attempt to build one if you have heart problems or weak heart or wearing a pacemaker, because one little shock from this thing can put you out. ]]>
