Tonight, Tuesday, Jan 3rd, at 7pm Javier Rosa from Tekla Labs will be presenting at FUBAR.  Anyone is welcome to attend.  Click here for parking and directions. 
 
From Javier Rosa:
Tekla Labs will be announcing a 3D Printer Design Competition at FUBAR
labs. Some of the designs already produced by us and affiliates will
be presented. I will demonstrate the Cell-Scope, a cell-phone based
microscope constructed of 3D printed parts as well as off-the-shelf
components, and a centrifuge built from an egg-beater! More plans and
information are available at: http://teklalabs.org/ and more
information about the Cell-Scope is available here:
http://cellscope.berkeley.edu/. Note that the competition hasn't been
announced on our website yet so FUBAR will likely be the first outside
group to hear about it. 

Tekla Labs is a University of California student run organization
whose goal is to address the needs of researchers in developing
countries in need of quality lab equipment. Tekla Labs is developing
the plans necessary to build and test this equipment out of commonly
available local materials or cheaply imported materials. Though in its
early stage, Tekla Labs has already generated excitement from
laboratories in such diverse places as Egypt and Panama.

Basic Electronics 

Saturday 11/5/11 1PM - 4PM

This class is for anyone who wants to take the first step into hobby
electronics, or took a class in Arduino and would like to refresh
their basic electronics knowledge.  We will teach you how to prototype
simple circuits and help you to understand how they work.  There is an
extensive electronic kit for the class. The kit is entirely compatible
with our beginning Arduino class, just lacks the Arduino.

Please sign up by Wednesday midnight because we are ordering
electronics for the class, or contact us by then about your intent to
take the class.

Soldering Sunday goodness. Radioshack soldering kits were made. The Eggbot worked on the first try. The Makerbot made a Megaman cookie cutter, and a set of mini brass nuckles. Surface mount soldering, and lathing occurred. Thanks to Mark, Lindsey, David, Graham, Michael, Esther, Brian, and George.

Intro to the Arduino using Chipkit 

Saturday 12/10/11 1PM - 4PM

This course will provide an introduction to microcontrollers and the Arduino environment.  Students will be using a chipKIT microcontroller, a very powerful Arduino-compatible microntroller that provides many advanced features not available on other Arduino-compatible boards. More information coming soon...


All of our classes are at our main location in Highland Park, NJ.  If you have questions, feel free to contact us at info@fubarlabs.org

Maker_faire_ny_2011

Hello!  FUBAR Labs will have a booth this weekend at Maker Faire in NYC September 17th and 18th!

Information on Maker Faire is available here: http://makerfaire.com/

There is lots to see, especially related to electronics, soldering, Arduino, 3D Printing, CNC, crafts, hacker spaces, and other Maker-related interests!

Maker Faire is family-friendly and at the New York Hall of Science, which is interesting enough to visit in and of itself.

Come join us!  Feel free to write back if you have any questions.  Certainly stop by and say "Hi!" at our table in the Hacker Space area, or at the Digilent booth where members Rick and Mark will be discussing Chip-Kit and multi-platform Arduino!
