Message-ID: <34D7BFA4-CBE1-4FC5-AEC6-03EC42A8A32A@gmail.com> On Sunday the 25th I am going to do an animtronicx workshop covering driving motors, servos and relays with the arduino/wiring platform. I will be covering the a couple of popular chips: The l293D for driving motors , and the ULN2803 darlington array for driving relays, stepper motors and other devices. The workshop will cost $35 and will include these chips, least one motor, a relay, a standard sized servo and a board for the motor driver. The idea is to get as much hands on and working as possible so please bring your arduino,freeduino,teensy,or dorkboard, a soldering iron, some wire and your laptop and we will get our hands dirty. I am limited to 25 on this one so please RSVP as soon as possible. http://tempusdictum.com/tdproducts.html Don aka feurig
