instructor - Josh Kopel
member cost - $ 295
non member cost - $ 345

The Arduino is a small programmable device capable of big things. With it
you can examine the world through various sensors and use the data to
control motors, lights and just about any other electronic device. Come
learn how to build kinetic sculpture, audio sequencers, home automation
systems or whatever you can imagine. This class will focus on controlling
motors using the Arduino, and we will be investigating how to recycle/re-use
commonly discarded ink jet printers for their component parts. Bring your
best ideas and wildest concepts and lets get them moving. Course fee is
255.00 plus 40.00 lab fee: total 295. The lab fee will over a motor control
kit, some additional electronics, and a supply of printers to hack. You will
need to have a laptop computer (win XP or Vista, OSX, or Linux*), and you
should purchase your own Arduino Diecimila.

Josh Kopel
Josh Kopel has been hacking electronics since he first discovered BYTE
magazine in the early 1980's In between then and now he acquired degrees in
sculpture and metalsmithing, and built a career developing web sites and
flash applications. He is a recent arrival in Seattle having spent 20 years
living in Philadelphia where he helped found a hacker space (
http://thehacktory.org), and co-organized the monthly MakePhillymeetings. An
expert and dedicated accumulator, he has turned to building Arduino projects
as a way to try and make good use of the vast quantities of junk he has
collected.
