Hi folks,
Workshop 2 will be in Clark A201 starting at 7pm tonight (Wednesday November, 28). Make sure you bring a fully charged laptop and your kit.
We will have breadboards for sale and will be handing out the servos that are a part of your kit. If you haven't picked up your kit yet, we will have that available for you.
The mini-project for this workshop is the Pirate Security System. We will go over analog to digital voltage converters, voltage division, and serial connections as well as the serial monitor.
We will also talk about the first Mini Design Competition (MiniDC) that takes place over Winter Break.

Kits and Registration Deadlines
The deadline to register AND order a kit is Friday, November 9th at 10pm Mountain Time.
You will need a kit for the competition. If you have not paid for a kit before the deadline, you will not get one and will have to buy all of the parts yourself (see the link in the update below). As we are selling the kits at less than it costs to purchase them, it will be more expensive to buy everything yourself. The kits through us are $35 and can be ordered via Etsy below.
