Have you heard the latest blurb and technobabble like ‘Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Opensource and breakout shield” around the cooler at work?
R U Thinking, “that sounds cool if only I knew what it meant”?
or “hmmm I wish I could control my super new garden watering-hose-robot thing, but just don’t know how”…?
- Learn the basics – how to get an Arduino up and running and experiment with different kinds of inputs and outputs. Get a simple understanding of how the code works and how to copy-paste, debug, tweak and work with tutorials.

COST:
It is $40 to attend the workshop where you will have an Arduino to
play with and everything you need to experiment with the examples and
components we’ll have on show for you.
You can also get your own “Know Arduino” starter kit for $80. This kit
gets you everything you need to get started:
- Arduino Uno R3, the real deal, no cheap knock-offs
- 3inch breadboard and jumper wires
- Inputs – potentiometer, push buttons, thermistor and photo-resistors
- Outputs – red, green, yellow and RGB LEDs
- A useful combination of resistors, capacitors, as well as an
N-channel MOSFET and diode for controlling bigger stuff…
If you would like to get the kit in addition to attending the
workshop, please email tiago@diatom.cc to pre-order one, and you can
pick it up from the Wellington Makerspace as soon as it is available
(max two weeks lead time). We’ll have a limited number of kits
available to take home on Saturday.
Thanks for your pledges to aid our laptop cause – they are awesome and are getting used frequently to help people learn new skills
As promised here’s the Laser Workshop for you special guys 
Place: The Wellington Makerspace
What to bring: Yourself, enthusiasm, imagination and if you want the software to take home to run your jobs in simulator before submitting to TWMS for cutting, bring a Windows based or MAC Windows-emulator laptop and we’ll install it as part of the deal
Please Join and checkout our meetup to RSVP for the workshop here:

Lasers are fun! And they help you make cool stuff! Think jewelry, signs, buttons, frames, boxes, toys. Put family photographs on stone or glass….but don’t worry if you’ve never seen a laser cutter in your life. You’re in good hands – join the group and learn how to design and cut your very own! You’ll get to take away your creation and the knowledge of how to set up a design and use the laser cutter on your own projects.
Bring a laptop and we’ll give you a copy of our laser software to practise your lasering
Cost $40/person including tea/coffee and lasertime – but please note this is a learning workshop..not a sole “bring your idea to lasercut”…
