I took an introduction to electronics soldering workshop @NYCResistor in Brooklyn this past Sunday. NYC Resistor is a hacker collective with a shared space located in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. They hold regular gatherings to share knowledge, hack projects and drink Club Mate. It’s definitely one of my favorite nyc finds next to the Dream House.
I’ve never properly learned how to solder on a circuit board. I’d learn decorative soldering about 10 years ago on a stained glass project, and more recently took a basic welding tutorial @ the Madagascar Institute but never soldering.
Our project kits where the Conway’s Game of Life Kit – v1.3 from Adafruit.
A simple game of life simulation with cool blinky lights.
I have to goals with this new found skill. Make my own custom film lights, and develop a counter top microgreens grow kit.
