What is it about?
On the 15th of March we are going to solder an Serial Arduino Board and a few Velleman Kits to afterwards Hack them and make them behave in a different way than originally conceived. (Limited to 10 People! Deadline: 8th of March)
We will provide
There will be approximately 6 full soldering stations with all the necessary gear (Multimeter, Wirecutter tools, etc...)
These sets will be available FOR SALE. So in case you like what you did and want to become a REAL Pirate make a future proof investment.
Most of the Kits will be in 3 exemplars, if you are really keen on one, reserve it please.
- A Room (kindly provided by emQue)
- 6 30W Soldering Irons with an adequate Tip and stand (but please bring your own should you have one)
- 6 Third-hands
- 6 Multimeter (again, you have one bring it please)
- Power supplies (some regulated some not, Voltage varies)
- 500g (yeah) of 1mm and 0.7mm Solder
- De-soldering stuff
- Maybe an Oscilloscope (Who can bring one please?)
- Arduino Docu http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596155513/ (10€)
- Arduino Parts http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/PartsSerialV2 (22€)
- Arduino PCB http://tinyurl.com/bo3cy9 (7€)
- Arduino Ethernet Shields http://tinyurl.com/c2wqxk (35€) AND http://tinyurl.com/ahcgu7 (15€)
- Arduino Wave Shield for audio http://tinyurl.com/c3uq2j (22€)
- USBtoSerial http://tinyurl.com/coy8a5 (15€)
- A starter Kit to be ready to SolderRock in minutes:
- http://tinyurl.com/dcb3ba (arduino Stuff 29€ plus the Starter Kit 29€)
- http://www.velleman.be/be/en/product/view/?id=338491 (9€)
- http://www.velleman.be/be/en/product/view/?id=338563 (11€)
- http://www.velleman.be/be/en/product/view/?id=339222 (9€)
- http://www.velleman.be/be/en/product/view/?id=346576 (16€)
- http://tinyurl.com/67u3ly (18€)
- http://tinyurl.com/qb483 (40€)
(and some more so join the Workshop to check it out)
The Costs
No real costs are involved (obviously parts aren't for free), the only thing that would be fair is to be a member (or at least consider becoming one) of the HackerSpace as this Workshop would theoretically be in that Space that is rented/donated/whatever in the Future.
If you have an Arduino already bring it along, if you have an disassembled/maybe_damaged Arduino come along too and we'll fix it.
If you have NOTHING come along with at least 29€ for the Arduino stuff the rest we can lend you.
If you want to get seriously into prototyping and Soldering consider our essentials.
- A soldering Iron (30W) with all you need to get Started (solder stuff/de-solder pump/wires etc...) - 25€
- Tools (Diagonal cutters, cutter, round nose plier, third hand) - 16€
- Multimeter http://www.sly.de/artikeldet.php?artnr=DVM850BL - 17€
- The Starter Pack with a bread board - 29€ http://tinyurl.com/cdubh9
- The full Arduino Serial stuff - 29€ PCB + Parts
And as an HackerSpace exclusive we offer you the following deal -
Iron + Tools + Multimeter + Starter Pack + The Full Arduino Stuff Totals to: 116€ Deal: 109€
IMPORTANT! If you combine this with a fine HackerSpace membership of only 42€ (21€ Students and People that seek work) another 10€ will be slashed bringing this to a ludicrous price of 99€
Everything can be purchased separately and will be available on the Day itself BUT please Order beforehand.
For the different Kit pricing see above but obviously you can bring and roll your own. (Highly encouraged!)
For the more adventurous
If you want to break all the rules and start going crazy why not try a LED-Cube? Or a LED-Square?
- 3x3x3 http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2007/09/make_a_pocket_led_cube_we.html
- 4x4x4 http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Cube-4x4x4/
- 8x8x8 http://hypnocube.com/category/8square/
Either buy your kit or even better roll your own.

OI! The pre-assembled Kit is 22€ and you charge me 29€! Scallywag!
A: Well me dear Matey. Pre-assembled means NO SPARE PARTS! And most of all NO FUN! 29 €-Bucks gives you all the fun plus the fun to fry-up some parts if you are new to this Sweet trade.
Arrrr, me get it! But Landlubber Avast! On tha Internet me Mateys and I found the Swag for only a few Doubloons! Scallywag!
A: Hmmm, persistent are ya! In Pirate Land things are obviously different, but Ordering this for at least 10 Mateys and making sure all will go right takes time. And we wanted to Support the Local economy (and NOT international waters) we bought most of the stuff from a fellow Partner call SAM S.A http://www.sam.lu Oh yeah AND we have a PirateSpace to fund so yall can Safely Sail the International nets!
Aye! So sheer Booty in 'he end!
