Arduino Soldering
Contents |
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)
- Maybe an Oscilloscope (Who can bring one please?)
- 6 Multimeter (again, you have one bring it please)
- Power supplies (some regulated some not, Voltage varies)
- De-soldering stuff
- 6 Third-hands
- Different thicknesses of solder
- 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 39€ plus the Starter Kit 29€

(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€
- The full Arduino Serial stuff - 39€
Totals to: 84€ (+-)
Everything can be purchased separately but you need to place an Order before the 8th of March.
For the different kit pricing see above, again obviously you can bring and roll your own.
