This class will change from starting at 7 to starting at 6.  If this does not work for you, please contact the E-Mail address at the bottom.  We are fairly flexible with the time.  Also, if enough people chip in, we can order some food.

Agenda

1. DIY Arduino Build
2. Fading LEDs with transistors
3. 7 segment displays
4. Multiplexers as port expanders

After the DIY Arduino, we will cover as much of items 2-4 as possible.
