Back by popular demand! Please make note of the fact that the time is back to the normal 7 PM instead of 6 PM.

Agenda:

1. Transistors for LEDs and motors (a repeat, but really important!)
2. Shift registers to control LEDs (and possibly 7 segment displays)
3. Using tactile switches (including de-bouncing)
4. Talking to other Arduinos (I do not expect to get to number 4, but it’s there if we do!)

Required Items:

1. Breadboard (please let me know if you need one as I have several to borrow)
2. Arduino (any kind will work, including the DIY builds)
3. Laptop (please let me know if you need one as the space has about 3)
4. Jumper wires
5. 9 volt battery (for the transistor portion)

Provided Items:

1. LEDs (red/green and single color)
2. 7 segment display (mix of common cathode and common anode)
3. Shift register (74HC595)
4. Tactile switch
5. 2N2222A transistor

If you would like a shift register of your own, please let me know. I ordered 10 for the last class and will happily part with them for a $1 donation to the space. For those of you who would like to order one prior to the class, the part number is 74HC595. Available from Jameco, Mouser, DigiKey, Adafruit, and SparkFun. I am fairly certain that we have several at the space as well.

Since the space runs off of donations, we would like to mention that the recommended donation for this class is $10. It is by no means a requirement! Attendance to the space and this class is, as usual, 100% free to all! And a huge thank you to those of you who donated last time!
