We got a great little email on Sunday asking if our Vendy was available for public dispensing. There happened to be a pile of us here hacking on Sunday afternoon, so Nicole dropped by, fed $15 into Machine Uno and get herself a teensy board. On Thursday, Shanshan came round to Craft Night and we got to see what they made:
They didn’t get any action shots of the teensy 🙁 . Nice Arduino though.
Come build and program an Arduino with expert guidance. You’ll build your own Freeduino kit and program it. Even if you’ve never soldered anything in your life, you’ll come away with a working micro controller that you built.

Well, work is continuing on my electromechanical computer project. I now have a sort-of-working prototype of my clunky punch-card reader. Hopefully something will be working in time for the interactive show this year =) Enjoy!
Come learn the basics of iPhone and iPad development! This 3-hour class will introduce you to the high-level concepts of the iOS SDK, the Objective-C language, the Xcode IDE including Interface Builder and the iOS build system, MVC using UIKit, Apple’s most common and useful frameworks, networking using web services, and much more! This class is offered April 28 and is taught by Resistor members Chris Beauvois and Jon Santiago.

Last call on projects for The Interactive Show. We have a couple of spots left, so if you want to show off your stuff contact us. This year’s event is shaping up to be the best yet. The cheap tickets are nearly sold out, so grab yours now!
OSHWA will be a non-profit organization (status pending) working to spread the love of open source hardware. We’re still deep in the process of working out all the details, but please bookmark oshwa.org, and check back there for upcoming news.
OSHWA’s first project is a survey, “to better understand the Open Source Hardware community.” Catarina Mota has lead this project and created a survey along with David Mellis and John De Cristofaro. The aggregate and anonymous results will be made publicly available in May. If you’re involved with the OSHW community, we’d invite you to take the survey.
For today’s #hackfriday at NYC Resistor a bunch of us were inspired by Junior and ScribbleJ‘s 3D printing projects and experimented with UV curing resin using a DLP projector.

Last November, johngineer proposed #hackfriday, a day for hackerspaces to work on projects. Tomorrow is a holiday from work for many of us, so a bunch of will be hacking away at NYC Resistor. What projects will you work on this long weekend?
First person to correctly guess what this is in the comments gets a free ticket to our upcoming Interactive show on May 19th!
Don’t forget, we’re taking submissions for interactive art pieces in the show now! The theme is “physical meets digital” – so we’ll be extra happy to hear about interactive art that doesn’t make use of screens or projectors, but all submissions are welcome!
Email submissions to [email protected]
Save the date: May 19th, 2012. Tickets are officially on sale and project submissions are starting to roll-in. Come see a 16-foot LED dome, collaborative art using your smartphone, and I think I heard something about a mechanical water-based Scorched Earth game.
Have something small or large you want to show off at the show? Let us know!
