Harness the power of an Epilog 60 Watt Laser! In this class you’ll learn everything you need.

Harness the power of an Epilog 60 Watt Laser! In this class you’ll learn everything you need to know to make the ideas in your head become a reality with a laser.

In this three hour class, you will learn:

  • How to set up a file for cutting on the laser cutter in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
  • Laser cutter safety including materials testing.
  • Laser cutter operation including configuration, cuts and raster etching in common materials like wood, acrylic, cardboard and others.

At the end of class, you will go home with:

  • One laser cut project, either the class default or a simple one of your own design (see below for details)
  • Resistor Laser Certification, enabling you to use our laser on Craft Nights.

Please bring the following to class:

A laptop with either Inkscape (free: download here: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.2.1/) or Adobe Illustrator installed.

A USB jump drive

The following items are optional if you’d like to try cutting a simple custom design. If your file ends up being too complicated, we may have you do the class default project first, just to learn the laser in the time allotted – but we’ll definitely help you with your more complex cut at a free Craft Night in future!

  • An SVG vector file of a simple shape you’d like to cut for your first cut.
  • A piece of 1/8 inch or thinner wood, acrylic or cardboard you’d like to cut. If you can’t bring your own material, small pieces will be made available, or larger pieces for purchase on site.

Please be on time for the start of class! If you’re late you will miss your slot.

This class will be taught by NYC Resistor member Woody. As with all NYC Resistor events, this class is 18+ and governed by our Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct, as well as accessibility information, can be found at www.nycresistor.com/participate/.

City as palimpsest. The meaning of signs grows more obscure and fragmented with time, though the present may appear no less alien. This has been happening for a long time now. There is no blank slate, you can only deface, repurpose, resurface, and layer.

Soldering is one of the most important skills you’ll need for working with electronics. Come join us for an introductory through-hole solder

Soldering is one of the most important skills you’ll need for working with electronics. Come join us for an introductory through-hole soldering workshop. Soldering enables you to create sturdy connections between electrical components. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use a soldering iron safely and effectively, and get plenty of practice with both soldering and de-soldering techniques. We’ll be soldering up some Game of Life kits – LED tiles that generate nifty animations. No previous experience is required, making this introductory workshop a great choice for anyone who’s curious about getting started with hardware tinkering! All materials will be provided.

OK, awesome, I want to join!

Please be ready to start at 1pm! We find that you will need this time to get through the whole class. Our classes tend to sell out about a week in advance so if you’re interested, you may want to sign up early.

This class will be taught by Resistor member Jack Poon.

Jan 26 2025 : diyaudio.nyc January Meetup

 classes  Comments Off on Jan 26 2025 : diyaudio.nyc January Meetup
Jan 092025
 
Resistor hosts a meetup for the diyaudio.nyc group, and invites anyone to come learn about making your own home audio gear.

diyaudio.nyc has regular meetups to share recent DIY projects (speakers, amps, preamps, tubes and solid state – anything home-audio related), as well as talks and demos on related topics and skills (how to solder, how digital crossovers work, fabrication techniques, digital room correction, etc). Building your own gear doesn’t have to be a solitary hobby anymore… has regular meetups to share recent DIY audio projects (speakers, amps, DACs, etc – anything home-audio related), as well as talks and demos on related topics and skills (how to solder, how digital crossovers work, fabrication techniques, digital room correction, etc).

This month we’ll show off some more recent speaker and amp projects, and talk about how to use Room Correction software such as REW.

(If history is any guide, at the end of the meetup some of us will want to keep talking about projects and we’ll move to a bar nearby – join us!)

Have a project you’d like to share? We want to hear about it. Have a project to share? Email diyaudio@gowanusaudio.com with the details.

Who should come?

Open to anyone interested in DIY home audio who wants to learn and make some new friends – all experience levels welcome. If you’ve ever wanted to build any audio gear, we’re here for you. (We generally don’t focus on production, live sound, musical instruments, or making music, although there certainly is some overlap.)

Note from the organizer, Pete:

I started diyaudio.nyc a couple years ago because I wanted to meet some like-minded folks near me – I knew they were out there. And they are! Thank you for being a part! Let’s grow this group! These days, for me, it’s all audio all the time – I work as a Buyer for The Music Room buying high end audio equipment, and also offer complete classes to build your own equipment as Gowanus Audio.

This is a masks optional event.

NYC Resistor is getting together with UrbanGlass to do some amazing classes later this year. See UrbanGlass’s site for all the details and to get your tickets quick before they sell out:

NYCRLOGOneonNeon Robots with Joe Upham, Ranjit Bhatnagar and Raphael Abrams – learn to make neon signs and control them with Arduino! This class will run 8 Saturday afternoons 3-6pm, September 26 – November 14.

At UrbanGlass, the history and methods of neon tube design and construction will be taught, demonstrated and practiced. At NYC Resistor, Basic Arduino Microcontroller theory will be covered and students will learn to fabricate and program these powerful art tools.

Details and tickets: https://www.urbanglass.org/classes/detail/neon-robots

Hot Casting with Olivia Barr and Joshua Raiffe – use the laser cutter to design objects to be cast in glass! 10am-7pm, Saturday December 12th.

In this one day workshop, students will get to design a simple object within a 7″ x 7″ square, laser cut that object in wood and then cast it in glass.

Details and tickets: https://www.urbanglass.org/classes/detail/nyc-resistor-hot-casting-cross-pollinator

What is a soft robot anyway? Over the last few weeks I’ve been giving demos at Resistor to show students what they are, what they’re good for, and how you can make your own.

Resistor was host to two meetup groups: the ACM NYC Group and the Soft Robotics Technology Group. During the demonstrations I gave a brief overview of the state of the art in soft robotics and then went into how I designed and built my most popular soft robot to date: the Glaucus.

Students helped out by casting waxes, degassing silicone, and pouring up molds themselves. Maybe soon I’ll come up with a way to get an even more hands-on demo where people can each make a bot themselves to take home.

Below you can find video from the ACM lecture:

Hopper Interactive Disassembly
Want to get started with reverse engineering on i386, x86-64 or ARM systems? The Hopper disassembler makes it easy! Or at least easier to understand what is going on in binaries, firmware dumps and other random executables that you might encounter.

This four hour class is taught by Trammell Hudson, the original author of the Magic Lantern firmware for Canon DSLR cameras, and will cover initial exploration of files, annotating functions, discovering common patterns and using the control-flow graph / pseudo-code generator to understand what the assembly is doing.

Experience with programming, but not necessarily assembly language, is necessary, as is a Mac or Linux laptop. Buy your tickets here!
