Jason, thanks for working on this partially at Fubar Labs. We like the
DIY PCB you made. :-)

Due to several of us having Moms Soldering Sunday is canceled, today May 13th.

We will be at Steampunk Worlds Fair, and the Highland Park Street Fair
next weekend. In addition to our regular schedule.

Programmed via MPIDE. W00t!

Starting on Sunday 15th April (Tax Day) we will be starting the Stanford University's "iPad and iPhone Application Development (HD)" course by Paul Hegarty at FUBAR.  The series will run for 9 weeks from 19:00 - 22:30 every Sunday, but you can also follow along remotely using the material at the link below.  

The purpose of running as a study group is so we can help each other learn this complex topic.  At the end of the 9 weeks we will then look at developing a project using the skills we have learnt.

Each of the Stanford videos runs between 60-80 minutes, and there are 19 in total.  The time would be structured as follows:

• 19:00-19:15 Welcome, Setup and Q&A from last week's session
• 19:15-20:30 First Video (timings heron will differ due to the different video timings)
• 20:30-20:45 Bio break & Q&A
• 20:45-22:00 Second Video
• 22:00-22:30 Final Q&A

You can find the course details here: http://itunes.apple.com/itunes-u/ipad-iphone-application-development/id473757255

We will be setting up a remote cameras for those who can't attend in person, but they can watch the videos at their own location.  The first session will be different from the others as I will be giving a presentation of an overview of the technologies we will use, and we will only have pine video on that day.

What you will need:

• A Mac that has:
  •  OS X 10.7.x installed
  • XCode 4.3.2+ installed
• An iOS Device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) that has:
  • iOS 5.x

We will provide a Mac Mini at FUBAR for attendees that don't have access to a Mac, but the rest of the equipment you will need to provide.  

This is a free course; we are simply making the space available so that we can view, review and discuss the material provided by Stanford University.

SoftPWMServo with Fubarino SD.

The Fubarino is a Arduino inspired ChipKit compatible pic32 board with
SD card. The SD card allows for class files, programmers, and
everything to be preloaded on the board. You can then copy all those
materials off and program the Fubarino, and even take a class with
provided materials. This solves many problems for teaching and
learning Arduino. Get up and running quick with this board.

The specs are amazing 80mhz, 32K of RAM, 128K of Flash, 3.3v,
43 digital I/O pins of which 15 are configured as Analog. Built in SD Card,
and real time clock for data logging. If you wire up a network adapter you
can create a logging web server.
