Deze OpenToko workshop is uitgesteld naar 28 april.
Kom je nooit verder dan een breadboard in elkaar steken of ben je het solderen van gaatjesbord ook zo zat? Maar vind je de stap om eigen PCB’s te ontwerpen nog erg groot? Komende OpenToko, zondag 7 April zondag 28 april, gaan we met een aantal mensen kennis en ervaringen uitwisselen over precies dit onderwerp. Er zullen in ieder geval mensen bij zijn met ervaring met KiCad en Eagle en het aanleveren van bestanden hiermee aan online printservices zoals EuroCircuits.

Dus, heb je nog wat circuit’s die je het liefst in PCB’s zou willen omzetten, dan is deze OpenToko workshop een uitgelezen kans om een goed begin te maken.

28 april van 11u tot 16u bij FabLab Amersfoort (route)

Aanmelden is nodig en kan via het formulier hieronder. De toegang gaat volgens waarde bepaling achteraf: Je bepaalt zelf hoeveel je geeft op basis van hoeveel de opgedane kennis, de locatie, de nieuwe contacten en de lunch jou waard zijn.

English: OpenToko PCB production and design
Are you never getting beyond putting together something on breadboards or sick of soldering protoboards? Do you hesitate to start designing your own PCB’s? On the coming OpenToko, sunday 7 april, we’ll share knowledge about and experiences around this subject. There will be people experienced in KiCad and Eagle and in submitting designs to online PCB services like EuroCircuits.

So, do you have some circuits you’d really like to put into a pcb, this OpenToko is a excellent opportunity to make a headstart.

28 april from 11:00 to 16:00 at FabLab Amersfoort (route)

Registration is needed and can be done using the form below. We work with the principle of Pay-What-You-Want: You determine how much you give based on how much the acquired knowledge, location, new contacts and lunch was worth to you.

On April 4th, 2010 March 21st, 2010 there will be an OpenToko workshop about Communication Protocols.

In the field of telecommunications, a communications protocol is the set of standard rules for data representation, signaling, authentication and error detection required to send information over a communications channel. … Communication protocol is basically following certain rules so that the system works properly. [wikipedia]

Lots of stuff out there communicates in certain electronic languages: internet, radio, television, telephones, computer screens, computer networks, USB devices, remote controls etc. This OpenToko will cover the similarities and differences between quite some protocols.

Edwin Dertien will kick-off this Toko giving a general introduction and supplying a context dividing the day in the 7 OSI-layers.

In the morning protocols within the low-level ‘media layers’ (physical layer etc.) will be covered. Followed by higher-level protocols from the ‘host layers’ in the afternoon. This sounds quite theoretical but of course lots of nice hands-on stuff will be supporting each layer (like MIDI devices, DMX controllers, VT100 keyboard from the 70′s, DIY AM Radio, Arduino generating video signal, OpenSoundControl iPhone-MaxMSP link and more).
