From The Bay Area Chronic Pain & Illness Peer Support Group

Step into engineer mode and build your own automatic security gate using an Arduino, a motion sensor, and a servo motor! In this hands-on class, you’ll create a mini “fortress gate” that springs open whenever someone approaches. Along the way, you’ll learn: * How motion sensors detect movement * How servo motors create controlled motion * Basic Arduino programming and wiring * How real-world smart security systems work By the end of the class, you’ll have a working motion-activated gate and the skills to customize it with lights, alarms, or secret fortress upgrades. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and prepare to defend the kingdom. 🏰🤖 **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**

Introduction to 3D Printing ($20)

Sun, May 24, 7:00 PM

From The Bay Area Chronic Pain & Illness Peer Support Group

**$5 is charged to hold a spot for this class. You can pay the remaining $15 in person with PayPal, credit cards, or cash.** *All instructors at Noisebridge are volunteers. 100% of your donation is tax-deductible and supports Noisebridge directly.* This class is meant to get you from 0 to your first 3D print. In this class the full workflow from design to printed object will be demonstrated. Topics covered: * Where and how to design or download objects (TinkerCAD/Printables/MakerWorld) * Filament types, when to use which, and how to handle them * How to convert your design into a file that's able to be printed * How to print with supports, make objects stronger, and adjust quality * How to load and unload filament and general print prep * How to send your design to the printer and watch it go! If you are interested you can use one of our 3D printers after the class to apply what you have learned. It's recommended to bring a laptop if you plan to do your own prints. There are no guarantees that a printer will be available. They are first-come-first-serve and are used for many different Noisebridge projects.

Session 3: Breadboarding the Op-Amp

Sat, Jun 6, 8:00 PM

From Sketchboard Co. | Arts Nonprofit

## Session 3: Breadboarding the Op-Amp If the transistor is the building block of analog electronics, the **op-amp** is the Swiss Army knife. Op-amps show up everywhere in guitar pedals — as clean boosts, buffers, tone stacks, and the gain stages at the heart of overdrive circuits. The Tube Screamer, the RAT, the LM308-based fuzz variants — all built around op-amps. In this session we'll get hands-on with the op-amp on a breadboard and learn how to put it to work. We'll cover: * **What an op-amp is** — and how it differs from a transistor amplifier * **Biasing** — setting up the op-amp to work with a single-supply voltage, like a 9V battery * **Setting the gain** — using feedback resistors to dial in exactly how much amplification you want * **Building a boost or buffer circuit** — and hearing the difference it makes No prior experience with op-amps needed. If you've been following the series, you already have all the foundation you need — but newcomers are welcome too. Already working on a pedal project? Bring it! Whether you have questions, need a second pair of eyes, or just want to solder alongside others, you're welcome to work on your own build.

You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now. Training covers * Dangers of the laser cutter * How to be safe * How to put out a fire Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps. This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. There is a 5$ fee to register, and we suggest a 20-30$ donation for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net.
