An Arduino programming group starting from scratch. We'll meet up and figure it out collectively. This is meant to be a convenient weekly get together where we bring our projects, work on them and try to work past roadblocks. It is also meant to inspire. What are you doing with this micro controller? What are you bringing to life with it? Are you animating your house, making interactive kinetic sculpture, making a robot? I've got a place for us to meet in old town Pasadena with nice big tables w …

This group is for those who would like to build a 3d printer, but would prefer working in a team rather than alone. There will be a meetup a few times a week and members will each build their 3d printers together. We can order parts, assemble, modify code, brainstorm and troubleshoot together. The goal is for each member to build their own personal 3d printer, make friends, and of course learn. :)
