HDDG hardware meetup happens Jan 11th in San Francisco @motormo @Supplyframe
Happy 2018! Enjoy delicious food and beverages and listen to techy and entertaining talks by these two awesome folks at HDDG‘s first meetup of 2018:
Mo McBirney– The Iron Giants: Automation in Manufacturing Kenneth Finnegan– Amateur Radio and Their Internet of Things
Hear more about Mo’s previous life as a mechanical engineer at Tesla and Makerbot, and current life at Fictiv on The Prepared podcast interview. Kenneth works on solar projects, networking stuff, electronics design, and most recently, the next generation of wafer plasma etch equipment at Lam Research. His blog, The Life of Kenneth, has lots of good stories.
RSVP here, and we’ll see you next Thursday, Jan 11th, 6:30p!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
