What[edit | edit source]
This workshop is designed for people who do not know much about electronics but would like to learn how to solder. In this workshop, you will learn how to solder capacitors, resistors, and ICs onto a printed circuit board. You will learn how to solder and de-solder through hole components and (hopefully) have a functional multimeter when the event is done.
When[edit | edit source]
- October 21 from 7:30pm to 9:00pm (to be continued on the following two Wednesdays November 4, November 11)
Where[edit | edit source]
- Baltimore Node! 120 W North Ave, Baltimore, MD
Who[edit | edit source]
- Organizing - Sepideh Miller
How[edit | edit source]
- use eventbrite to limit # of participants to 8
- $65 for non-node members registered through eventbrite
- $40 for node members paid by check or paypal directly to the Node (Please let me know if you do this.)
Preparation[edit | edit source]

- first aid kit
- goggles and/or eye glasses (or see first aid kit above)
Eventbrite text:
- This workshop will give you an opportunity to build a circuit by soldering components such as resistors, capacitors and ICs onto a printed circuit board. You will learn how to solder and de-solder through-hole components, and (hopefully) have a functional multimeter when the whole thing is done.
- You will be building this kit:
- Deluxe Full Function Digital Multimeter Kit
- Model: M-2666K
- Features:
- Extra large 1", 3-1/2 digit display
- Transistor tester
- Overload protection
- Capacitance to 200µF
- Diode test
- Audio continuity
- AC/DC current to 20A
- Low Battery indication
- Rubber holster
- Tilt stand
- Safety input sockets and test leads
- Specifications:
- AC + DC Volts: 200mV, 2V, 20V, 200V, 1,000V
- Accuracy: 1/2% DC, 1% AC; Resolution 100µV
- AC + DC Volts: 200mV, 2V, 20V, 200V, 1,000V
- AC + DC Current: 200µA, 2mA, 20mA, 200mA, 20A
- Accuracy: 1-1/2% DC, 2% AC, 20A 2.5%; Resolution 0.1µA
- Resistance: 200Ω, 2kΩ, 20kΩ, 200kΩ, 2MΩ, 20µΩ
- Accuracy: 2-1/2%, 5% 200µF; Resolution 1pF
- Size/Weight: 7-1/2" (H) x 3-1/2" (W) x 1-13/32" (D)
- Accessories: Test leads, Manual, 9V battery included
Attendance to the workshop is $65 for people who are not members of the Baltimore Node.
