Electronic Lunch on Wednesdays

Electronic Lunch is an open lab for exploring and designing with electronic devices, sponsored by the Digital Media Commons.  It’s held every Wednesday from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM in Design Lab 1 on the first floor of the Duderstadt Center. Bring your own projects to share or trouble-shoot, or join in community projects. A modest collection of micro-controllers, sensors and motors is available for in-lab use or for check-out with special permission.

Electronic Lunch has its a own blog. Posts there also appear here, in the Electronic Lunch category, but if you’re looking for historical projects, or if you’d just like to get the EL feed, head on over to electroniclunch.wordpress.com
