The Premier Cincinnati Hackerspace

**Let's test out the PTDR stuff this Saturday!**nnWe have the first PTDR event Friday May 19th at Building Value (just up the street) from 7:00-11:00pm. nWe should check out all the gear to make sure we don't need to fix or order anything.nWe will need to get the stuff down from the pallet shelving and assemble the mini track to test the electronics/lights/signs.nnMight even run some racers just to make sure everything works. :)n

Using the MillnnWhen: Saturday May 13, 2017 10am to 12pm. nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/using-the-mill-may-certification-class-tickets-34222081166nn*Description:* Hive member Brad Walsh will be doing an introduction to using the mill. Learn what the mill does and how it can be used. A small ($10) donation is requested to cover the cost of materials, which will go home with you (an endmill and a chunk of aluminum to continue to improve your milling skills).nnUsing the LathennWhen: Saturday May 13, 2017 1p to 3pm. nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/using-the-metal-lathe-may-certification-class-tickets-34222145358nn*Description:* Hive member Brad Walsh will be doing an introduction to using the metal lathe. Learn what it does and how it can be used. Maybe you can even mill threads on a bolt! A small ($5) donation is requested to cover the cost of materials (aluminum piece and carbide insert).nnBoth Events require basic machine safety gearnn•Substantial shoes (no sandals or open toe) Hot metal chips can hurt.nn•Long hair pulled back in a ponytail.nn•No hand jewelry (rings, watches).nn•Eye protection (safety glasses can be provided).nn•Prefer no long sleeves, they can be rolled up though.nn•Idea is to not have anything to catch on the spinning tool/part and pull you into the process.n

Brad Walsh will be giving a "hands on" talk to introduce our newest additions to the electronics area; Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope and a Rigol DG1022 function generator. These new purchases bring us into the modern age. (If the logic analyzer arrives we may even talk about that also).nnEventbrite link: nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/hive13-new-electronics-gear-intro-tickets-33177944124nnNo charge for this talk, but you get what you pay for. This will just be basic oscilloscope operation and we will examine some simple circuits.
