Kliment

In this workshop, you will learn how to assemble the tiny parts that modern electronic devices are made of by building an electronic kitten. There's no prior experience or equipment required, and you don't need to know anything about electronics. We are going to build an electronic cat-shaped circuit board using tiny SMD parts. It will purr when you touch it right and hiss when you touch it wrong. It's going to work. This workshop is meant for people afraid of surface mount assembly/rework. It's my goal to take away your fear.

At this workshop, we will learn to design circuit boards by redesigning the EMF badge bottom PCB. No prior experience with electronics or circuit board design is required. We will start with a simple exercise in fitting a design on a small pcb, and then move on to routing the main microcontroller chip of this year's EMF badge. Make sure you have a laptop with KiCad installed on it *before* you show up.

Kliment will show you how to go from graphical art (drawing, sketch, photo) to a PCB layout that looks somewhat like it. This workshop is meant for people who are on one side of the art/electronics divide and would like a bridge to the other side. You will start with a drawing and a schematic, and end up with a set of files that can be sent to a PCB factory for manufacture. The schematic will be a simple Shitty Add-On (SAO) compatible with various event badges you may have. No prior knowledge is needed.
