The oscilloscope is one of the most powerful (and fun) tools for troubleshooting and observing circuit behaviors. If you've wanted to look beyond DC voltages on a multimeter, which only shows a small portion of what's going on, this is your opportunity! In this class, each attendee will have a modern oscilloscope similar or identical…

This class covers the same material as the 1pm class with the same title. The oscilloscope is one of the most powerful (and fun) tools for troubleshooting and observing circuit behaviors. If you've wanted to look beyond DC voltages on a multimeter, which only shows a small portion of what's going on, this is your…

Have you wanted to learn to solder so you can do the occasional repair or kit build? Join us for a guided build of one of our custom Knox Makers solder kits and then take it home to earn geek street cred among your soon-to-be-jealous friends. In this class you will learn basic solder iron…

Basic surface mount technology (SMT) soldering skills significantly broaden one's ability to do repair work, to miniaturize circuits, and to work with modern components that are not offered in through-hole formats. SMT soldering is often portrayed as difficult and intimidating but we have taught plenty of people to tackle this and virtually everyone finds it…

The holiday season is already upon us which means it's time to do some making of holiday things. And, what better than a flashing LED holiday bit of swag? Join Ray and Issac for a guided build of the USB-powered ornament/desk-piece/gift/however-you-use-it pictured above and then take it home to earn geek street cred among your…

Have you been interested in electronics but don't know where to start? This class does not assume any prior experience or knowledge whatsoever so here's your chance! Attendees will learn about basic concepts such as voltage, current, resistance and use of LEDs and mechanical switches and jumpers. Multimeters will be used to measure voltages and…

Have you seen cool circuits you wanted to build but weren't sure where to start? We've got you covered! In this class Ray and Steve will lead you step by step through reading a schematic and the various options for physical construction. We will have example schematics and will help attendees translate them into working…

Encoders are useful for user input in a variety of projects. But it can be tricky to get them to work, and work well. Rather than avoid them, embrace them... with our help! In this class attendees will be taught how to hook up and use a rotary encoder with a built-in switch. The concepts…

This workshop has been cancelled and tickets refunded. Independence day is near and what better way to celebrate than by building one of these kits? Join Ray and Issac for an introduction to soldering via this guided build of a USB-powered blinky light kit? If you've never soldered before, fear not, we will teach the…

Here's your chance to build a truly useful project! This USB-C or USB-Micro powered PCB interfaces nicely with a standard solderless breadboard, providing 3.3V and/or 5.0V for your prototyping. We will explain basic soldering concepts for both through-hole and surface mount (SMT) soldering. The SMT components are mostly on the larger side, similar to our…

If you’d like to learn to solder or just want to hang out and build something, here’s just the opportunit. We will explain basic soldering concepts for through-hole soldering while building a kit with 19 resistors and 19 LEDS. This project makes a great piece of holiday decor for any home or office. All parts…
