Introduction

EHack night is held every Monday from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM and consists of TCM members working and learning about electronics. Here is a few things you might see going on:

  • Soldering
  • Microcontroller programming
  • Electronics Design
  • Discussions and presentations
  • Teaching and learning
  • Classes and workshops

For the most up-to-date discussions about this group, please check out our forum thread.

Ideas for the group

  • Open to the public? Maybe recommend a $10 donation?
  • Group electronics project
  • Classes
    • Arduino
    • Electronics Basics (Ohm's Law, Kirchoff's Rules, Build a {Capacitor, Resistor, etc.}, etc.)
    • Soldering
    • Analog
    • Digital
    • Radio (Co-op with Ham group?)
    • Integrated Circuits
      * Logic (74xx, 40xx, etc.)
      • Microarchitecture
      • Microcontrollers (PIC, AVR, MSP430, 6800, 8051, etc.)
      • Microprocessors (8086, ARM, MIPS, etc.)
      • Other (DSP, ADC/DAC, CPLD, FPGA, SoC, etc.)
    • Software tools for designing electronics (Commercial & Open Source)
    • Digital Signal Processing
    • Busses (I2C, I2S, 1-Wire, SPI, CAN(?), USB(?))
    • Miscellaneous: PID, PLL, Op-Amp, Flip-Flop

Ideas for a group project

  • Build a robot
  • Build a SMT reflow oven
  • Open source FPGA-based universal chip programmer
  • Open source FPGA-based all-in-one benchtop tool: DMM/power supply/oscilloscope/spectrum analyzer/arbitrary waveform generator/logic analyzer/etc.
  • 3D scanner
  • PCB etching
    * Toner-transfer method
    • Silkscreen method (Co-op w/ “Art Dept.”; They're starting a silk-screen project)
    • CNC subtractive method (Co-op w/ CNC Dept.)
    • Other?
