Electronics
TinkerMill has a very well equipped Electronics Area for member use. Long time members with many small projects, or product developers doing something absolutely new – gather in the TinkerMill Electronics Area. More than just the availability of superior technology for testing, there are like minded interesting people to find collaboration with. With an open layout, people 'working' in electronics are in visual and verbal communication with other unrelated areas. Electronics is bordered by the kitchen, the laser cutter, and rapid prototyping. A tight circle for product developers than includes food preparation. Beer is food.
On Wednesdays at 6:15 pm there is a Soldering Class that affords 4 students 2 teachers and runs approx 3 hours. Starts at the white boards – goes practical with Mechanical, Electrical, & Electronics soldering and desoldering.
On Saturdays at 4pm there is an Intro to the Electronics Area that runs less than an hour to discover what the heck we have and how to use it. Shop etiquette.
