An Arduino programming group starting from scratch. We'll meet up and figure it out collectively. This is meant to be a convenient weekly get together where we bring our projects, work on them and try to work past roadblocks. It is also meant to inspire. What are you doing with this micro controller? What are you bringing to life with it? Are you animating your house, making interactive kinetic sculpture, making a robot? I've got a place for us to meet in old town Pasadena with nice big tables w …

Hey, so the point of this meetup is to bring EDM lovers located in and around OC together on a regular basis to communicate and get to know each other. The ultimate goal is to develop a community big enough where we're able to host events in OC outside of a club environment. Of course, we'll get together and hit up clubs or events every so often, but the goal is to create something here in OC from the ground up.

Beatboxing is perhaps the most traditionally underemphasized and yet musically fundamental art form that exists for creation with the body alone. Through the practice of human beatbox the artist can weave a tapestry of rhythmic complexity unmatched by any other musical medium besides that of a percussion set or of electronic devices which involve the use of objects external to the creator, and even then the human voice holds its own as the only medium through which a person can create a seemingl …

Riverside Raspberry in a Nutshell If someone asks “What is Raspberry Pi anyway?” and you didn’t happen to prepare a 30 second “elevator speech,” start here. The Raspberry Pi is a small computer on a printed circuit board, $35. Its primary goal is to spark kids’ interest in computer programming, but it’s shown a huge appeal to kids with other interests such as electronics, robotics, open source software. It has the right balance of significant power, an open design and very low cost. What this en …

This group is for those who would like to build a 3d printer, but would prefer working in a team rather than alone.

The goal is for each member to build their own personal 3d printer, make friends, and of course learn. :)
