Learn what the mill does and how it can be used. A small ($10) donation is requested to cover the cost of materials, which will go home with you (an endmill and a chunk of aluminum to continue to improve your milling skills).nnUsing the LathennWhen: Saturday May 13, 2017 1p to 3pm. nRegister: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/using-the-metal-lathe-may-certification-class-tickets-34222145358nn*Description:* Hive member Brad Walsh will be doing an introduction to using the metal lathe. Learn what it does and how it can be used. Maybe you can even mill threads on a bolt! A small ($5) donation is requested to cover the cost of materials (aluminum piece and carbide insert).nnBoth Events require basic machine safety gearnn•Substantial shoes (no sandals or open toe) Hot metal chips can hurt.nn•Long hair pulled back in a ponytail.nn•No hand jewelry (rings, watches).nn•Eye protection (safety glasses can be provided).nn•Prefer no long sleeves, they can be rolled up though.nn•Idea is to not have anything to catch on the spinning tool/part and pull you into the process.n

The class mentioned below has been canceled due to lack of signups. It will be offered again in a few weeks.

On Wednesday, April 19 from 6-9PM, Hive 13 secretary and resident curmudgeon Ryan Hershey will provide a gentle introduction to the Arduino. This will be extremely shallow coverage of the first steps required. Those already capable of installing the Arduno software and of basic C programming will find little of interest.nnIf however, you've wanted to use microcontrollers in your projects but been stymied by one or more of the listed topics, this overview should prove useful.nnFor further detail or to sign up, please follow the Eventbrite link below.nnEventbrite - A Gentle Introduction to Arduinonnnnn

nnIntro to the CNC router. We will cover CAD, CAM and postprocessing as well as info on mills (router bits) and calculating "feeds and speeds" in the AM session. After a break (bring your lunch or go out on your own),nwe will demonstrate the Hive 1 3 CNC router and each attendee will run a tool path.nThe fee includes a mill and a piece of plywood to take along.nTo qualify to use the Hive 1 3 CNC we require that you complete this seminar, then contact a Hive 1 3 CNC machinist and have them observe you running your own (simple) project.nYou can contact a machinist via the Hive 13 mailing list.nNon members will need to sign a release before taking the course.nnSign up link below:nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/cnc-intro-at-hive-13-tickets-33441101234

Brad Walsh will be giving a "hands on" talk to introduce our newest additions to the electronics area; Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope and a Rigol DG1022 function generator. These new purchases bring us into the modern age. (If the logic analyzer arrives we may even talk about that also).nnEventbrite link: nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/hive13-new-electronics-gear-intro-tickets-33177944124nnNo charge for this talk, but you get what you pay for. This will just be basic oscilloscope operation and we will examine some simple circuits.
