A workshop for beginners, The Analog Station introduces micro-controllers, sensors, programming and hands-on soldering skills. Students will go home with fun internet-of-things device they built themselves!

Overview

A hands-on workshop in a kit, The Analog Station merges the tactile vibe of analog meters with modern sensor technologies, web connectivity and creative code. All with a warm analog glow!

Participants work with their instructor and each other to assemble and configure their own devices. All materials, tools and support are provided. Upon completion, students will have a working knowledge of techniques for creative coding, and a fun device they built themselves to take home.

The first workshop was offered at TIAT here in San Francisco. Check out images from the workshop below:

What does it do? Two things!

Audio Mode: Bass, mids, and treble each get their own meter. Bring an analog visualizer to your desk or sound system. It responds to music, ambient noise, or voice.

Climate Mode: With the flick of a switch, The Analog Station displays temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure.
