I signed up with my wife and volunteered to drop if the space was needed.

Hey guys,

I dropped the ball on signing up for the soldering class. I'd heard it was popular, but I failed to reckon that it would sell out. Does anyone have an extra ticket that they would be willing to sell me?

Cordially,
J. Bryant Hill

        I have a box of surface mount parts that might possibly have
        what you need, I just need to find it. Either it is buried in
        boxes in my apartment or I brought it into HackPgh and it is
        buried somewhere there, possibly in the big box marked
        "microchips".  I believe it is a small red sparkfun box.

            no, electrolytic. the C6 is I think a 22uf 16v
            the one you tacked onto the one pi fell off later that day
            and the
            one on the new pi somehow also is gone. I now have cases to
            keep them in but figured if you had something I could put
            back on
            there, it would be a good idea.
            Thanks

                Anthony, sounds great to me, I think we'll have plenty
                of helpers.

                Jeff, the only SMT caps I have are 1206 footprint
                0.1uF ceramic caps. Will
                those work for you? I'll bring some to the meeting
                tomorrow and also on
                Saturday.

                    I was interested in watching (if not helping), so

                        Btw, can you spare two of the smd filter caps
                        for a pi?

                            Hello everyone,

                            I'm running the learn to solder class on
                            Saturday, and I'm looking for
                            a few
                            good guys and gals to help out. You don't
                            need to have any prior
                            teaching
                            experience, just know your way around a
                            soldering iron for easy through
                            hole
                            parts. Basically you would just be
                            offering suggestions on soldering
                            technique, answering simple questions
                            about which part goes where on
                            the
                            PCB, that sort of thing. I only need one
                            or two helpers, so please
                            reply to
                            the list if you can make it.

                            The class starts at 1pm, so if you could
                            arrive at 12:50 or
                            thereabouts,
                            that would be swell. Please let me know if
                            you can make it.

                            Thanks much!

                            -Matthew
