From San Francisco/Bay Area Stationery Meetup

Step into engineer mode and build your own automatic security gate using an Arduino, a motion sensor, and a servo motor! In this hands-on class, you’ll create a mini “fortress gate” that springs open whenever someone approaches. Along the way, you’ll learn: * How motion sensors detect movement * How servo motors create controlled motion * Basic Arduino programming and wiring * How real-world smart security systems work By the end of the class, you’ll have a working motion-activated gate and the skills to customize it with lights, alarms, or secret fortress upgrades. No experience needed — just bring your curiosity and prepare to defend the kingdom. 🏰🤖 **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**

SF Bay Area Stationery Meetup - Trinkets & Treasures

Sun, May 31, 6:00 PM

4.9

Hi Stationery Friends! Let's get whimsical and show off our favorite silly little guys and decorative nonsense. Think eraser dust vacuums that look like hamsters, pens with dangling charms, the blind box treasure that lives in your pen case just to make you smile. Show us the charms hanging from your Traveler's Notebook, the pens you bought just because they're cute, anything with Mofusand or Chiikawa or your favorite Sanrio character. Have you decorated your stationery bag with spinning pens and fidget keychains? How are you decorating your useful objects? Whether or not you can make it this month, [join us on Discord](https://discord.gg/TG8pK5BTkT) to talk stationery, learn about future meetups, and vote on themes. Rickshaw recommends the nearby Coffee Shop, Piccino Cafe, La Stazione, and Neighbor Bakehouse for coffee & pastries. Street parking is available but pay close attention to the restrictions - they're different on basically every street surrounding Rickshaw. The 48 & 55 buses drop off just about at Rickshaw's door, the Caltrain 22nd Street Stop is a short walk away, and so is the 23rd Street Stop of Muni's T Line.

San Francisco Writers Workshop collaborates with our hacker friends to raise funds for everyone's favorite local makerspace: Noisebridge! Several of our best authors will produce stories/poems/word-based constructs. Each will share their literary product with a hacker, who will respond with a device/app/gadget/doohickey inspired by the writing. On the night of the event, audience members will vote for the device that best complements the assigned writer's piece. The winning hacker will receive a prize of dubious value! Expect delicious snackies, and other fun additions: in the past we've included a fun raffle!

Session 3: Breadboarding the Op-Amp

Sat, Jun 6, 8:00 PM

## Session 3: Breadboarding the Op-Amp If the transistor is the building block of analog electronics, the **op-amp** is the Swiss Army knife. Op-amps show up everywhere in guitar pedals — as clean boosts, buffers, tone stacks, and the gain stages at the heart of overdrive circuits. The Tube Screamer, the RAT, the LM308-based fuzz variants — all built around op-amps. In this session we'll get hands-on with the op-amp on a breadboard and learn how to put it to work. We'll cover: * **What an op-amp is** — and how it differs from a transistor amplifier * **Biasing** — setting up the op-amp to work with a single-supply voltage, like a 9V battery * **Setting the gain** — using feedback resistors to dial in exactly how much amplification you want * **Building a boost or buffer circuit** — and hearing the difference it makes No prior experience with op-amps needed. If you've been following the series, you already have all the foundation you need — but newcomers are welcome too. Already working on a pedal project? Bring it! Whether you have questions, need a second pair of eyes, or just want to solder alongside others, you're welcome to work on your own build.
