CHM - Soldering practice and circuit testing with an oscilloscope Part 2

Build a function generator and practice soldering at the same time. With a soldering kit that we provide, you will assemble a circuit that generates sine-waves, triangle-waves, and square-waves. Then you will test the circuit with an oscilloscope. This kit is a little above the beginner level, so we plan to extend this project into a second week. Once your function generator is working, you can pair up with another workshop participant and observe two function generators sending waves to an oscilloscope in "X-Y" mode. This pattern is called a Lissajoues Figure.

Looking forward to seeing you this third Friday!

Circuit Hacking Monday – Open Electronics Workshop

Need some motivation to finish that electronics project? Join us for an open workshop where everyone brings something they're working on. We'll have soldering stations, test equipment, and a room full of people interested in electronics, programming, robotics, and embedded systems. Whether you're debugging a circuit, writing code, or designing your next gadget, you're welcome here. No lectures. No pressure. Just making things together.

Bay Area AI War Room - SF Edition - Saturday, 10:00 AM

Agrivoltaics in California: Growing Food & Generating Clean Energy

California is working to meet ambitious clean energy goals while protecting productive farmland and managing increasingly scarce water resources. Could agrivoltaics—combining solar energy generation with agriculture—help address all three? Join us for a conversation with **Michelle Cox, Program Manager at HARVEST California**, exploring the rapidly evolving agrivoltaics landscape in California. Moderated by **Emmet Murphy**, the discussion will look at how dual-use solar can support farming, water resilience, and California’s clean energy transition. We’ll explore: * What current research tells us about impacts on crops, water use, biodiversity, and farm resilience. * Lessons from California research and commercial projects, as well as experience elsewhere in the U.S. and internationally. * How agrivoltaics could help California navigate the intersection of **food, energy, and water**. * Policy, economic, and practical barriers to adoption—and what it will take to responsibly scale. Whether you work in agriculture, energy, climate technology, research, policy, or investing—or are simply curious about innovative climate solutions—join us to explore the potential of producing renewable energy while keeping California farms productive and resilient. **Agenda** * 5:00 - 5:30 Check-in and networking * 5:30 - 6:30 Presentation and Q/A * 6:30 - 7:00 Open networking ​**About 9Zero:** We’re a members-only community of founders, investors, scientists, and innovators accelerating climate solutions through meaningful relationships. Apply to join at [www.9Zero.com](www.9zero.com).

Analog Electronics for Guitar Pedals

# Analog Electronics for Guitar Pedals Work on your current project, start a new project discuss guitar pedals, analog and digital audio topics. No prior electronics experience required. Bring your curiosity. The goal of this session will be take the circuits previously built as prototypes and wire them in a permanent enclosure.

Laser Cutter Safety Training

Learn how to be safe while using the laser cutter! We have a 150W, CO2 laser cutter with a 3 x 4 ft bed. This training is required to use the laser cutter because we don't want people setting our most expensive equipment donation on fire. You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now. Training covers * Dangers of the laser cutter * How to be safe * How to put out a fire Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps. This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. There is a 5$ fee to register, and we suggest a 20-30$ donation for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net. If the registration fee is a barrier to your participation, please reach out to the event organisers.
