UPDATE : The Workshop has been postponed to Thursday the 24th of May 2018

Get started with the world’s favorite open-source electronics prototyping platform.

Just bring your laptop, we have an Arduino-style board for you, and all components to build some simple projects.

You’ll learn about digital and analog, input and output, while connecting the wires and writing Arduino code.

No experience with software or hardware required.

We’ll spend about 2 hours building a project that you…

Today, we start by exploring the basic design and core functions of our Dim Sum Robot, in order to take a decision on the hardware to use for this project.

Looking at CPU available and their characteristics to allow us to choose a good fit for the project.

As mentioned last week, we are going on the 5th of May to Hua Qiang Bei to discover the World biggest electronic market.

You are welcome to join. To check the details go there : Hua Qiang Bei – Market Discovery

So far our list of interest for the visit of the market will be primarily on:

1. Components / Parts
   1. Buttons
   2. SMD Packs
   3. Proximity Sensor
      1. Time of flight sensor
   4. Motors / Actuators
      1. Motor Driver board
   5. Limit Switches
   6. Batteries
   7. Solar Panel
2. Equipment

   2. Oscilloscope
   3. Soldering Iron TS-100

Shenzhen’s world famous Hua Qiang Bei market is on our doorstep.

Ninety percent of the world’s electronics is made in the South China region and sold here. You need to see it to believe it.

Dim Sum Labs will be making its first 2018 group visit on Saturday 5 May, 2018.

Everyone is welcome to join us.

We will be shopping for components for our own personal projects and also some for the Dim Sum Labs community.

If you want to buy some components, you are welcome to join us. Please make…

This talk will take you through some tools and techniques Hamish (member of DimSumLabs) used to reverse engineer the keyboard controller in his Thinkpad x230 laptop. He was driven to start this project when the laptops currently on sale just did not meet his requirements. Even the durable Thinkpad laptops he preferred in the past are being dumbed down. Eventually, he will need a new laptop – and with the available offerings, he just does not want anything that currently can be purchased off the…
