Bitraf

Bitraf has a dedicated mini-CNC for producing circuit board (PCB) for electronics. This is a quick way to prototype designs and produce small runs (1-10 boards). You can use the same design files and can send off to a professional manufacturer for larger quantities. THIS COURSE IS IN ENGLISH. I this course we go through the basic needed for safe and practical use: * Possibilities and limitations when milling PCB * Exporting PCB files (Gerber/Excelon) from KiCAD. Note1 * Set up gcode paths and export in FlatCAM * Run the jobs on the machine using Universal Gcode Sender This course is for paying members of Bitraf. You can sign up at https://p2k16.bitraf.no If you only want to have the course, you can cancel your membership again afterwards. You can preferably install FlatCAM in advance. This is easy on Windows, and a bit complicated on Mac OS and Linux. If you bring your laptop we can assist during the course with installation. The software is also installed on a machine for common use at Bitraf. More information: * PCB CNC documentation on Bitraf wiki: https://bitraf.no/wiki/CNC3-3018Pro * Flatcam install: http://flatcam.org/download * Flatcam manual: http://www.flatcam.org/manual/index.html * KiCAD design files for our example: https://github.com/bitraf/cnc3018pro Note1: We use a readymade design in this course. The class *does not cover* design of PCBs. If you do not know how to do this, we recommend learning KiCAD. The process used by PCB CNC mill should work fine also with other PCB design programmer such as Eagle, Fritzing etc.

Bring your own project if you want or just drop by to check out what we're all about. Check the Photos (https://www.meetup.com/bitraf/photos/) here on Meetup to see examples of what Bitraf members are making on BuildNight. The doors are open from 1800, often earlier too. Feel free to come later too, we'll stick around for most of the evening. See http://bitraf.no/arrangementer#byggekveld for details.

Meetup for people interested in the Fabricatable Machines project. Get the latest news and have a chat with people building a machine. https://github.com/fellesverkstedet/fabricatable-machines

Dette er en samling for alle som har eller skal bygge props og kostymer av alle slag. Her kan du møte selvstendige bygger og medlemmer av 501st/Nordic Garrison. Så har du en kostyme drøm og ønsker hjelp for å bygge for eksempel en stormtrooper så kan man få hjelp her. Men dette er også for alle som ikke har tilknytting til SW universet.
