Where: 23b Shop, 418 E. Commonwealth, Unit 1, Fullerton CA 92832
What: Monthly Pot Luck. Bring something delicious to share. If you are lacking creativity, downtown Fullerton has a plethora of restaurants.
The theme this month is "Circuit Bending." Details are below.
Via Danozano:
Circuit bending is happening this Saturday for sure, so go to the swap meet, or garage sale, or garage, or Filipino 98+ cents store, or dumpster, bring some electrical or electronic toys or objects that can stand to be improved, and we'll void some warranties.
Reed Ghazala has a great site which is loaded with some basic ideas and theory about how some things work:

There's a lot of info on the web about bending, but we can jump right in with no prior knowledge and do fun stuff, in many cases.
It's hit or miss, we'll talk about that... we'll talk about how to make a circuit do interesting things, how to find new jobs for old gear, and I will have several very wise and sharp electronics people breathing moist vapors down my neck whilst I flout the very foundational rules of electronics and electrical engineering before your eyes!

We will also probably talk about making little battery-powered amps like that mint box thing, input and output caps, diodes, ckt protection, resistor code, and lots of core foundational electronics stuff, so you can feel good about that. This is probably not an accredited class suitable for transfer to higher learning institutes. but you'll still know more than they do.
A few points:
- If you want to make things that make noises, maybe start with some noisy things?
- We won't be modifying anything with wall power, we are working on devices with batteries only. So if someone brings a pack of AA or AAA batteries, that's a good plan to make friends.
- We have tools
- We have components, (which we might maybe ask you to consider donating something if you want an expensive thing, or the last one), several soldering stations, and a variety of materials, but if you want something special please do bring it (and a spare if you have one to spare.)

- Doll parts make great knobs for electronics, especially arms and heads, but don't let me fence you in here... go nuts, we have hot glue.
- Newer electronics, and those with very few internal components (like just a chip blob plus a couple resistors) may be very hard to bend. Old analog stuff is super easy to work with, but harder to find. Shop wisely and inexpensively with this in mind.
