Mobile media development using cellular technology need not be limited to a particular phone platform. In this class, we'll utilize a hardware 'cell module' to make cellular calls directly from PC or the Arduino microprocessor board using serial commands. Learn how to hook up your electronic art or DIY project to the cellular network in the most direct and potentially low-cost way without the overhead of programming for a phone OS.
OpenGL ES is a subset of the OpenGL graphics API designed for embedded systems. This workshop will serve as a quick introduction to programming 3D graphics with OpenGL ES on mobile phone platforms such as Apple iPhone and/or Google Android.
I've never taken a class at the public school where does it meet? is there still room in this class?
more..hi zuspan, The class will meet at our new classroom on Chung King Road in Chinatown (951 Chung King Road to be exact). There is still room, you can register by following the google checkout button on the class info page (http://la.thepublicschool.org/class/1440).
Each participant in this on-the-go class would be given a tiny electronic wireless sensor circuit (exact sensor technology TBD) and an assignment to cover several blocks of the city on foot. All of the circuits together will form a wireless mesh network and transmit collected data to the instructor's laptop. We'll use the second half of the class to sift through the collected data, discuss, and attempt to visualize the urban topology produced by the distributed electronic eyes and ears. Think practical workshop on senseable environments.
All you can learn about LEDs (light-emitting diodes) in a one-session course. Find out about the physical and optical properties of LEDs; manipulating light intensity and color; how to control a large number of individual LEDs, clusters, segment and matrix displays; how to choose the parts and where to get all this stuff.
This intermediate-level class will be part of the 8-bit Lab, an ongoing series of electronics workshops at The Public School. Some experience with digital electronics is recommended for sign-up. <!-- or completion of the introductory workshop (thepublicschool.org/253/8-bit-lab-intro/) is a prerequisite for sign-up. -->
For those on the interest list who have taken this class and feel ready to go a step further with microprocessor circuits, a new 8-bit Lab workshop scheduled for August 23rd may be of interest: http://la.thepublicschool.org/class/1342
Different electro-mechanical elements would be introduced and demonstrated. The optimal application for these elements should also be discussed so students know when to use what in their own projects. Do I used a DC or stepper motor for a situation where exact rotation is necessary...a pnuematic piston or linear actuator when i'm lifting something heavy?
I think the circuits necessary to drive these elements would also be interesting. How to use relays, transistors, diodes and so on.

Learn to make and process audio signals using the Arduino platform. One-session workshop will cover topics such as synthesis, sequencing, MIDI, OSC.. jump-start your electronic music-making or audio installation project!

8-bit Lab is an ongoing series of electronics workshops at The Public School. This two-session class will meet on weekends and serve as a hands-on introduction to building microcontroller circuits.
Students will work with the 8-bit AVR chips and Arduino platform to learn how to use LEDs, switches, sensors and motors. Use the skills from this workshop to make your own robot or interactive art piece. No previous electronics experience necessary, but some programming know-how recommended. Electronics supplies will be provided.

Introductory microcontrollers workshop. This would be a series of hands-on classes for those interested in learning to work with digital circuits. We will use the 8-bit AVR chips and Arduino platform to cover topics from basics like using LEDs, switches, sensors and motors to more advanced topics like servo control, serial communication, etc. Use the skills from this workshop to make your own robot or interactive art piece. No previous electronics experience necessary, but some programming know-how recommended.

Thank you those on the interest list who received our question form and took a minute to answer it. The form results are posted above. There were a couple of additional comments that we'd like to address:
1. "teacher isn't listed and title of class was confusing, still waiting on the "Italian" slant to be explained"
I believe the teacher has been listed from the beginning, see under the date and location under the info tab.
more..Crash course introduction to a range of sensor technologies and how to use them with a microprocessor board (Arduino). Make your electronic art or DIY project hear, see and feel things after one intensive workshop.
One session hands-on workshop that will explore some options for using solar cell technology in your projects. Students will get to build and experiment with circuits that capture and store renewable energy from the sun. Small-scale solar means not big enough to power your laptop, but about right to have some fun in the sun!
