Here are several going off at the same time.

As advertised on www.skylighter.com.

The business meeting should not take long and we can jump back on to the Power Wheels.

We are continuing the Power Wheel builds until we get some entries done. 

Bring your Power Wheel, framing materials, wheels, tools, motors.   We will be building the power controllers.  We need two for each car.  Even if you do not have a car you can help with the Make:KC car.

So add what you need and what you are bringing.

I will not make it to this build night but I am leaving the things you will need for your project:  mesh, hot glue gun, bolts, instructions.  Also I am leaving the switches, regulators, instructions.  If you want to build one from the beginning read on for to bring.

For build night we are going to hack a mouse.  This will cause a pager motor to shake the mouse every time it is clicked.  Great for surprising friends and gaming.  Please bring a usb mouse.

The plans are here: http://cdn.makezine.com/make/06/rumble_mouse.pdf

SURPRISE.

Vince was kind enough to hold the planning meeting at a different time.

Sooo we can have a Build night this Tuesday.  This will be a soldering night.



And the question is "Tom do you need anything?"



I know Steve was going to bring 8 pin sockets and I am bringing a glue gun.  Vince can you bring extra soldering irons incase someone needs to borrow one?



Bring a case for the project if you want.

We are going to be bread boarding the TV-B-Gone.  Tom is bringing what he has of the kits.  Which are around six dollars.  We is the testing phase so come to learn and modify.

Next week we will be soldering and putting the project in a case.

We are canceling tonight's Build Night.  We were going to trouble shoot the Solar Lights but no one has a fix yet.  



As we continue to find a fix for the lights we are going to push forward with the next project: TV-B-Gone.  Tom is hosting this.  Estimated cost is (and don't hold me to it) about 6 bucks.  Start looking for a 'project case' that is big enough to hold several quarters:  M&M cylinder, milk top, bottle cap, coin purse, coffee cup.  This is a soldering project so bring your irons.
