This Wednesday, Erin Lewis will turn conductive wool from the electric sheep shown above into conductive felt that you can make stuff out of! There is an 8 dollar materials fee if you want to make some felt, because this stuff doesn’t grow on trees.  It grows on giant electric sheep. And they bite, and kick and stuff.  No need to RSVP, or sign up or anything. Just show up. And it’s still open studio, so if you’re scared of the sheep, or just want to do some Arduino type thing, that’s cool too.

7- 10 pm in the studio.

Open studio tonight!

Maybe you miswired the optocoupler in the trigger circuit. Or maybe your solenoid current is too high.  Bring it down to Open Studio, tonight (and every Wednesday until the end of time),  and Fluffy will be soaring in no time.
