How To Get Involved

There are many ways to contribute to the DorkbotPDX community. Some of us are information junkies, so we have adopted a wealth of ways to share between ourselves and any passersby. Here are a variety of things you can do if you are interested in being a part of this crowd (we are most definitely non-exclusive!):

  • Present on something interesting you're doing/working on/interested in at an upcoming meeting! Let me (Thomas) know if you have some ideas.
  • Sign up for the mailing lists.
  • Join us on IRC.
  • Sign up on this site and create a member page.
  • Join the DorkbotPDX Flickr group and post pictures you think we should see.
  • Tag your del.icio.us posts with "dorkbotpdx" if you'd like others in the group to see them.
  • Best of all: join us at our bi-weekly meetings.
  • If there's some other way you'd like to get involved or you'd like to make DorkbotPDX aware of something you're working on, feel free to contact us via any of these means. Or, you can email me directly (my barely obfuscated email address is located on the page at the other end of that link).

Arduino Midi Anyone?

I'm new to Arduino and would like to create a Midi controller using this interesting new circuitry. Any information about what I might want to purchase to get started would be just grand. My goal is to create a Midi Concertina Accordion controller much like this one: http://home.stny.rr.com/peverett/gadget.html , only using Arduino. If successful, I imagine a small Midi band meeting late evening upstairs at the Lucky Lab in Multnomah Village. I too work with electron microscopes . . . must be something in the water here in the NW? Cheers, BD
