Join us on this upcoming Tuesday evening with Jack from Beepboop Electronics (UK), who will show you all ins and outs regarding tape looping, slicing, editing, tape deck modifying and more!
In this 3 hr get together on a Tuesday evening, we are working with a small group of just 6 participants to make sure there’s enough time to learn how to make, record, slice, splice, fix, break tape and make compositions with them and extended tape loop setups.
Tuesday 10-03 from 18:00-21:00
No materials needed, you get everything a the workshop
Acid Solder Club studio – Vlampijpstraat 94 – 3534 AR Utrecht – Netherlands
Beepboop Electronics is a tape loop maker focused on analogue tape manipulation, experimental electronics, and mechanical sound processes. By combining cassette technology, tape loops, and DIY circuits, he builds instruments that highlight the unique qualities of tape noise, texture, repetition, and movement.
These machines are designed for musicians, sound artists, and makers interested in tactile interfaces, experimental composition, and exploring sound beyond traditional instruments.
Basis Workshop Reparatie kleine Electra met Veerle Pennock van Acid Solder Club
Is je apparaat nou weer kapot?
In deze middag hands-on cursus leer je hoe je kleine elektrische apparaten veilig opent, onderzoekt en waar mogelijk tijdens de middag ook zelf repareert! Veel apparaten worden weggegooid, terwijl het probleem vaak zit 1 onderdeel, zoals een kabel, schakelaar of zekering.
In deze cursus leer je herkennen wat nog te repareren is en wat niet, wanneer ga je zelf aan de slag? en wanneer laat het je over aan een professional? We duiken in de meest bekende reparatie gevallen en deze cursus is echt gericht op beginners, hobbyisten, muzikanten en makers die meer grip willen krijgen op de toekomst van hun geliefde apparaten. Maar ook voor ieder mens die willen begrijpen hoe apparaten werken en hoe je eenvoudige reparaties uitvoert met minimale middelen.
Iedereen kan leren repareren! zolang je maar weet hoe.
Wat leer je?
Veilig werken met elektrische apparaten
Hoe apparaten zijn opgebouwd (met en zonder printplaat)
Diagnose stellen: waar zit het probleem?
Veel voorkomende reparaties herkennen en uitvoeren
Wanneer je beter een professional inschakelt.
A taste of E-waste, wat kan je nog met apparaten wanneer deze niet meer te repareren zijn?
Als deelnemer krijg je naast de cursus ook de ACID SOLDER CLUB Repair Handleiding + Stappenplan
Opbouw cursus
Basis & Diagnose
Veiligheid en handige reparatie tools
Hoe lees je een apparaat (labels, spanning, risico’s)
JA! alleen niet allemaal… heb je een huishoudelijk apparaat of stuk consumenten tech wat (vermoedelijk) stuk is, dan kan je dit meenemen naar de workshop. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan: koffiezet apparaten, koptelefoons, oplaad kabels, tostiapparaat, speelgoed, radio’s, computers, føhns, blenders, strijkijzers, afstandsbedieningen en andere huishoudelijke meuk, maar GEEEEEENwasmachines en grote apparaten dan in een fietsmandje passen! Ook geen hele moeilijke high-end super gecompliceerde dingen als je peperdure HI-FI versterker of batterij-dingen als portable power banks (zijn niet open te krijgen = instant verdriet).
Repair for all!
Teamuitjes en in-company repair workshops
Ja dit kan ook, graag zelfs en gezellig met je team leren repareren en kijken wie van de afdeling de meeste repair skills kan bemachtigen! Wie wil er nou niet met zijn blote klauwen in een apparaat graven in plaats van jeu-de-boulen en naborrel met de afdeling?! toch?!
Mocht je interesse hebben in een reparatie workshop op maat voor je team of familie, stuur een mailtje naar acidsolderclub@gmail.com. Dit is mogelijk om te combineren met andere activiteiten op het Hof van Cartesius zoals een naborrel of post-repair snack bij Warmoes!
Learn step-by-step how to design a basic project PCB from start to finish, with this beginner KICAD workshop and kickstart your PCB manufacturing skills!
Ever wanted to turn your breadboard experiments into something a bit more solid? In this workshop we explore and follow a step-by-step proces of how to design your own circuit board using KiCad from schematic to PCB layout and ready to order!
Why design your own PCB?
Because it’s satisfying to make something that lasts longer than a breadboard project. 🙂 A PCB keeps your circuits stable, easy to share, and ready to reproduce in case you want to make copies for yourself, friends or to sell them. Whether you order it from a fabrication manufacturer such as JLCPCP or PCBWAY, or try etching it yourself, you’ll understand what’s really happening under the surface and that PCB making is not that difficult at all!
What you’ll learn:
KICAD software basics, library management, understanding the user interface
Building a simple schematic with a 555 timer circuit or oscillator drone circuit
Linking symbols in the schematic design, to pcb footprints
Routing traces and designing your layout in the PCB editor
How to make your own footprint and symbol from scratch
Basic design strategy and workflow of KICAD
Common beginner mistakes + insider tips & tricks
Interface and usability of our design
Intro in the PCB manufacturing process, post-design process
Lot’s of user examples and designed PCB’S from Acid Solder Club to examine
The workshop is suited for those who already have some prior knowledge in basics of electronics and components. This is not a beginner electronics workshop, but if you can read and understand basic schematic knowledge and circuit design it should be ok. When in doubt, contact Veerle on http://www.acidsolderclub.com for checking if this is something for you.
Practical info
These are 2 separate workshops, both workshops will be held in ENGLISH, but if your English is not so good, we can translate a bit in between course blocks when needed.
Coffee, Tea and Cookies included, bring your own Lunch!
All day long hands-on workshop with time for Q&A at the end.
For this workshop you need a PC with MacOS or Windows, and install the latest version of KICAD V9.0. via https://www.kicad.org/download/. preferable beforehand, otherwise make sure to be in time or arrive 10 mins earlier to install KICAD if your unsure of installing.
Location is Hof van Cartesius, Vlampijpstraat 94, Utrecht. It’s a short walking distance from Station Zuilen or OV biking/bus distance from Utrecht Central Station. Parking is free between 11:00-06:00 in Vlampijpstraat.
REGULAR PRICE €65,-
STUDENT PRICE €50,-
Workshop limited in space (8 people) for small class courses.
Reoccurring open workspace event for makers, designers, musicians, engineers and those who wants to give soldering and DIY electronics a try
Every other week, Acid Solder Club opens the doors of its workshop in Utrecht to those who are curious about DIY electronics, soundmachines, guitar pedals, soldering and the art of building things yourself. The DIY sessions are part of a growing community in Utrecht and the area where we share knowledge, creative experimentation and provide an accessible learning location for circuit design and electronics.
Each solder session is an open lab environment with benches ready, tools available, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can dive into your own project, get feedback, or simply explore how things work and jam out on some machines of the Acid Solder Club studio. Whether you’re repairing a synth, soldering a small circuit or designing your first PCB, this is a space to learn and meet likeminded others.
What to expect
You’ll find spots to work in the workshop with a small but well-equipped lab, and others who are just as curious as you are. Bring your own project, or pick up one of the DIY kits available from the DIY KIT STORE, if you’d like to start something new. You can ask for availability of kits via e-mail (acidsolderclub@gmail.com) Some participants come to build instruments, others to learn electronics from scratch, and some simply to enjoy a few focused hours surrounded by like-minded people.
About repairs
It’s not a repair café, but if you have something you want to fix, bring it and you’ll get hands-on guidance in how to approach a repair or a build. Learning the process and knowing where to find a repair option, rather than getting it fixed on the event.
Details
€15 entry per person, this helps the workshop to stay alive and thrive in Utrecht and helps with knowing who will come and what to expect! If you are unable to pay entry, you can apply as a volunteer on the day of the event via email, and help out with workshop to-do’s! Coffee and good vibes included, bring your own drinks and snacks.
Max 6 participants: limited tickets per event, it’s a small group learning experience where some people work individual on their project, some want to learn the basics or ask questions.
