We will assemble the π•pistrelle bat listening and recording device by https://www.omenie.com (version 5.3) using the techniques of stencil paste printing, surface mount assembly, and hotplate reflow. We will also learn a technique that stops your hands from shaking, so you can very very precisely place microscopic parts. No prior experience or knowledge of anything electronic needed. Caffeine use is not recommended immediately before. All tools are provided. You will need your own headphones (3.5mm) and optionally a microSD card if you want to do recordings. Related events:
