Lecture and Lab 7/27/2019: A UPS for your RPi!

raspberry pi FMV34K4JU31TTMJ.LARGEThis Saturday’s Lecture and Lab will focus on a DIY Mini UPS suitable for use with a Raspberry Pi or charging your phone. It has 5v and 12v outputs and uses only 1 18650 Battery.  The cost will be $10.  Bring your soldering iron, hot glue gun, clippers and screwdriver.  If you don’t have any of the above, we will have extra on site.

If you’ve got something else you need to work on, don’t worry! All the “regulars” will be bringing our tools, and we’ll do our best to help.
