Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder.

It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is mainly used for coating of metals.

Game Boy Macro

Time: Dec 17 12:30 PM - 02:30 PM
Host: Ben Rogers
Register: http://makeict.wildapricot.org/event-5073465
Price: MakeICT Members - $15.00
Price: Non-Members - $20.00

A Gameboy Macro is a modified Nintendo DS console that has had it’s top screen removed and a resistor inserted so that it still boots through the system checks without a top screen. The Gameboy macro is intended to play Gameboy advance games using original Nintendo hardware emulation.
The class will cover working with very small screws, taking out screens, shell modification and a tiny bit of soldering of a resistor and a speaker wire.
Every participant will leave with a working gameboy macro (that needs a bit of cosmetic touch up from removing the top screen). If anything breaks during reassembly I will have spare parts to ensure everyone completes the project.
All ages are welcome, but minors must have parents in the room.
