Went to the Midsouth Makers meeting this past Friday. Great group. Not only did they do a hands on soldering demo, but also had mini talks on making your own chainmail and a computer project in the preliminary stages.
I also learned about some Electronics software I haven’t heard of before called Fritzing which is an electronics schematic capture / printed circuit board layout open source software which I want to check out.
I encourage you to check out the Midsouth Makers. Hopefully the group will continue to grow and be able to establish a hacker space here in Memphis!
