"Build an Arduino" is a workshop where you are invited to come and build a clone of the Arduino Uno R4. Unlike previous Unos, the R4 uses an ARM Cortex chip, which aside from being very fast, is also a good challenge for learning how to do SMT reflow soldering. You can find the KiCAD project files for the board on Aaron's SourceHut.

Workshop cost: £25

Maximum Participants: 8

It is not expected to be a particularly difficult workshop. It is intended to give confidence and demonstrate that "you can do it!", with the added bonus of leaving with a useful dev board you built yourself!

The workshop includes the bare circuit board and components. It'll cover the process of applying solder paste using a stencil, part placement, using the T-962A Reflow Oven, fixing issues, and flashing the bootloader and sample program.
