 On the 2nd of July 2011 I am organising an Arduino Workshop at the Center for Contemporary Arts, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. The workshop is being held at the Electron Club room and we meet at 1pm (Presentation starts at 1:30). We are going to begin with a presentation about the Arduino programming environment which will be suitable for everyone. I hope to give a short guide on the software and demonstrate the building of a couple of simple sketches. After there will be a chance to compare projects, seek advice from other attendees and generally chat and plan how to move a regular meeting forwards.  I will also bring my box of "toys" so there will be other hardware (sensors, servos, displays etc) available for people to experiment and play with. If you have an Arduino, bring it and a laptop with you! If not, still come. I have a couple of spares and others may have more too. This is the first event of this kind that i have organised and I hope that it will become a regular event! If you are in the area and can spare some time, come along and try out some Arduino programming with us. | 
The Sure Electronics Tripath TA2024 Board is out of the box a good value for money amplifier module. However with some careful tweaking it can be made to sound better. This article focuses on the power supply to the Tripath chip and shows some improvements that can be made.
The Sure Electronics TA2024 Amplifier impressed on my first inspection although suffered from Poor DC offset and a slightly dull sound. This is the second modification I have made which is aimed at improving the top end sound of the amp.
