==== News: Raspberry Pi Shortage ====
The 2020–present global chip shortage is an ongoing global crisis in which the demand for integrated circuits (commonly known as semiconductor chips) exceeds the supply, affecting more than 169 industries. The crisis has led to major price increases, shortages queues, and scalping among consumers for automobiles, graphics cards, video game consoles, computers, household appliances, and other products that require semiconductors. Which has affected the production of everyone’s favorite Raspberry Pi. The EWS has a finite amount of raspberry pi, for now please ask the director(professor) or supervisor(undergraduate) when you want to use the raspberry pi.

==== Event: (date TBD) Soldering practice 2 ====

{{ :news:ews-event-soldering-2-board.png?direct&128|Soldering Practice}}

Let's learn soldering by building an electronic project, again!
The last event was so popular that we decided to hold the same event again.
The date is not yet determined but we will announce it here (and in other channels) as soon as we know it.

As before, no prior experience is needed.

We will build a "blinky" circuit that makes two small light-emitting diodes flash alternately.
The circuit is battery-operated and you can keep all the parts when it is finished.
It has many uses, for example, an additional safety light for your bicycle at night.

This time we will use a printed circuit board (PCB), designed here by the EWS staff,
to give the final project a very professional appearance.
