I forwarded the request on to the NYC Resistor private list
as well as<br>
the Microcontroller group list.<br>
<br>
I know there is a hack manhattan hackerspace as well.<br>
<br>
You may want to coordinate with NYC Resistor and Hack
Manhattan they<br>
have physical presence and resources. I know they were
discussing<br>
doing some meetups to organize helping out.<br>
