Not Just Arduino #6 - 17th December 2012 DRAFT

Many thanks for your contributions. We received 3 logos (2 by Perry, 1 by mentar).

Have a look, leave comments and please keep contributing designs! https://groups.google.com/d/topic/not-just-arduino/oPrMdG62xAA/discussion

For inspiration you can compare to what the other London Hackspace subgroups have done: Music Hackspace logo http://bit.ly/Sstcvz Video Hackspace logo http://www.videohackspace.org/ Graphics Hackspace logo https://twitter.com/ihackgraphics

Subgroups and the New Space layout

We will soon to a new space (not confirmed yet) and if you think our group needs some requirements (like other sub-groups), please contribute to the wiki page:

London Arduino

New Meetup group created by Marc and some of this friends who have robotics projects and want to create a community on Meetup. http://www.meetup.com/LondonArduino/

Arduino Esplora - new Arduino board

Based on the Leonardo, this new board has lots of pre-built sensors (sound, light, and temperature ...), an analog joystick, a three-axis accelerometer and many others features.

Price will be around $54

Contribution from Eugene:

a solution to transmit data wirelessly with Nordic nrf21 chips witch will require a simple server/client setup. Link to tutorial here: http://maniacbug.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/getting-started-rf24/

Suggestions, project updates, good links. Please contribute

  • Raspberry Pi / code club link
  • Short talk proposal:

Let's have short talks (15min) at the beginning of session on specific subjects. Please add here you ideas of subjects and tell us if you want to present something.

Next event

Date: 14th January 2013

Workshop by Eugene:

PCB / etching workshop from concept to prototype:

  • How to build your circuit using Fritzing, make a schematic, and the circuit board diagram.
  • How to prepare a copper-board, add a photo-resist layer, expose, develop, etch and drill
