We certainly now have the room for more attendees and the space needs more members. As example the Music Hackspace has actively promoted its events and brought a lot of new and interesting members. | ||

Specs: contains two NanodeRF SMT's, one with an Air Quality Egg Sensor Shield (temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide and nitrous dioxide sensors) + mini fan and the other with an Ethernet controller and an RGB status LED which illuminates the egg housing. The sensor egg should be located outdoors (but undercover) and the base-station egg plugs into your home Internet router. The units communicated via 433Mhz RFM12B. | Specs: contains two NanodeRF SMT's, one with an Air Quality Egg Sensor Shield (temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide and nitrous dioxide sensors) + mini fan and the other with an Ethernet controller and an RGB status LED which illuminates the egg housing.
