<br />
==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />
<br />
==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />

==Previous/Incomplete Projects==<br />
<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />

<br />
==Suggestions==<br />
<br />
*Using AVR-GCC, Make and AVRDude i.e. progamming Arduino's using C instead of being reliant upon the Arduino IDE.<br />
<br />
** There's a lovely, supported Makefile at http://ed.am/dev/make/arduino-mk (project page http://dev.ed.am/arduino-mk)<br />
<br />
*Using hardware programmers.<br />
<br />
*Graphical Programming for Arduino see "Interesting Links"<br />

==Training==<br />
<br />
Training will include;<br />
<br />
* Cutting the board<br />
* Exposing it to UV using a transparancy<br />
* Stripping the exposed photoresist<br />
* Etching the board<br />
* Identifying errors<br />
* Tidying up afterwards<br />
<br />
<br />
==Training notes==<br />
<br />
Calum's demo used MICROTRAK single sided boards, in 35um copper thickness, 1.6mm thick board. You can buy them here: http://www.megauk.com/pcb_laminates.php though I think they have a minimum order, rapid electronics also sells them. Exposure to the UV light was for 6 minutes with an acetate sheet printed at any random shop. Developing and etch times will vary depending on temp and some other factors - but 2.5 minutes for developing is a decent place to start, and 10-20 minutes for etching. Traces less than 10mils in width (and also traces with less than 10 mils between them) will need careful judging of exposure/development/etch times.<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>'''This is a draft FAQ page for the [[Not Just Arduino| Not Just Arduino group]]'''<br />
<br />
===What is this group about?===<br />
We are an informal user group meeting every 2 weeks for people who want to learn, share and experiment electronics and microcontrollers. Event format often varies but is always informal. Contact: [[User:Marcbarto| Marc]] or just ping [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/not-just-arduino our mailing list].<br />
===Do you accept beginners / non-members?===<br />
Yes! You do not have to be a member to attend and all beginers are welcomes. Though if you're becoming a regular we'd like you to become a London Hackspace [[Membership| member]] to support the space. And there is also a donation box near the fridge if you'd like to contribute.<br />
===What should I bring?===<br />
You don't have to bring anything but if you'd like to hack/jam with us please bring your projects, development boards and components. Bringing only your question or just watching what people are doing is also completely fine. <br />
===Getting Started with Arduino===<br />
There are many development boards and ways to explore DIY electronics, Arduino is one of the easiest ones. We recommend to get a Starter Kit, here are a few good ones [http://oomlout.co.uk/products/arduino-starter-kit-ardx Oomlout] and [http://proto-pic.co.uk/proto-pic-arduino-starter-kit-for-arduino-uno/ Proto-PIC] (note we're not affiliated with these suppliers in any ways.)<br />
Then you can start to follow instructions on the [http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage Arduino page] or [http://www.ladyada.net/learn/arduino/ one of the many tutorial sites]. <br />
===Can you help with...?===<br />
The short answer is "maybe". Your best bet is to ask on our [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/not-just-arduino mailing list here]. <br />
Please do at least a little bit of research before asking to help us understand better your project. <br />
===Offers of collaboration===<br />
Our group gets many requests, so we recommend either to come in person to an event or post on our [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/not-just-arduino mailing list] with detailed specs of your project.<br />
===What is London Hackspace===<br />
The London Hackspace is a social space for people who like to make things: we have a workshop with woodworking and metalworking machinery, extensive electronics equipment, a lasercutter, and many other tools and devices. Additionally we are host to a large social sphere of hackers, makers, scientists and artists, and a growing number of community subgroups that cater to particular interests.<br />
We don't offer a formal training programme. However, there are lots of knowledgeable people who are often able to help and answer your queries. If you're prepared to pitch in and try things, read up on it, ask advice and be patient.<br />
The London Hackspace is entirely volunteer-run, and governed by the community.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Suggestions==<br />
<br />
*Using AVR-GCC, Make and AVRDude i.e. progamming Arduino's using C instead of being reliant upon the Arduino IDE.<br />
<br />
** There's a lovely, supported Makefile at http://ed.am/dev/make/arduino-mk (project page http://dev.ed.am/arduino-mk)<br />
<br />
*Using hardware programmers.<br />
<br />
*Graphical Programming for Arduino see "Interesting Links"<br />

<br />
==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />
<br />
==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />

==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />

<br />
==Previous/Incomplete Projects==<br />
<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />
* Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)<br />
<br />
* [[Kinect Robotic Arm]] - with 3D "Vision" - Have Arduino and Raspberry Pi control a robotic arm and have input from Microsoft Kinect's infrared depth sensor to guide the arm to pick stuff [[User:Ulisses]]<br />
<br />
* Build a simple ethernet driven relay (2x) - anyone wanting to join in is welcome, we will learn the basics as we go along [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* With basic electronic-circuit training (printing, etching, soldering), would eventually like to build a Nanode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* 1-wire iButton decode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
<br />
* Object detection - begin with RFID and then go on to explore other options with longer ranges (Kieron)<br />
<br />
* I attempted to interface a microcontroller and a timed mains outlet and let out the blue smoke - it's on my User page. [[User:TheHypnotist]]<br />
<br />

<br />
==Suggestions==<br />
<br />
*Using AVR-GCC, Make and AVRDude i.e. progamming Arduino's using C instead of being reliant upon the Arduino IDE.<br />
<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />

'''No more names please, they've all gone'''<br />
<br />
'''N.B.''' If you've not done anything with the tile after 3 months please bring it back to the space as someone else may wish to do something with it, don't just let it gather dust in a corner!<br />
<br />
== LED Specs ==<br />
<br />
The 'tile' contains the matrix of SMDs and the driver ICs and multiplexing to run but you'll need 5v dc and some kind of Pi / Arduino / Nova or Linsn Scancard to control them. <br />

== Building a LED wall ==<br />
<br />
On this Mistamud says: <br />
You'll need a card called a Scancard. (the brains found inside each and every LED panel): http://www.led-card.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=314<br />
<br />
The signal that goes into the Scancard on Cat5 cable needs to come from a Sender Card: http://www.led-card.com/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=15. The signal that goes into a Sender card is good ol' DVI from your laptop.<br />
<br />
There's also some info on the progress made with the previous screens [https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Equipment/Piccadilly_circus_LED_sign here]<br />
<br />
Michael Margolis thinks that they can be controlled by the SmartMatrix library: https://github.com/pixelmatix/SmartMatrix<br />
<br />
and Adafruit have a shield for the teensy with a connector that should(?) work with these tiles : https://www.adafruit.com/products/1902<br />
<br />
You can find his mailing list post here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/london-hack-space/Gs4_P4Je1gw/HFshYAzhEQAJ<br />
<br />
Glen Akins has some extremely good technical detail here: http://bikerglen.com/projects/lighting/led-panel-1up/<br />
<br />
== Getting Started ==<br />
<br />
Some key information and pointers for anyone getting started with a tile and a basic microcontroller like the Arduino (we used a Mega 2560), Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone etc.<br />
<br />
The OE (Output Enable) pin is misleadingly named as it's really Output Inhibit or Blanking, having to be pulled low to enable the LEDs. All other inputs are active high.<br />
<br />
The panel is organised as six row groups that are interlaced both vertically and horizontally (see illustration) to minimise flicker. Each group contains 288 pixels organised in a shift register so new data shifts along the row group in the order shown.<br />
<br />
[[File:Hackspace LED Tile addressing.png|thumbnail|48 x 36 LED Tile Addressing Scheme]]<br />
<br />
As someone has explained elsewhere the panel displays one row group at a time, so it's necessary to cycle them in equal proportions to get a full image. The row addressing performs two functions, to select the row group that's both energised and into which data will be clocked. Note that it appears that you can select a row and clock data into it, but that data is held but not transferred to the display until you toggle the latch input even if you change to a different row group. In this way it seems possible (though not yet tried) to build up in the shift register the next image to be displayed a small amount at a time to maintain a good refresh rate, and then transfer it to the display by latching.<br />
<br />
The shift register is not cleared by the latching operation so you can add to a row and latch again. To clear a row it's necessary to send 288 'black' pixels to it.<br />
<br />
A suitable ribbon cable is part CN16494 from CPC at around £3. http://cpc.farnell.com/1/1/110292-amphenol-fc16600-0-lead-2-54mm-f-f-600mm-16way.html<br />
<br />
Simple Arduino code example:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
digitalWrite(pinOE, LOW);<br />
<br />
// select first row<br />
digitalWrite(pinA, LOW);<br />
digitalWrite(pinB, LOW);<br />
digitalWrite(pinC, LOW);<br />
<br />
For(int i=0; i<288; i++)<br />
{<br />
// set high or low value for each pixel<br />
digitalWrite(pinR1, R);<br />
digitalWrite(pinG1, G);<br />
digitalWrite(pinB1, B);<br />
// pulse the clock line to move this data into the shift register<br />
digitalWrite(pinCLK, HIGH);<br />
digitalWrite(pinCLK, LOW);<br />
}<br />
<br />
// pulse the latch line to transfer the new data to the display<br />
digitalWrite(pinLAT, HIGH;<br />
digitalWrite(pinLAT, LOW);<br />
<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
The pixel writing could be made much faster using direct port operations, particularly with a port dedicated to the tile interface - one write with clock low to set the R G B values and the next holding the values with clock high - probably of the order of 50 times faster than the code above.<br />
<br />
== Test Sketch ==<br />
The following sketch supports some test routines and primitive graphic output to the matrix.<br />
Pulse durations need to be optimized, either by testing or using a logic analyzer on the actual driver boards in the space.<br />

<br />
==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />
<br />
==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />
<br />

<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />
* Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)<br />

<br />
==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />
<br />
==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />

==Previous/Incomplete Projects==<br />
<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />
* Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)<br />
<br />
* [[Kinect Robotic Arm]] - with 3D "Vision" - Have Arduino and Raspberry Pi control a robotic arm and have input from Microsoft Kinect's infrared depth sensor to guide the arm to pick stuff [[User:Ulisses]]<br />
<br />
* Build a simple ethernet driven relay (2x) - anyone wanting to join in is welcome, we will learn the basics as we go along [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* With basic electronic-circuit training (printing, etching, soldering), would eventually like to build a Nanode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* 1-wire iButton decode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
<br />
* Object detection - begin with RFID and then go on to explore other options with longer ranges (Kieron)<br />
<br />
* I attempted to interface a microcontroller and a timed mains outlet and let out the blue smoke - it's on my User page. [[User:TheHypnotist]]<br />
<br />
* Build a self-balancing robot [http://www.x-firm.com/?page_id=145 example]- anyone who wants to join is welcome (Riccardo)<br />

<br />
* [[434Mhz RTTY transmitter]] Transmits text over the air and is picked up by software defined radio, would like some help with taking it further.<br />
<br />
==Suggestions==<br />
<br />
*Using AVR-GCC, Make and AVRDude i.e. progamming Arduino's using C instead of being reliant upon the Arduino IDE.<br />
<br />
** There's a lovely, supported Makefile at http://ed.am/dev/make/arduino-mk (project page http://dev.ed.am/arduino-mk)<br />
<br />

<br />
==Previous/Incomplete Projects==<br />
<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />
* Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)<br />
<br />
* [[Kinect Robotic Arm]] - with 3D "Vision" - Have Arduino and Raspberry Pi control a robotic arm and have input from Microsoft Kinect's infrared depth sensor to guide the arm to pick stuff [[User:Ulisses]]<br />
<br />
* Build a simple ethernet driven relay (2x) - anyone wanting to join in is welcome, we will learn the basics as we go along [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* With basic electronic-circuit training (printing, etching, soldering), would eventually like to build a Nanode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* 1-wire iButton decode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
<br />
* Object detection - begin with RFID and then go on to explore other options with longer ranges (Kieron)<br />
<br />
* I attempted to interface a microcontroller and a timed mains outlet and let out the blue smoke - it's on my User page. [[User:TheHypnotist]]<br />
<br />
* Build a self-balancing robot [http://www.x-firm.com/?page_id=145 example]- anyone who wants to join is welcome (Riccardo)<br />

<br />
==Suggestions==<br />
<br />
*Using AVR-GCC, Make and AVRDude i.e. progamming Arduino's using C instead of being reliant upon the Arduino IDE.<br />
<br />
** There's a lovely, supported Makefile at http://ed.am/dev/make/arduino-mk (project page http://dev.ed.am/arduino-mk)<br />
<br />
*Using hardware programmers.<br />
<br />
*Graphical Programming for Arduino see "Interesting Links"<br />

The plan was to build on the energy and projects started at the Mozilla Festival and for participants to show what they've done or get involved in exciting projects. <br />
During our meet-up we had great chats and presentations, notably by Peter Ross from the Micro-donations website Flattr and SamTheTechie showed us on the screen how the anti-kettling mobile app Sukey works and what are the next planned updates.<br />
Other presentations by Morris of his Hypnosis experiences and Valeria on the Femme Fatale event.<br />
<br />
As for "building on the momentum" we already have one meetup schedule '''next Monday 21th Nov at 6.30pm''' at Hackspace on the open source software Webcam Studio.<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />
<br />
==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />
<br />
==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />
<br />

<br />
==Previous/Incomplete Projects==<br />
<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />

<br />
==Suggestions==<br />
<br />
*Using AVR-GCC, Make and AVRDude i.e. progamming Arduino's using C instead of being reliant upon the Arduino IDE.<br />
<br />
** There's a lovely, supported Makefile at http://ed.am/dev/make/arduino-mk (project page http://dev.ed.am/arduino-mk)<br />
<br />
*Using hardware programmers.<br />
<br />
*Graphical Programming for Arduino see "Interesting Links"<br />
<br />

<br />
== What are we doing with it? == <br />
<br />
The space is likely to keep the frame and controller/PSU, and maybe a few extra screens depending on final decision.<br />
<br />
== Project maintainers == <br />
<br />
* Elisabeth Anderson<br />
* .....<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tiles for members == <br />
<br />
The space keeps the frame and controller, plus possibly a few extra screens (decision tbc), which would leave about 40 for members.<br />

== LED Specs ==<br />
<br />
The 'tile' contains the matrix of SMDs and the driver ICs and multiplexing to run but you'll need 5v dc and some kind of Pi / Arduino / Nova or Linsn Scancard to control them. <br />

You'll need a card called a Scancard. (the brains found inside each and every LED panel): http://www.led-card.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=314<br />
<br />
The signal that goes into the Scancard on Cat5 cable needs to come from a Sender Card: http://www.led-card.com/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=15. The signal that goes into a Sender card is good ol' DVI from your laptop.<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />

==Previous/Incomplete Projects==<br />
<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />
* Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)<br />
<br />
* [[Kinect Robotic Arm]] - with 3D "Vision" - Have Arduino and Raspberry Pi control a robotic arm and have input from Microsoft Kinect's infrared depth sensor to guide the arm to pick stuff [[User:Ulisses]]<br />
<br />
* Build a simple ethernet driven relay (2x) - anyone wanting to join in is welcome, we will learn the basics as we go along [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* With basic electronic-circuit training (printing, etching, soldering), would eventually like to build a Nanode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* 1-wire iButton decode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
<br />
* Object detection - begin with RFID and then go on to explore other options with longer ranges (Kieron)<br />
<br />
* I attempted to interface a microcontroller and a timed mains outlet and let out the blue smoke - it's on my User page. [[User:TheHypnotist]]<br />

[[File:LED tiles.jpg|200px|thumb|right|LED tile]]<br />
<br />
== What is it ==<br />
<br />
* Frame containing 6 LED tiles<br />
[[File:LED_Frame.jpg|200px]]<br />
* Controller/PSU "Infiled"<br />
[[File:LED-Infiled.jpg|200px]]<br />
* 46 individual LED tiles<br />
<br />
== What are we doing with it? == <br />
<br />
The space is likely to keep the frame and controller/PSU, and maybe a few extra screens depending on final decision.<br />
<br />
== Project maintainers == <br />
<br />
Please add your name here<br />
<br />
== Tiles for members == <br />
<br />
The space keeps the frame and controller, plus possibly a few extra screens (decision tbc), which would leave about 40 for members.<br />
Register you interest (before 16th Jan) and keep an eye on the mailing list for update on when the tiles are ready to collect.<br />

The signal that goes into the Scancard on Cat5 cable needs to come from a Sender Card: http://www.led-card.com/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=15. The signal that goes into a Sender card is good ol' DVI from your laptop.<br />

<br />
* Frame containing 6 LED tiles<br />

* Controller/PSU "Infiled"<br />
[[File:LED-Infiled.jpg|200px]]<br />
* 46 individual LED tiles<br />
<br />
== What are we doing with it? == <br />
<br />
The space is likely to keep the frame and controller/PSU, and maybe a few extra screens depending on final decision.<br />
<br />
== Project maintainers == <br />
<br />
Please add your name here<br />
<br />
== Tiles for members == <br />
<br />
The space keeps the frame and controller, plus possibly a few extra screens (decision tbc), which would leave about 40 for members.<br />
Register you interest (before 16th Jan) and keep an eye on the mailing list for update on when the tiles are ready to collect.<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />
<br />
==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />

<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />

<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />
* Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)<br />
<br />
* [[Kinect Robotic Arm]] - with 3D "Vision" - Have Arduino and Raspberry Pi control a robotic arm and have input from Microsoft Kinect's infrared depth sensor to guide the arm to pick stuff [[User:Ulisses]]<br />
<br />
* Build a simple ethernet driven relay (2x) - anyone wanting to join in is welcome, we will learn the basics as we go along [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* With basic electronic-circuit training (printing, etching, soldering), would eventually like to build a Nanode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* 1-wire iButton decode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
<br />
* Object detection - begin with RFID and then go on to explore other options with longer ranges (Kieron)<br />
<br />
* I attempted to interface a microcontroller and a timed mains outlet and let out the blue smoke - it's on my User page. [[User:TheHypnotist]]<br />
<br />
* Build a self-balancing robot [http://www.x-firm.com/?page_id=145 example]- anyone who wants to join is welcome (Riccardo)<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />

==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />

==Previous/Incomplete Projects==<br />
<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />
* Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)<br />
<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />
<br />
==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />

==Previous/Incomplete Projects==<br />
<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />
* Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)<br />
<br />
* [[Kinect Robotic Arm]] - with 3D "Vision" - Have Arduino and Raspberry Pi control a robotic arm and have input from Microsoft Kinect's infrared depth sensor to guide the arm to pick stuff [[User:Ulisses]]<br />
<br />
* Build a simple ethernet driven relay (2x) - anyone wanting to join in is welcome, we will learn the basics as we go along [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* With basic electronic-circuit training (printing, etching, soldering), would eventually like to build a Nanode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* 1-wire iButton decode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
<br />
* Object detection - begin with RFID and then go on to explore other options with longer ranges (Kieron)<br />
<br />
* I attempted to interface a microcontroller and a timed mains outlet and let out the blue smoke - it's on my User page. [[User:TheHypnotist]]<br />
<br />
* Build a self-balancing robot [http://www.x-firm.com/?page_id=145 example]- anyone who wants to join is welcome (Riccardo)<br />

<br />
* [[434Mhz RTTY transmitter]] Transmits text over the air and is picked up by software defined radio, would like some help with taking it further.<br />
<br />
==Suggestions==<br />
<br />
*Using AVR-GCC, Make and AVRDude i.e. progamming Arduino's using C instead of being reliant upon the Arduino IDE.<br />
<br />
** There's a lovely, supported Makefile at http://ed.am/dev/make/arduino-mk (project page http://dev.ed.am/arduino-mk)<br />
<br />
*Using hardware programmers.<br />

==Common Project==<br />
Common Project is a new idea to give more space to the attenders and involve them into a specific project.<br />
These projects can be something very simple to help people understand what Arduino can do or whatever they think is more important to learn.<br />
The idea is to decide one Common project at the NJA meetup, split it in different group and then in the end of the day ( or deadline ), try to merge everything in one block of code!<br />
<br />
<br />
Current project: <br />
<br />
Past projects: [[Common Project - Xmas 2013]]<br />
<br />
==Talks==<br />
Our members would like to hear about [[Not Just Arduino-talks| these topics]]. If you want to come talk to the group or if you are just interested into attending a session please add your name on [[Not Just Arduino-talks|the page]]. So far we have 2 speakers who volunteered on Accelerometers and Low-level ATMEGA overview.<br />
<br />

==Members Projects==<br />
<br />
Please list here your projects using micro-controllers here (if you're project is listed here, please update the status and info!)<br />
<br />
* [[Laser tag game]] - A multiplayer game of laser tag, utilising infra red transmitters and receivers (think TV remote control), water pistols (gutted and internals replaced with electronics...and lasers.)<br />
* [[LEDLightCubeFamily]] - A set of 3 (or more) LED driven light cubes that communicate over RF, respond to sound/music and can adjust their colour via accelerometer driven tilt. --[[User:Bradwood|Bradwood]] ([[User talk:Bradwood|talk]])<br />
<br />
==Previous/Incomplete Projects==<br />
<br />
'''''Please clean up this section -- move your active projects under the above heading or delete those no longer relevant.'''''<br />
<br />
* Harry Potter Clock - A christmas gift for my girlfriend, uses Arduino, Raspberry Pi and a USB modem to 'magically' point to where I am. It's finished now but I wrote up my experiences and the design of it [http://www.alastairbarber.com/index.php?post=harry-potter-weasley-clock on my website] if anyone's interested in reading about it and learning from my mistakes! (Alastair)<br />
<br />
* Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)<br />
<br />
* [[Kinect Robotic Arm]] - with 3D "Vision" - Have Arduino and Raspberry Pi control a robotic arm and have input from Microsoft Kinect's infrared depth sensor to guide the arm to pick stuff [[User:Ulisses]]<br />
<br />
* Build a simple ethernet driven relay (2x) - anyone wanting to join in is welcome, we will learn the basics as we go along [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* With basic electronic-circuit training (printing, etching, soldering), would eventually like to build a Nanode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
* 1-wire iButton decode [[User:Dariomolinari]]<br />
<br />
* Object detection - begin with RFID and then go on to explore other options with longer ranges (Kieron)<br />
<br />
* I attempted to interface a microcontroller and a timed mains outlet and let out the blue smoke - it's on my User page. [[User:TheHypnotist]]<br />
<br />
* Build a self-balancing robot [http://www.x-firm.com/?page_id=145 example]- anyone who wants to join is welcome (Riccardo)<br />
<br />
* Motion-sensing greeting bot (brendan)<br />
<br />
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mXM-oGggrM LED cube controller] (brendan)<br />
<br />
* remote-controlled hot air balloon/zeppelin (Qpnaosc)<br />
<br />
* Skype LED board status notifier [[User:Marcbarto| (Marc)]]<br />
* [[RFID Reader Writer|RFID Reader & Writer]] : RFID module Kit 13.56 Mhz SPI Write and Read For Arduino [[User:NecatiOS| (Necati )]]<br />
<br />
* [[434Mhz RTTY transmitter]] Transmits text over the air and is picked up by software defined radio, would like some help with taking it further.<br />
<br />
==Suggestions==<br />
<br />
*Using AVR-GCC, Make and AVRDude i.e. progamming Arduino's using C instead of being reliant upon the Arduino IDE.<br />
<br />
** There's a lovely, supported Makefile at http://ed.am/dev/make/arduino-mk (project page http://dev.ed.am/arduino-mk)<br />
<br />
*Using hardware programmers.<br />
<br />
*Graphical Programming for Arduino see "Interesting Links"<br />
<br />
