Revision as of 22:15, 5 October 2012
Hi there, this is a rough first draft for the "Not Just Arduino" wiki.
New name was decided for the group during the 1st event.
Feel free to add all relevant info to this page.
contact: Marc or related mailing list thread
Pirate pad form the 1st meeting: http://piratepad.net/zQNsoFiLFy
Summary
- Building an active user group around Arduino and micro-controllers
- Organise workshops and talks where we can all share and learn skills
- Bi-monthly events where we can bring our projects demo them and / or get help
Events
Read the report on our 1st Event
Friday 5th October 7PM - 19 participants
Note: do not edit the pirate-pad, edit this wiki directly!
Training
Training will be determined by the needs of the user group meetings. Members of our group will offer mentoring, though we might find some kind of trade system (skill-share, beers, travel-cost...). We need to be able to provide a mentor during sessions to help those who have difficulty getting off the ground - without tying the mentors up too much. Beginners will help each other and when progress will take over some part of the training.
Each project should be listed here, to source help and document what they have done/learned: if not documented directly it does not exist.
Mentors (tbc)
- Mentar
- Morris - TheHypnotist
- Nneil
- add your name here!
Projects
Please list here your projects using micro-controllers here
- Weather Station - to feed into openweather map and cosm (Deanforbes)
- Sousvide Water Bath - Precision water heater using PID controller (Deanforbes)
- Robotic Arm with Kinect 3D "Vision" - Have arduino control a robotic arm and have input from Microsoft Kinect's infrared depth sensor to guide the arm to pick stuff (Ulisses)
- Build a simple ethernet driven relay (2x) - anyone wanting to join in is welcome, we will learn the basics as we go along (Dario)
- With basic electronic-circuit training (printing, etching, soldering), would eventually like to build a Nanode (Dario)
Suggestions
- Using AVR-GCC, Make and AVRDude i.e. progamming Arduino's using C instead of being reliant upon the Arduino IDE.
- Using hardware programmers.
- Graphical Programming for Arduino see "Interesting Links" below
Recommended Reading
The Hackspace library has some decent Arduino books:
- Arduino Cookbook
- Beginning Arduino
- Arduino Playground
- Ladyada Arduino
etc...
but please add here suggestions.
Interesting Links
Add your links here with a small description.
Graphical Programming for Arduino
