Projects

In my head

• Caller ID -> Google lookup - Phone rings with unknown number, number looked up in Google, tells you who is calling.
• Home made vacuum former
• Convert the IR code database from LIRC to the format used by the iTach - should be easy but I haven't got around to it.
• Making a scale railway crossing barrier for my young train obsessed nephew - mechanical advice needed!
• Ballbot remake - sourcing the omni-wheels is a problem - they are very cool wheels - almost the entire circumference rotates perpendicularly to the main axis of rotation.

In progress

Spacensus people counter In situe

• spacensus - Measuring the occupancy of the hackspace.
• Candela - A Java API for controlling home lighting systems - initially those made by Rako.

Actually got around to finishing

• ircensus - Measuring the activity of our IRC channel.
• Graphing the London Hackspace Community.
• Laser cut Arduino enclosures for the standard board, and with the ethernet shield:

• 

• Making some kind of LED flashy christmas cubaubles with the laser cutter (on Thingiverse)

Flashy things will go inside

• Constructing an LED tape light fitting using insanely bright LEDs:

• Constructing a ventilation system for my home AV cabinet (just an IKEA Bonde sideboard)
