  • 1 gausie (1, £18)
  • 1 Solexious - Charles Yarnold - charlesyarnold@gmail.com - Can pay immediately

The kit contains the pcb and all comonents needed to build the standard version 5 "Hackspace" Nanode.

Nanode Weekends

These can be offered at the space or other location to coincide with the arrival of a batch of kits.

A typical workshop programme would be as follows:

09:30 Coffee/Tea and meet with fellow coursemates

10:00 Introducing Nanode - Ken Boak

10:00 Introduction to open source hardware - behind the scenes at the Nanode Project

11:00 Build session 1.0

13:00 Pizza and Beer

14:00 Build Session 2.0

15:00 Nanode Applications - Smart Sensors, remote monitoring and control - Sam Carlisle

15:30 "Tinkering Time" - Nanode Applications

17:00 General Discussion, Q&A, debrief, open mike session

18:00 End of session - Relax and socialise

After 18:00 the course will continue informally until everyone wants to go home.


Timings will vary according to the pace on the day.

The workshop will be informal and anyone can feel free to offer comment, suggestion and ask questions. The only aim is to have you all experts in something by the end of the day.

I'm hoping that some folks will document to wiki, blog, record, tweet and generally share and divulge the proceedings of the weekend.

Sam Carlisle will run a parallel thread focusing on more in-depth Nanode Applications for anyone who completes the build early or wishes to gain a better understanding of the web interfaces and software.

Nanode kits can be bought on the day priced £18 to members and £20 to non-hackspace members.

Update 2-6-2011

This pledge is now closed.

The 100 kits distributed through the London Hackspace have now been sold - in fact we are 25% oversubscribed.

Further Nanode Kits can be obtained at a price of £18/£20 + £2 P+P from Ken Boak.

Please contact @monsonite on Twitter for further details.


Order Progress

Version 5 Nanode - Lower side of pcb

100 pcbs have now been ordered. Now confirmed for delivery on June 1st.

100 sets of Ethernet "Magjack" connectors ordered and now at Cremer St. (Thanks to Martin Klang for rescuing these from the "Special Delivery" nightmare).

100 sets of ICs and USB connectors ordered from Farnell - these being delivered to Ken's place of work - because of high value.

The remainder of low value components, resistors, capacitors, crystals, solder etc have just arrived from Rapid Electronics.

Nanode Build Weekend

If you intend to come along to the first of the Nanode build weekends on 4th/5th June - in order that we have some idea of numbers please add your name to this list under the day(s) you will come along. You are welcome to come on both days - space providing.

Tea, coffee, soft drinks will be available. For lunch the intention is to send out for pizza.


Warning

Please be sure that you know what you're buying!

  • Construction/soldering required
  • Access to a FTDI cable is required for programming the Nanode. You'll be using this frequently so it's best to have your own. - This may not be needed now - Ken is trying to fit a USB port onboard.
  • Access to an AVR programmer or another Arduino is required to burn the bootloader - you should only need to do this when you first construct the board. We have a suitable programmer at the space.
