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

why?

  • huge interest on this subject in the LHS community (see workshop proposals and mailing list threads)


what for?

  • Building an active user group around Arduino and micro-controllers
  • Organise workshops and talks where we can all share and learn skills
  • Regular meetings (bi-monthly?) where we can bring our projects demo them and / or get help

Events

1st Event Friday 5th October 7PM

http://piratepad.net/zQNsoFiLFy



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:

but please add here suggestions.

Interesting Links

Add your links here with a small description.
