We’ll be holding a second hackathon 2:00pm-9:00pm Saturday February 6th. A couple projects we’ll be working on are our big near space balloon event and some beer brewing and bottling. As always bring your projects, bring your Arduinos, and bring your excitement!
We’ll be holding it at Jay’s house again, if you’re interested in attending and did not come last time, please contact info@workshop88.com for the address.
Let us know if you’re coming and discuss potential projects on the forum post.
As part of our first public meeting this Monday, we handed out a bunch of :CueCats to everyone who attended, along with a challenge: tinker with them, see if you can get them to do something fun, and share it with everybody at the next meeting.
I’m planning on using mine to build a handheld barcode scanner based on an Arduino and the touch screen from a Nintendo DS that stopped working a while back. It may be a bit ambitious, so I’ll probably need help along the way. I thought it might be helpful for others to see what I’m doing in case they get stuck in their own projects. The Arduino is in the mail, but while I wait on that, here’s the progress so far.
