South West Makers

Hi,

Looking around at a few sites today and this one came up.

https://www.circuito.io/

It allows you to prototype circuits using the arduino and even give you sample code to use after you followed the instructions to wire up your real arduino.

Just found this on amazon.

Not sure how good it is but the price is right at $0

Thanks for those great sites.

You may or may not know, but we have a wiki and I've started a reading list page at http://wiki.swmakers.org/index.php?title=Reading_list

Feel free to add and subract from the list there as needed.

What is in everyone's regular reading list? Where do you go when you want some maker news?

Hi All, After a couple of years of the default theme for PHPBB I finally got around to changing the theme. I hope you like the new clean look. I also loaded one of my submissions for a logo design in the header to brand our space. I'm hoping that maybe we could come up with some logo ideas and share...

So I understand our funding is running out at the end of this year.

This prompts me to wonder what we will be doing next year and what our options for meeting might be?

This is just so cool. Great work Paul!!

Harvested an SLA battery from a failed UPS this week. Hopefully the battery is ok. Ordered the panel sockets from EBay for $18 and have sourced a battery charger which I will buy later I have an Ammo tin from my Geocaching days. Now just have to wait the weeks it takes to ship stuff from China. Hope...

Yes looks very permanent. Once you design it into a box it might be a little hard/impossible to remove.

Always in need of more power, I've decided to give this project a go from instructables.

Its a simple project but could be really useful for the iThings

Great write up Paul, it looks like you're coming along nicely

Might need to work on some shade for a summer deployment.

looking good Paul.

possibly a hammer looking for a nail

just like everything I think about can be fixed with a 3d printer

Definitely looks like a much more professional job.

Well done Paul

Its quite amazing what information you can get when you have a good look around

Having said that, This is what I do have.

See if you can use that.

Thanks Bejay,

but we haven;t really decided on the logo as yet . Maybe something we should finally get done soon.

It's been great watching this project from the beginning until now. Great work Paul.

Seems you've picked up a good project Dylan.

Will be great to see the progress on Saturday.

Too cool!!
