Robots and Dinosaurs

At it again with tinkering on the weekend. Some highlights:

• We made some ferrofluid demonstration cells and gave them away
• Set up a MythTV box, which will come in handy for our movie nights.
• Bec’s project of welding up some brackets for a planter
• Troubleshooting a Behemoth of an  Oscilloscope, kindly donated by Kean

Introducing a new category here on the blog, Member’s Projects. We’d like to show off some of the things people are making, taking apart, remaking or whatever! Our first project is by Adam Synnott, and is called ‘Light Interrupted’. It was recently featured in ‘Serial Space’ in Chippendale.

Another get together this Saturday. Some highlights

• Chris gave his buffer overflow presentation, with demonstration code
• Max did some experiments in underwater propulsion
• Some tinkering with the R&D Robotic Jugband, the bellls work now!
• Playing with high voltage Nixie bargraphs
• 3D printing again

We just had another Saturday get together in the space. Loads of people arrived and participated. It’s starting to get crowded in there!

• MakerBot 3D printing
• The Robots and Dinosaurs Jugband
• Tinkering with some servers and Xboxes
• High voltage photography
• Space maintenance
• and a few other things
