  • November: basic electronics work
  • October has seen some robots kit assembly
  • In September we are working on a "mobile radio distributed speaker sound system".
  • September 26 was the last update to our building log. We had activity every day, until we have our hackerspace up and running. "Floor has been polished with metal brushes. Not cleanroom quality, but definitely good. Walls have gotten a coat of white paint on them."

[edit] Projects

We initiate projects now and then, as a group. We want to tinker to learn.

  • September 2008 - Sound system - aborted (we learnt: projects should not be too ambitious)
  • October 2008 - Jukebox - in planning
  • December 2008 - IR playground we are understanding and playing with infrared light.
