Arduino day at the Maker Space

The Maker Space packed with people

Today we acked the Maker Space with 14 people. We had a range of people from new to arduino, to quite expeienced (thinking of Alistair and Tony). After the reorganisation of the space by Alistair and I yesterday, their is room for ten to comfortably do some coding and work, which is a great improvement!

Projects being worked on (amongst others) are using

  • a GPRS shield
  • 433mhz transmitters
  • a 2 wheel robot
  • lasers to make a laser game
