Million Dollar Idea (Product Development Engineer Needed, Paid Work)

by drew.d.cohen＠gmail.com

Hello! I am looking for a freelance product development engineer who has experience working with IOT, microcontrollers, and custom circuitry. The project is an accessory for a musical instrument that is going to be scaled up and linked together for a large band of 100-200 instruments. There are prototypes that are about ~80% of the way finished, but we need another person with experience to really dial it in now. This is paid work, and we anticipate the project lasting between 1-3 months, but maybe less. The end product is going to be relatively high end for a professional band, so we really are looking for an engineer with experience, not your homie who likes to tinker with things. Let me know if you are interested, or if you know someone who may fit the bill, thanks! Regards, Andrew 415-297-2535 (text is fine) P.S. This is my first time posting here, so let me know if there's a better list for this kind of thing, thanks!

Buying parts near Oakland

by Matt Pope

Hi All, I'm looking for a good selection of electronics parts (wire, relays, breadboards, soldering supplies, enclosures, etc) to take an Arduino project from prototype to something that can be moved around without falling apart. Anyhow, are there any local options for buying parts or do I have to go online? Jameco looks great but is a bit far. Maybe Fry's? Anything else closer and maybe more local? Thanks in advance for any info. Matt

Sudouino328 PCB Design

by Hol Gaskill

Hi Folks, Almost done w/ PCB design. That's an ATMega328p processor and a ULN2003 for power output up to 3.5 amps out of the box. Still need to add some connectors for I2C and 12V, 5V. I usually use SAE connectors http://www.vetco.net/catalog/images/G-QD-10-2.jpg for my 12V loads but we could solder on a barrel jack, or just ship it with holes for DIY soldering of connectors. Suggestions? Cheers, Hol

call for ideas on building a microcontroller teaching/learning/making community

by Hol Gaskill

Hi folks, I have decided to suspend uC night at sudo room. The energy that we had at the first few meetups and the interest that was generated in the following months with new people coming in to see what it was all about just didn't translate into a community. I know a big part of this is due to me not making much of an effort outside of the limited slot of time allotted, specifically on documenting projects and following through with progress and results. Also, alot of time at the meetups wound up being spent on hardware in support of said projects, distracting from the theme. So I'm asking y'all for input based on your diverse experiences with various hackathons, meetups, discussions, repositiories, etc. I want to build a community around this but am not really sure where to start. Some ideas: -sudo room branded kits -scheduling highlighted activities for each session - tutorials, discussions, product brainstorming, all hands on deck production runs -more than zero documentation -diversifying channels of outreach -joint meetups with other groups -asynchronous meetups for specific, multidisciplinary projects. I want to re-tool and keep rolling with this. Please share your thoughts! Thank you, Hol

LED art - October first friday

by Hol Gaskill

Rabbit and I have been working with addressable LED strip for a burning man project, and will have a pretty wicked setup all troubleshot and looking for ontime. I think it would be nice to set up a highly visible LED installation that responds to noise similar to the one below: http://newamericanpublicart.tumblr.com/post/40374275406/listener-an-outdoor… We are running ours off a beaglebone black http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBone%20Black Using open pixel control http://openpixelcontrol.org/ and some software that rabbit wrote is generating the visuals as tested last night at uC hack night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgP15zYd7R4 happy hacking, hol

Re: [Controllers] [sudo-discuss] Inner door lock not working. Let's fix it!

by Hol Gaskill

That's awesome - I'd love to see the code. That should give plenty of time to make some progress before the intro to control session begins - i have misc pin headers, etc as needed. whether we go directly from the rpi to the stepper motor driver or if we go through the MSP430 we can build a nice wiring harness and enclosure. There are a few project boxes floating around - if we use a small one, then the big one I brought in can still be used for the front door whenever we get around to it. fertilegrounds++ Jul 30, 2013 10:19:18 AM, vallebo(a)gmail.com wrote: I'll be coming to MCH tonight as well; Ian and I have been slowly transplanting the inner door access and the grounds are now fertile to completely remove the TI board and run it over the Py instead. >I won't arrive until around maybe 7 or 8pm.

Inner door lock not working. Let's fix it!

by Jenny Ryan

Hi all! Our lovely sudoor access system is currently broken. Things look okay from the server side, so it's likely a hardware issue. Granted, the whole thing is a bit janky, so I think it's finally time to upgrade to sudoor v2. I'd like to fix it, but don't have experience, so I thought I'd come to Microcontroller Hacking Night<https://sudoroom.org/ai1ec_event/microcontroller-hack-night/?instance_id=65…>tomorrow and see what I can do. If anyone owns or could suggest where to procure the following, that'd be rad!: - thin and thick wire mounting materials - male pinheaders to secure wires to the breadboard - a case for the t1 microcontroller, and screws to mount it to the wall - definitely some soldering to be done as well [we have the tools and material for this at least] Jenny http://jennyryan.net http://thepyre.org http://thevirtualcampfire.org http://technomadic.tumblr.com `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~` "Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories." -Laurie Anderson "Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it." -Hannah Arendt "To define is to kill.
