Announcing a makers calendar for the uk.

https://parsecsreach.org/makers_calendar_uk/

If you run an event for makers in the uk please let me know. At the moment I don't really care how you let me know, replies to this are fine, but ideally issues on the github repo here: https://github.com/emilyselwood/makers_calendar_uk or even pull requests if you feel up to it. (you can do them through the github web interface, no need to even clone it)

I've added @MakersHour and my local repair cafe to get started.

Woohoo, 3D-native LED animations! 馃檰

Made with unreleased version of https://blinksy.dev, a Rust LED library for embedded micros. 馃煡 馃煩 馃煢

A glowing LED cube displays colors flowing over its faces. The cube is sitting in a stand made from grid beam. A person turns the stand around and around, showing the cube from all sides, while the colors continue to flow around seamlessly. Ambient music plays in the background.

Also have you seen this neat little #OpenSCAD program that you give it a list of screw hole locations and it automatically generates a 3D printable PCB mounting frame baseplate with standoffs? It's really slick!

Got my little "fan controller" built. It's just an ESP32 with a relay board controlling a couple of outlets. It subscribes to MQTT and receives commands and sends status. Buttons to toggle outlet state, LEDs above buttons to indicate state. LEDs along right are power, WiFi connected, MQTT connected.

Just before bed slapped together Python script that runs on my server to monitor bedroom temp and outdoor temp and keep room comfortable without A/C. It worked!
