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.

En route to Liverpool for @lpoolmakefest multi stage trip, stage 1 completed! Looking forward to meeting folks and talking @forgeandcraft #plotterart this weekend #maker

Had this thought recently as I've been battling with insecurities #maker#robot

4 down, 11 to go, and my charm box is almost full already... Anyone know where to get a crown royal bag in these trying times? #maker#LaserCut

Woohoo, 3D-native LED animations! 🙆

Made with unreleased version of https://blinksy.dev, a Rust LED library for embedded micros. 🟥 🟩 🟦

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!

(What do you mean "No, because you forgot to share it before")

Jamming everything inside was a little tight. Maybe I'll rebuild it and see if I can get things to fit better. #Arduino#ESP32 #electronics #maker

The box is the same form factor as the temperature controller I slapped together at Christmas. The back panel is nearly the same, but the cord socket has a built-in switch & fuse. #Arduino#ESP32 #electronics #maker

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!

Of course by the time I almost got it working the temperatures were already within 5 degrees. #Pushover#Arduino#ESP32 #electronics #maker

Time to cobble together a quick & dirty Python script that can monitor the outdoor temperature and the indoor temperature and when the difference reaches 5 degrees have it send a #Pushover notification to my phone to turn off the whole house fan. #Arduino#ESP32 #electronics #maker
