Still keeping busy
Once again, it's been a busy few weeks up in Nerd Towers.
As well as seeing the launch of the usb-multiple servo board via BotBuilder, work continues apace with the ScoreSure Golf Pro game scoring device.
On top of all this an exciting new group has started down here on the sunny south coast - BuildBrighton. It's where a load of like-minded nerdy guys and gals get together and make stuff, using bits and bobs salvaged from all kinds of disused electronic equipment.
Last night was a good meeting - even though a few of the regular faces were missing, there were some really interesting people down there, working on some brilliant ideas. For example, Dangerous Dave was demonstrating his Wii-controlled wheelchair (like Stephen Hawking on speed), Tom spent no time at all ripping up some micro-cameras for his Arduino-based robot, and there was even talk of building a video-enabled weather balloon in the coming weeks!
For the group, I've also put together some videos demonstrating the power and simplicity of ExpressPCB, first covered in an earlier post here. Quite a few members of the BuildBrighton group are quite keen to get their ideas off the breadboard stage and build their own PCBs. ExpressPCB is an excellent tool to use to do just this.
More videos will be posted here as time allows....
