Thousands of people made their way through Leeds last week to witness the spectacular installations for #LightNightLeeds2022. Thank you to the organisers, sponsors and volunteers that made the night a success! We loved being a part of it. @LightNightLeeds bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

@EmmaMBearman @LightNightLeeds Brilliant chat, tasty lunch, bright busy light night! See you later @EmmaMBearman 👾

Great to catch up with you @DefProc and hear more about what you’ve been up to & your amazing Civic Hall @LightNightLeeds interactive game. Will be in tomorrow night to come play! (Hopefully the kids will come too)

What a fantastic evening at #leedslightnight2022! 🤩 💪 Ready for round two tonight? 📌 Find LUX outside the Leeds Civic Hall from 7pm. We had a technical issue yesterday which delayed our start time, so apologies to anyone who came down earlier! @LightNightLeeds @millsqleeds

🎮 LUX RETURNS 🎮 📅 Thurs 13th & Fri 14th October 📌 Leeds Civic Hall, Millennium Square #LightNightLeeds2022 #Artinthedark #PlayfulCity @lightnightleeds @FocalStudiosLtd 🔗 Learn more: lightnightleeds.co.uk/zones/millenni…

Final checks for the LUX controller ✅ The controller uses ultrasound sensors to detect hand movements, allowing for contactless gameplay! 📌 Find LUX outside the Leeds Civic Hall on Thursday and Friday evening. @LightNightLeeds #LightNightLeeds2022 #artinthedark #playfulcity

⭐️ New office addition ⭐️ The #Prusa Mini+ 3D printer! As well as having a colour LCD screen that lets you preview your models before printing, it has all the same functions as our Original Prusa i3 MK3S printer. However, it differs slightly in its extrusion system 👇 Thread 🧵

New office tech 👇 The #RaspberryPi #PicoW is the latest member of the @Raspberry_Pi Pico family⭐️ Built around the #RP2040 chip, it is a low-cost #microcontroller board with added #WiFi, which is ideal if you want to use it for an #IoT device.

We had a fantastic day at #LivMF22 showcasing @MadeInvaders. It’s always a privilege to be a part of this event, and it wouldn’t happen without the amazing volunteers that run @LpoolMakeFest every year 👏 We’ll be highlighting some of our favourite makers later in the week👀

@DefProcEng @MadeInvaders The best bit is the @arduino Mega from @oomlout that was only being used for the voltage regulator. But we've moved to modern 5V USB supply now!

We finally said goodbye to the #breadboards that have been supporting @MadeInvaders over the years and gave it a shiny new upgrade ✨ It’s been six years since Made Invaders made its debut at #MakerFaire Newcastle, and it’s still going strong! #feather #arduino

@ProfFalken @emfcamp @MadeInvaders @matthewvenn @oomlout Hmm... And in sunlight. Something mechanical then. I'd go for split-flap, flit dot or mechanical 7-segment. Or slide a painted board into a holder!

@DefProc @emfcamp @MadeInvaders @matthewvenn @oomlout Ideally each digit needs to be about 250 - 300mm high - need to be able to see the board at the boundary from the centre of the pitch even when eyesight is poor, and on our second pitch that's about 35m

If anyone heading for @emfcamp happens to have built their own scoreboard and made the designs #OpenSource I'd love to talk to them, especially if it's a #Cricket scoreboard!

Who could say "no" to inviting such a cute elder god to join their reality! #chuthulu #miniatures #warhammer #warhammer40k instagram.com/p/CaLQQJIMJ5h/…

@VM8RA Thanks 👍 Not recently, I seem to have bought mostly Vallejo paints since then! The models up if you have a printer thingiverse.com/thing:4418593 or you know someone that does

@DefProc you still making those funnel holders for transferring paint to dropper bottles? I seen on an old fauxhammer article, looked cool.

@SayBeano High CO2 typically means too little ventilation for the number of people in the room, so we adjust the Aircon to bring the levels back down - ideally below 500ppm

@SayBeano We do CO2 monitoring in the office via LoRaWAN, at the minute we do collection and alerting, but you could add triggering

It's ok for both things to exist

The latest edition of @HackSpaceMag reminded me of the exhibition our director @defproc worked on with @DoESLiverpool @amcewen @cheapjack 🦾 Displayed at @FACT_Liverpool, we installed a production line for prosthetic hands using #3Dprinting 🙌 🔗 fact.co.uk/artwork/deskto…
