Norwich Hackspace

Did you know you share 60% of your DNA with a banana?🍌 Come to the Discovery Zone @norfolkshow and find out what its like to be a real scientist with @LittlestoryCo Extract DNA from strawberries & bananas in this opportunity to discover more about DNA🧬 norwichsciencefestival.co.uk

If you are wondering if our website displays on a 20 year old Windows CE 5.0 "laptop".... Yes. Yes it does.

One of tonight's Norwich Hackspace project was a simple #arduino powered scales. We have some laser cutter templates and code guides if you fancy making one yourself next week! (Bring an elastic band.)

Replaced the flaking faux leather on an old set of headphones with a pair of socks. They still work great and it was an easy fix.

If anyone needs a free WiFi hub, it doesn't matter if you connect these routers directly to the phone line, they can still be used. Ideally ISP's would stop supplying routers automatically, or at least supply them unlockable.

@Raspberry_Pi If you any left you need to shift, give some to @PerczUK so we can distribute to members in a RPi mini-jam event in Norwich UK? 😉

Last day at #ew2022 in Nuremberg, and we’re still handing out microcontrollers like sweeties. Stop by our stand in Hall 4A, booth 101 to grab one before we run out!

Being a Monday, the front door is open. Feel free to pop in, grab a coffee, sniff some solder fumes and munch a bit of sawdust.

@thethingsntwrk in use. Handy for long range Arduino communication stuff.

@Gadgetoid By some... You mean ALL right?

Someone brought this in today. Any suggestions to what we should hack it? 🤔 And yes, the highest units setting on it is now much lower than today's average rate. 😨

This gives us so many new project ideas. 😍

Our front door is open. Just saying. #Mondays And yes that is a lead acid door stop.

Woodworking woes - how was this screw even manufactured? Genuine question.

These next to landmarks and shops should be a Norwich quirk, if it's not something we just haven't noticed. 😍 @NorwichBIDUK?

Fantastic member project!

@Gadgetoid Not really our thing, but we have members (@marionofnorwich) involved in the bis so will pass on. Have you tried @krowgroup in Norfolk Tower?

Is using the bed of my 3d printer as a coffee pot warmer a good or bad idea?

@sirwillpearson Just a guess, but it's saying the connected device is a XBox 360 controller, and the library page says it needs to be a new XBox One? @recantha github.com/ApproxEng/appr…

In case the traceback helps... I'm planning to get to the robot club in cambridge next week. Haven't found any pi fans in Norwich as yet!

@approx_eng hi! I'm trying (again!) to use your library for a pi robot. The controller is an xbox clone sold by piborg a few yrs ago. Profile tool produced the yaml file. list_devices finds it , but show_controls doesn't. I'm on a zero2, running bullseye via ssh. Any ideas?? Thx!
