@orionrobots @alexgibson3d @GuildOfMakers There are our good friends at @RichmondMakers too of course.

@SaveReadingGaol @MoJGovUK We wonder if there will be room for one of the biggest and best hackspaces in the country. We have 200 fabulous members, and loads of excellent kit.

EXACTLY 5 MONTHS SINCE THE EPIC READING GAOL MARCH AND... ...there are rumblings.👂 We have it on good authority that a sale has been agreed by the @MoJGovUK. 1/4

@SimonRussell @RdgWaterFest Yes, made by one of our members.

@RDGhack @RdgWaterFest Are those Catan tiles?

@Norro21 Looks very different nowadays! Big thanks to everyone involved but especially @RySpectra and @randominternet . Now we have over 200 members and still going strong. #hackspace #makerspace #rdguk #hack #make

10 Years since @RDGhack opened at the current location! 🎉 May the 4th be with you

@DaveHeavyPop You would probably do best going along to one of the Reading Repair Cafe events

Hi @RDGhack thanks for the follow! A friend mentioned that you might be able to help to look at and potentially fix my cd HiFi player?? It's stopped reading CDs and I tried a cd lens cleaner but it won't even read that. 😢

@maracampbell dir2@rlab.org.uk will get you a response:)

@RDGhack Hi! Who can I email with a question about the Hackspace? Thanks!

@moreati It should arrange them so they align vertically for easy access when wheelbuilding

@RDGhack does it let prototype nipples pass through, or block them?

@_gerleahy_ @RepairCafeRDG will be at the space this Sunday

@Eastreadingcom Nearly, we have a Silhouette vinyl cutter, so they are cut out on that, then weeded then ironed on.

@RDGhack looks cool how did you do it laser cut and ironed on?

@Adele_Thames @ReadingCouncil @REDCaversham You have mail :)

@RDGhack @ReadingCouncil @REDCaversham Hi, can you email the details to me please? Adele.Barnett-ward@reading.gov.Uk I can then chase and get back to you.

@markmaurice Lovely stictching :)

Finished off this batch of tool rolls - waxed cotton, upcycled leather. Pattern laser cut at @RDGhack and then hand stictched. Available here etsy.com/uk/listing/112… #handmade #madeincaversham #rdg #rdguk #localmakers #make #bike #bikepacking

@alexgibson3d Yes, it will be there for a while for sure

@RDGhack That's a beautiful thing. Is it still there? I need to pop over soon and I want to ogle it.

@upyesp Don't just pop down but see here for how to join rlab.org.uk

@ShannonTony It's ESP32-based (so WiFi and Bluetooth enabled) with MAX7219s driving the 7-segment digits. The hard part of the circuit borrowed with pride from an @adafruit feather schematic. Board designed with the mighty @kicad_pcb and assembled by @JLCPCB

@ShannonTony No, this is a bespoke board designed by one of our members with groups of 4xDigits then soldered on. Designed to be daisy chained together too - look out for the 64Digit monster coming soon(ish)

@_M0JJF @MatthewHarrold Hi. Yes we are but have had to adapt our joining procedures to be by appointment. If you DM your details, I’ll follow up for you :)

@cip10001 Ha, yes indeed. The circles are from the mystery wood pile.

@RDGhack Someone plying their trade.

@JuneLau1 Hi @JuneLau1 - have DM’d you with details

@RDGhack Hi, do you know when you’ll be able to run your open evenings again please? Would love to come and visit and hopefully join, thanks
