Lots of people came, lots of pizza was consumed, and many interesting conversations were had. It has been just 14 months since our first meeting in Sketty to gauge the interest in having a space in the city, and we have finally done it and moved into our very own space, a massive achievement I think, and a massive thank you to all those that helped and supported us along the way. So now opens a new chapter, with our own space comes the opportunity to hold more frequent and varied events and workshops, to broaden our scope, and to build a collection of tools and equipment that everyone can share and benefit from. This is YOUR space, this is YOUR community, and we need your help to make this the coolest place to be. So please, if you feel you can contribute in any way, be it things to share, tools to donate or loan, or ideas you have of ways to improve, please share them with us. You also don't have to wait for us to come up with new workshops and meetings. If you have anything you would like to share with people, something you want a group of people to collaborate on, something you want to teach to others, or some topic you would like to give a talk on, don't be afraid to suggest it, and we will help you setup a workshop/tutorial/group session for it. Wether it is origami, sewing electronics into garments, or some interesting piece of technology you think others would like to have a look at, please share with us.

It was exciting to see the place and throw around ideas about what can be done with it. > This is YOUR space, this is YOUR community, and we need your help to > make this the coolest place to be.

I haven't used my crochet kit in ages so I'll leave it at the hackspace for members to use next time I'm there, if that's alright. I'd like to organise some coding meet-ups too when I have time. Once I get to know what area of coding others are interested in maybe I can offer some tutorials or themed hackfest days or something like that.

We have started a tech night in Llansadwrn as it is a long way to travel from Llansadwrn to Swansea. It is on the first and third thursday of the month in Llansadwrn reading rooms where we are doing a series of events on raspberry pi, arduino and mobile apps.

Electromagnetic Field (EMF) is a volunteer-run non-profit maker/hacker camping festival in the UK. We held our first event in 2012, and this year we're back and bigger than ever: a camping festival with over 1200 people of all ages, just outside Milton Keynes for a long weekend between the 29th and 31st of August. We run this event to promote people making and learning things across as many disciplines as possible. We'll take over a large field, roll out power and internet to every tent, and put on talks and workshops for three days. If you'd like a better idea of what that looks like, our website might help: https://www.emfcamp.org/about Our Call For Participation is open: we're looking for people to talk or give workshops. At previous events, we've had a huge variety of talks on everything from genetic modification to electronics, blacksmithing to high-energy physics, reverse engineering to lock picking, computer security to crocheting, and quadcopters to brewing. If you'd like to talk, we'll try and fit you in. We're especially keen to receive proposals from people outside the normal tech conference circuit (we welcome imposters!). If you need some inspiration, take a look at the list of talks from 2012: https://www.emfcamp.org/talks/2012 If you'd like to submit a talk, simply fill in this short form: https://www.emfcamp.org/cfp We're also looking for groups to run villages: camps within EMF where like-minded people can camp together and host activities for other members. Previous villages have been anything from retro-gaming to lockpicking, chillout areas, and a full workshop complete with laser cutter! Some groups just camp together so interested people can find them, some organise a village around a topic of interest and allow anyone to join them. If you'd like to register a village there's more information here: https://wiki.emfcamp.org/wiki/Villages We're also looking for people to build installations and art around the site. We have a limited budget available to help fund these projects, and you can find the application form on the call for participation page. Previous years have seen anything from ride-on tanks to floating LED screens and gigantic metal letters spelling out the event name! We'll consider anything interesting, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like to contribute. Last but not least: EMF is an entirely volunteer-run event and takes a vast amount of time to organise. We need volunteers to help out in a variety of roles before, during, and after the event. If you'd like to get involved, email volunteer at emfcamp.org. If you would like promotional posters, flyers and stickers to display in your hackspace or give out at a meeting, email your address to contact at emfcamp.org and we'll post them out as soon as possible! You can find out more about EMF 2014 on our website: https://www.emfcamp.org You may also be interested in the BBC coverage of the event in 2012: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19441861 Tickets are available from http://www.emfcamp.org/tickets, hope to see you in the field!

Is there a preference of one over the other and why or whatever.IVe just picked up a book from Pontardawe library on the Pi and programming it in Python.

Do you guys also have a favourite source or can supply them yourselves from somewhere too? Money. can I pop along to a view events/meetins first to check that I like the set up and that I dont annoy you more than I usually annoy people? as the first meet would be a 20 quid sign up , then a tenner for the month. both reasonable I guess, to pay bills etc, but Id rather spend it on a micro board, so that i could ACTUALLY do something with you guys :) then if I get along, Ill have to get a job, sell a child, ebay my life away in order to attend regularly :) Im also a bit of a traveller so tend to be away and this can mess up continuity etc. I missed the 14 months of gelling and stuff first and just rolled in as you got the space. curses. - I missed the printer workshop on saturday. still , I now know where the venue is ( on paper) are there people milling around during the day or whatever as I will be going down to dragon art centre to do photography today so could check it out then. thats about 10.30 till 12ish. and so finally, well done on getting it together! :) I'll try and set alarms , cattle prods, paint signs on my front door and inside of my eyelids in order to turn up to the next meeing, as I dont use facebook or twitter, email is the way.feel free to annoy me about meeting times and venues. ps does anyone fancy going to that techie festival that someone posted a link too on here? -I think you get an Arduino board with an LCD display as a name badge that tells you whats going on too. not sure if thats yours to keep after or you hand it back in, but sounds interesting anyway. long mail huh? :) ciao for now Schpengle From em at preseli.com Wed Jul 9 11:09:46 2014 From: em at preseli.com (Emyr Morris) Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 11:09:46 +0100 Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Kit,money,turning up :) In-Reply-To: <53BD0623.1030005@gmail.com> References: <1404838803.53bc23935dcb6@swift.generated> <53BD0623.1030005@gmail.com> Message-ID: there is a box full of Arduinos available for members to buy at the HackSpace... ?5 each (comes with a nice sexy USB cable too) One of the benefits of membership - bulk buy power and the sharing of knowledge of how to source things cheaper (collectively) and learning from the experience of grand masters like JM ;-) Arduino is a good way to start programming, C based so it would be familiar. Disadvantage of Pi is that the GPIO pins are wired directly to the CPU and you could damage it with careless electronic build The Arduino is VERY robust...

Dragon arts project. at exactly the same time as this, they have lost funding which means... ?10 memebership and ?2.50 a lesson. I do photography and music there (they also do pottery, and all sorts) I mentioned your new space and stuff to the secretary, she was very interested. Mentioned 3d printing etc. its a different sort of space completely but, they have a (pretty much unused) I.T room and all sorts and she thought you guys might be situated in the Volcano theatre space as they were offering space to groups etc. so thats two things to join and pay for! ooooh the competition is hotting up :) will check when the next event is and pop along. will def get an Arduino then, and hope to tinker with it, but i have problems with C syntax (read, *im clueless) so may well get a Pi to tinker with aswel, but look forward to learning with you guys. cheers for the explanations etc. I have two projects. 1 is a totally controlled plant growing environment (hardware) some controller then move it to a PIC or sommat. I have the preadko book and some programming boards I need to dig out and 2. a Metrology, ancient units of measurement project (belgian feet, etc .... umpteen types of feet, all based on the precise measures of fractions of the earth and all units (30 odd different types of the foot) all related by fractional proportions, and pi ratios (woah! wot?) as related on this waffly site http://secretacademy.com/ Im supposed to take over that one too. a mates, John Neal. he and John Michell decoded all that stuff ( john M, also discovered stone henge solstice alignments etc and is the guy who put Glastonbury on the hippy map as a spiritual mecca in the 60s- he died in 2008) so John Neal is currently the only chap who understands all that number stuff. I'd like to create a number crunching tool so archeologists and curios types can stick numbers in on new sites in metres, feet etc and see if it all holds water. :) so thats my two things :) see you all soon :) From gerrit.niezen at gmail.com Thu Jul 10 08:52:18 2014 From: gerrit.niezen at gmail.com (Gerrit Niezen) Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 08:52:18 +0100 Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Kit,money,turning up :) In-Reply-To: <53BDC632.3050703@gmail.com> References: <1404838803.53bc23935dcb6@swift.generated> <53BD0623.1030005@gmail.com> <1404917226.595.12.camel@emerald.geode.org.uk> <53BDC632.3050703@gmail.com> Message-ID: <09B5E717-3196-4679-9191-523529A4CA21@gmail.com> Hi Ian, > Dragon arts project. at exactly the same time as this, they have lost funding which means... > ?10 memebership and ?2.50 a lesson.

Mentioned 3d printing etc. If they don?t have funding anymore, do they still have eligibility criteria, like working less than 16 hours per week? I remember driving past the Dragon Arts Project while looking for potential premises for the hackspace on Morfa Road back in August 2013. After a lot of searching we finally have our current space :) > its a different sort of space completely but, they have a (pretty much unused) I.T room and all sorts and she thought you guys might be situated in the Volcano theatre space as they were offering space to groups etc. Aha, so she has heard of us before! :) I had an arrangement with the lovely people from Volcano to host our fortnightly meetings there before we had our own space.

I have been looking at it, theres a camper van hire place only a few miles from the emfcamp location, but then camper+tickets+parking fees starts adding up to a rather expensive weekend. at this rate we could have a swansea campervan "village" going ;) From djdavies83 at hotmail.com Thu Jul 10 15:03:26 2014 From: djdavies83 at hotmail.com (David Davies-Day) Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2014 14:03:26 +0000 Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] USB to serial In-Reply-To: References: <1404838803.53bc23935dcb6@swift.generated>, <53BE880A.1050407@gmail.com>, <1404995911.9944.28.camel@emerald.geode.org.uk>, , Message-ID: Here's the tickets page.... https://www.emfcamp.org/tickets/choose I imagine a carvan/camper ticket would be ?30 on top of tickets for eac individual.

Message-ID: To get the most out of the Arduino Workshop on Saturday is there other kit that would be helpful to get the most out of it? And if so, where should we go (websites to buy or preferred suppliers) to get these bits? Looking back through the talks archive notes I found a list of additional items (see below) in a previous Arduino talk . This next talk mentions servos, is there a different kit-list to bring to this new talk? Requirements For this tutorial you will need the following items :- - A Laptop, with the Arduino Environment installed - An Arduino Uno and its USB cable - One LED, any colour, and a 220ohm resistor - One push button - One LDR (Light Dependant Resistor) and a resisotr, 220ohm will do - Some interconnect wires and perhaps a breadboard - Optional for last example: NeoPixels or other WS2812 LEDs Thanks, Richard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As with previous tutorials I try to make sure i have enough of specific components to loan them to everyone during the meeting. For those that do have their own, the following items will be useful: Arduino Uno Breadboard and wires As i have limited stocks of these at the moment (more on order soon).

For the more adventurous there will also be a selection of more advanced peripherals that you can experiment with. You will need to bring a laptop, and your own Arduino if you have one (we have a small number for sale), the Servo tutorial will also require some colouring pens/pencils. Attendance is free for members, you can sign up on the day, non-members should make an appropriate donation.

Needed? laptop, own arduino. Helpful? breadboard and wires I do try to have supplies of everything ready before announcing a tutorial, but i am short on breadboards and wires at the moment, probably only enough for 5 or 6 people. more is on its way, but will take a couple of weeks. The servos we will be using are the SG-90 micro servos, i have a bag of new ones, and they will be available for purchase if anyone wants to take their contraptions home.

I buy all my stuff off ebay or aliexpress from china, you have to wait 2 weeks but its all so very cheap, Off the top of my head, i have bought Ethernet shield ?5, motor control shield ?3, RFID board ?3, LCD touchscreen ?5 I will be bringing my collection of shields and dev boards along on saturday for anyone that wants to have a quick go with them. Then maybe we can put together a bulk order and plan a future tutorial or group project using some of those boards.

Da iawn Ali Express! _------------------_ I just tried it. It actually uses Google translate so it produces Sgymraeg like "112 bleidleisiau" instead of "112 pleidlais" For those who dont know "Sgymraeg" is a combination of the Welsh word for the Welsh language "Cymraeg" and the English word "scum". It is used for the kind of stuff that appears all to frequently on signage. Like this hilarious example . A blogger from somewhere in Wales picked up on my photograph taken on the Kingsway and published in the magazine Golwg and blogged about it. http://amlwchmagor.blogspot.co.uk/2008/07/but-officer-sign-told-me-to.html [1] Other examples are shops selling "Traffic Jam and Marmalade" and labelling whisky, gin ,vodka etc as "ghosts" not "spirits", a school entrance being labelled not "Pupil and staff entrance" but "pupil and stave thrown into a trance" and "Cyclists dismount" becoming "Inflammation of the bladder overturn." _On 15 July 2014 12:14, Justin Mitchell wrote:_ On Tue, 2014-07-15 at 12:06 +0100, djdavies83 wrote: > http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=121320602722&alt=web [3] Sounds a bit expensive.

I found a plethora of this sort of thing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50000mAh-SOLAR-Power-Bank-Battery-Charger-iPhone-Pad-Samsung-Phone-survival-AR-/400733220970 They _claim_ 50,000mAh capacity and a 1.5W panel - that would give a charging time of about 76+ hours of sunlight from 0 to 50,000mAh (115Wh?) Anybody tried these out? I have one little 4000mAh solar battery pack that I picked up when it was on offer at Maplin, the great thing about that one it has no on/off button, just plug in the Arduino and it works, if the battery dies, and the sun comes out, it powers up the device, no need to turn it on... likewise, plug it into a USB source, 5V comes out to power the device, you got it, no need to turn on the source. So... add more solar panels (via the USB in), charge time decreases, and still nothing to turn on. Other USB battery packs that I have turn off the output while power is applied to the charging input and they require a push of a button to turn the output back on. so I guess what I am looking for is a beefier version of my Maplin sourced one, which was this: http://www.oyama-mobility.com/oyama/productDetail.php?pid=17 And yes, top marks if you guessed the next bit, Maplin don't sell that product any more! Anybody else tried anything of this ilk and found something that works easily? -- Mob: 07836 267426 This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

I pay much more attention to my emails before 17:00 on weekdays if people want to ask if they can pop down, although I make no guarantees if I will be free to let them in, and even then it wont be till at least 18:30-19:00 that I can get there. For future reference that balcony is part of a currently unoccupied office, not a communal area, wandering around out of hours when you don't have a key fob could set off the burglar alarms, and we have been told there is a ?40 fine for false alarms which will be passed on to the offender.
