SCoW and Chow

2011.August.4

A lot of food at tonight’s SCoW. The evening started with Alan, Budi, and Danny discussing the Inscape Access Control System. I fueled the fire with some donuts. Laurence came in with his Subway sandwich but no 3D printer, so that was a letdown. Actually, he made up for it with his enthusiasm for building [...]

SCoW Notes

2011.July.29

2011.July.21

At last night’s SCoW, we installed a wireless doorbell. The button is on the sandwich board. Hopefully, people in the space will set out the board so that people who want in can ring.

What Would JR Do (WWJRD)

2011.April.23

What would JR do (WWJRD) when we’re in desperate need of few things to continue building our projects? We learn to make it, right? Here’s for example: When building the Multi Touch Surface Interface (which is basically a giant iPad in the form of a table), we needed few things in order to complete it, [...]

Many Hands Make Light(-emitting diodes) Work

2011.April.14

At last night’s SCoW, Alan W, Rehana, Danny, and Budi worked together to solder  many many IR LEDs for the multitouch table. Meanwhile Wim worked on the multitouch software. There was a little hiccup at the start because some of the LED holders had the wrong number of holes, but they got it straightened out. [...]
