I’ve just joined and I couldn’t be more excited! With the Christmas period being chaotic, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to make it but I’ll try and come to the next open evening.
Some interests/projects I have in mind:
Small, low power microcontrollers - ESP8266, ESP32, etc. - for use in home automation, portable devices and, occasionally, over-engineered fancy-dress costumes
I’m thinking about making some basic modular music synth modules with an emphasis on quick-n-dirty results and low price
I make models so I will, no doubt be looking to use some of the more specialist kit to help with this (I’m very keen on getting some experience with a laser cutter)
I’m a web developer, so I’m always interesting in connecting physical projects to the internet
I’m often making costumes and want to get more skilled in traditional craft-type areas
I love the idea of ad hoc mesh networking to reduce the dependance on centralised networks
I’ve got a basic set of woodworking skills that I’d like to develop further
Hello! I am also just getting into playing with electronics for music making so if you fancy playing around with making beeps and / or boops I would totally be up for that.
I’ve made some Frequency Central Modular stuff in the past. I just had to sell my entire modular rig as I needed the cash, so would be interested in possibly making some new ones again. Would have to be in March at the earliest as I have a lot on at the moment…
March sounds like a good timeline - by then I’ll be past my initial bleeps and bloops and might have something approaching a basic setup.
Since I posted this, I’ve put together a stripboard oscillator with a cem3340-clone as its core. I’m also trying to work out the plan for my envelope generator.
