[57north-discuss] Half-dead multi-function printer any use?

Hey guys, I've a Brother MFC-425CN printer/copier/fax/scanner that has decided to give up the ghost, and wondered if it would be of any use for parts or maybe it could be fixed, potentially - though I know printers are cheap. I happily had this working under linux in the past, and it has a

Re: [57north-discuss] Monday Night Hacks

hi all, I will be along soonish I imagine, for more laptop fixing goodness and essay avoidance (850+ words so far!) Neiljp On 9 Mar 2015 14:23, Dave Hibberd d...@vehibberd.com wrote: Gd afternoon happy hackers. I'm going to be in space ~ 1930 tonight to play with toys and stuff for

Re: [57north-discuss] This Weekend

I could be in for some social hackery, mapping, possible raspberry pi'ing and potentially finally installing debian on my laptop (though a backup might be ideal first). Time/day wise, either this evening, sunday or maybe tomorrow evening are doable, but I'm pretty flexible so could probably make

Re: [57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Tuesday

I hope to be along tonight (moist atmosphere permitting), and will certainly not be mentioning maps..maybe. I could bring some electronics but it's a lot of stuff given the weather; anyone done anything much with the fabled 8266(?) chips? Neil On Tuesday, 18 August 2015, Robert McWilliam

Re: [57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Tuesday

I shall be along to fiddle more with my ESP, bell, and possibly mapping if I run out of other things to do which is seeming increasingly unlikely. Unfortunately the transistors I ordered haven't arrived yet, so probably no IoD yet... Also, someone who knows about hackspace money should hassle

Re: [57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Tuesday Gladness

Now that my little stripboard ESP8266-01 module works, I'll likely be developing the software further, adding sensors, making a bell ding, or working on a second board design now I've got a feeling for what I care about. Perfboard, even. For anyone who wants to know more, just ask :) -- Neil

Re: [57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Tuesday!

I shall be along, probably working on my latest ESP-01 board, possibly making dinging noises, making lua noises, and maybe mapping. Mike: I'm using Fritzing, but also haven't yet got to the stage of rejigging parts, at least not entirely successfully yet. So, interested to discuss it and see what

Re: [57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Tuesday open evening

Having got a DingBot-in-an-ESP8266, I'm going to either work on driving the bell or soldering up more of my development board with newly-arrived component goodness. Oh, and maybe twiddling with the code or showing anyone who's interested. -- Neil On 3 November 2015 at 12:45, Robert McWilliam

Re: [57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Tuesday

I plan to continue my avoidance of mapping and do more electronics stuff, possibly involving exploring ESP8266 firmwares. Beer and/or gin sound like an option... -- Neil On 20 October 2015 at 15:59, Edward Watson wrote: > IOn 20 October 2015 at 10:13, Doc Ocassi

Hopefully I'll finally make another meeting, and I might even try and do something other than mapping ;) *packs up all his electronics tinkering stuff* Rob: will be interesting to see what you've done with temperature stuff :) How early are we looking like for tonight? -- Neil On 13 October

Re: [57north-discuss] Fancy a get together at Hibby's shoebox?

I have very little food in the house, so probably nothing obviously complementary, but I do have a popcorn machine and a bag of unpopped corn, if that's of interest ? -- Neil On 5 December 2015 at 17:27, Edward Watson wrote: > FYI Hibby has green-lit me probably bringing

Re: [57north-discuss] [57north-announce] Tuesday

Sadly I will not be in tonight to fail to ring a bell (or compare notes over esp8266) as I'M ON THE TRAIN *cough* Anyhow, have a good night and I'll catch up next week or on irc/email. Now to be less loud in the quiet coach... Neil On Tuesday, 24 November 2015, Robert McWilliam

[57north-discuss] BG electricity monitor available

Hi All, I've got a British Gas electricity monitor here, and may have another going spare too, which I am no using and certainly won't be after I move. Anyone interested in using it or tinkering with it for a home-grown monitoring system? -- Neil ___

Re: [57north-discuss] BG electricity monitor available

I plan to bring them both tomorrow, so they can be fought over then ;) (albeit with Tom & Ed having first claim) -- Neil On 7 February 2016 at 14:59, Tony Travis < tony.tra...@minke-informatics.co.uk> wrote: > On 06/02/16 16:43, Neil Pilgrim wrote: > > Hi All, > > &

[57north-discuss] Waffles!

I mentioned to a few people that I have some waffle makers (like sandwich toasters, but for waffle batter), one needing US socket/power (making standard 'square' waffles) and one a UK one (making star-shaped thinner ones). Since there was some interest here, if anyone has a sincere interest in one

Hi Hibby, I shall be commiserating the departure of my Wife to another continent while attending this evening, possibly with beverages and electronics of various sorts... falling back to mapping if apathy strikes... -- Neil On 16 February 2016 at 11:16, Hibberd, Dave

Ah right, I might also bring a container to enable popcorn containment. Was someone interested in my waffle-maker? -- Neil On 16 February 2016 at 11:57, Edward Watson wrote: > As my first spell off from dealing with stupid lastminute urgent demands > on my time, I

[57north-discuss] CNC software

Hey All, Someone at the space (Mike?) was asking after CNC software; I found one link on Tuesday, but also re-found this one: http://www.linuxcnc.org/ Of course, if anyone has other ideas, it'd be interesting to hear about them :) That's all :) -- Neil
