Arduino day

Fellow Penguins, It was recently suggested to me that there would be quite the overlap of interest enough to post to the discuss list, please pardon the relevancy. This coming Saturday the 29th at 10am Makers in Manchester is organizing a community event for Arduino day at the abiHUB on Elm st.

Call for topics, Open List

Current call for topics response

Thanks for the responses to the questionnaire! TL;DR - Great topics suggested, valuable info collected, need more interest in event hosting. It was pointed out to me that making results private was a better idea. Which I conceded to and is better off because the results are presented in an

Re: Current call for topics response

Hey Bruce! Think this was enough of a ramble... though there is more to say, What?! And you didn't say it? Are you sure you're a GNHLUG'er!? :-) Well, way I figure it, I lose my muggle friends to boredom when I talk technical, maybe the inverse effect happens with tech wizard friends. That

Re: Best RAW photo editing tool?

I have got tired of post-processing because of the time it takes. Sad to say google's auto-awesome impresses me in terms of time efficiency. Laziness aside, if I remember correctly rawtherapee was a pretty good balance between workflow and power. Ultimately that is what it comes down to. If you

Re: Best RAW photo editing tool?

How do I run that (auto-awesome) on my Linux box? I talk about google's awesome corrections a bit tongue in cheek, most of them are awful instagramy type effects. There is however an auto-enhance option(once uploaded from your linux box to google's linux box) that is subtle enough to be effective

Re: simulating chorded keyboards

Have been building chorded keyers for a couple of years now, Going to be brief because I could go off on a real tangent about DIY keyboards. If he is really interested I'll likely have test pcb boards in the future and other opportunities. Ultimately I have been gunning to build a wearable

Re: simulating chorded keyboards

Okay I have already put in a lot of pain in suffering over wanting to do David's son wants to do so I feel obligated to divulge more. Typically usb and laptop keyboards will likely fail to meet his needs USB hid can only report 6 keys at a time and some modifiers, which would be fine for most

Re: simulating chorded keyboards

Huh, that doesn't really work either. I can get up to 6, but I still have to choose carefully (or something). Maybe the Linux keyboard driver is the real problem? Or the keyboard hardware itself? Or maybe just my program, which I will admit is hacked together. You might be able to get 7 if one of

By the looks of it I would assume Joshua's company is offering paid work. That type of, even green talent is fairly sought after. Plus unpaid is actually very legally sketchy ground when it renders something useful to the offering company. In response to Greg's humorous comment. I recently got an

Re: Off Topic: LED Light Bulbs

Sounds like a great deal. Recently at the RI home show, I picked up 4 bulbs subsidized by National Grid, $10 plus RI tax. Coming to less than 2.50 a bulb once you factor in that a LED task lamp was included. Things are starting to look bright for LEDs regardless of subsidies. Like mentioned

Re: SDHC card locked?

Another adapter will probably help. I do have short related story that might be insightful. I have found that the locked position is normally pushed furthest away from the reader. Giving this was the case with one of my micro sd adapters, whenever I would push the card into my laptop the reader

Re: Not even a tiny python script could have helped...

Odd as it may sound to an outsider, wish we could have talked Python over cookies and milk another time. Already miss him, as unfortunately I have not talked to him in quite a while. This is sad news On Tue, Jan 5, 2016 at 8:05 PM, Ed lawson wrote: > On Tue, 5 Jan 2016

Re: What Language for a kid

I've never used labview or the newest version off mindstorm, so honestly these programs could be completely relevant I could be completely out of touch. The big point is, making programing accessible is great if it can be used practically and the programer identifies him or herself as having

Re: What Language for a kid

Hey Kenny, One thing I really want to recommend against is scratch or mindstorm. I think they are both really fun and all, but no one that solely uses graphical code block type systems self identify as a programmer or has confidence to tackle issues that involve code. Honestly it defeats the

Installfest

Hey folks! In light of current events I decided Ubuntu is going to be the demonstration piece for Saturday. So far looks like it's safe to say we will have about 5-6 penguin friendly people and about 7-10 penguin curious based on meet-up and eventbrite sign ups Still starts at Ten, but I'll be

Re: Privacy Respecting Replacement for facebook groups

Another alternative to Mattermost, discord, or Slack is Element/Matrix. They have free matrix.org servers you can create channels on. The caveat being that the free servers are slow compared to hosting your own federated server. Which you can pay for through their service called Modular. Another
