Hacking Session: Sunday 15th Nov 2015

After a bit of thought we’ve decided to try an experiment.

Our end-of-the-month sessions are turning more and more into workshops, so there’s not really the opportunity to get any actual hacking done on our projects.

To address this we’ve decided to have ‘Hacking Sessions’ on the second Sunday of each month which will be a chance for you guys to bring your own projects along and work on them. This’ll hopefully give us all a bit more of a chance to get help from each other and make progress on our projects.

Diddley Bows: Sunday 25th October 2015

We had another great session this month with some new members and hackoustic stalwarts making all sorts of racket and mess in the hackspace. We ran workshops on the Epsilonograph and diddley bow making as well as messing around with nail violins, capacitative sensor MIDI controllers and and a new automated glockenspiel.

Capacitative MIDI: Sunday 27th September 2015

This month progress was made on the capacitative touch interfaces for our MIDI controller and enhanced glockenspiel, and we had a visit from Charles Matthews, who introduced us to his Augmented Gamelan.

Maker Mile Gig: Monday 21st September 2015

As part of the London Design Festival 2015, we were invited to present some of our projects at Limewharf cultural innovation hub. The event supported the Open Mile night run by the Maker Mile project.
