Found a link here from a news item and joined up, so I thought I
should say hi.
I live in Walsall and work on the outskirts of Wolverhampton.
I am a Systems Engineer for a company that makes Fruit and Pub quiz
machines. This basically means I programme the software that drives
the hardware and stuff.
I have always been interested in programming and hacking things. I
mainly work in C/C++ but, I will generally be happy picking up any
language though. I have dabbled in Assembly, Python, Ruby, PHP and
others I can't really think of right now. I have been interested in
Linux since I heard about it back in 1997 and have played with lots of
Linux based stuff (self hosting, kernel compilation) and even did a
tiny bit of packaging work for the last release of Ubuntu.
I am interested in getting more into electronics and Arduino seems to
be the perfect way.
Just having a quick read over the posts it seems that people might be
looking into build their own boards. I would be quite interested in
learning how the board itself works and so would be interested in
taking part.
Am I right in thinking the next meeting is a week Wednesday? I am
hoping I could make it along. Would I need to bring anything?
Our next hack session is scheduled for Wed 15th, 6-10pm at The Edge in
Digbeth, Birmingham (B12 0QH)
It's set off the road a bit at the back of a yard so not so easy to
spot first time around. If you're heading up the road away from the
city centre it's on your right hand side. If you get to the Fountain
pub you've gone too far!
The main thing to bring is whatever you want to work on. We didn't
manage to get wi-fi working last time around, so best not to rely too
heavily on an internet connection for now... There's a kitchen at The
Edge, but no shops nearby so bring whatever snackage is necessary.
Also a pound for the kitty please.
There're generally a few arduino boards around if you want to have a
look before ordering one yourself. If you're ready to start tinkering
with electronics, there'll probably be a couple of soldering irons
knocking around too.
If there's anything you'd like to try, bit don't have the kit for,
just send a message out on the list and see fi you can pool resources
with anyone else.
Just out of curiosity, could you share the link you followed to get
here - it's useful for us to know how people hear about fizzPOP.
Cheers,
nikki

Hope to see you at the next meeting. I do C myself and last week was at a Python convention in town. Do still use Python much?
I put out the message to see if anyone wanted to make their own Arduino. Nikki and Antonio seem keen at present. Had no feedback from anyone else so far so not sure if this will happen at the moment.

Hello, world! I'm Stuart Langridge. I'm a software guy (Python, JavaScript; I work for Canonical on Ubuntu, and I'm a web hacker as well), and I was involved in the Wolves Linux User Group and LugRadio, if anyone's heard of that :) I'm interested in fizzpop for a few reasons:
1. I'm shortly moving from Stourbridge into the centre of Birmingham (anyone who wants to buy a 3 bedroom house in Stourbridge, let me know), and I'm really interested in ensuring that there's a vibrant tech scene in Brum, and fizzpop seems like a good part of that 2. I've got about a million ideas for gadgets and hardware and technology that I'd like to own, but I know nothing, *nothing*, about engineering. I'm a software guy. So, I'd like to learn. Hopefully I might pick up some stuff by osmosis, but more of what I need, at least initially, is to describe ideas that I've had and then see how hard you all laugh at them to know whether they're possible or not. I'd like to get into actually constructing these things, too (I will happily fill the list with the last year's worth of stuff-I'd-like-to-see-built), but just knowing some actual engineers will help :-)
Getting to meetings is a bit awkward, what with being out in the sticks a bit, but I'll do my best. (Not the one next week, though; I'm on holiday.)

What issues did you have with the Wi-Fi? I do have a spare Netgear
router if that's any use and have some experience with routers if I
can be of any help setting things up. The spare router has an ethernet
WAN port as apose to an ADSL modem WAN port though.

I casually try to use python to write small scripts at work.
Unfortunately we are a Microsoft based platform, but I try to sneak
Open Source and Linux based solutions in where ever I can.
Yeah I am interested in the "build your own Arduino board" project. I
think I shall be ordering one this week so I can start playing, but
would love to understand and build my own regardless.
Have you had much experience with Arduino boards?
Cheers,
Mike

Hey sil,
Not surprised at all to see you posting here!
Welcome to FizzPOP!
Getting to meetings might be a little less awkward when you're in Brum Centre... :D
I'm thinking that "Stuff I'd like to see built" would be great for a wiki page.
Anton doesn't seem to have got the grasp of the Wiki yet, is there anyone out there willing to run/spamclean the wiki?

I'm certainly happy to talk about these things in whatever way is most acceptable; should I just send posts to the list and then transport them to the wiki as and when it becomes available? (I'd like to volunteer to run the wiki, but history shows that I end up being too busy for periods of time and that's not good.)

For the wiki, as Mez suggested, it'd be good to have a page about
thing we'd like to build, though if people want to discuss their ideas
in more depth there is always the possibility of writing a blog post
about it, as the blog has proved to be quite popular.
If you'd like to volunteer to (help) run the wiki just drop me an e-mail.

Let me introduce myself. Probably too long, but I'm l'm :-)
I'm primarily a software engineer. I wrote my first program around
1979 at university. I dropped out of Physics and got a degree in
Computer Science. I taught Computer Science to under graduates and
post grads. in the 80's, and did consultancy. As well as teaching
'traditional' computer science, I was lucky enough to be part of the
team that developed the first European MA in Electronic Graphics. I
taught, and did, UNIX and PC development in C, Ada, and UNIX tools,
with much of my focus on computer graphics and animation (see
'Computer in the Art Room' by Catherine Mason for a view of that
time).
In the 90's I was a director and CTO of a start-up software services
company. We did high-end GUI-based client/server for a bunch of
companies including car companies, like Rover and Rolls Royce Bentley
Motor Cars (some of our work is stil in use today). At first we used
Mac clients, then UNIX workstations, then Windows PC's. We went on to
build early web applications for the likes of supermarkets. We were
among the early adopters of Java (before it appeared on Windows). I
collaborated on Enterprise Architecture blueprints for Sun
Microsystems, and we built systems for banks and insurance companies.
We got bought in 1999. I moved to the USA, and lived and worked there
for much of this decade as Chief Architect for two services companies
and, in between, a software products company called Aspentech. My
software is used to integrate plant systems and enterprise-wide
systems.
Nowadays I am interested in Erlang for distributed, highly-available
systems, and I'm working on integrating DTrace with Erlang. I've also
done a little work with NVIDIA CUDA. I am fascinated by sensor
networks.
My Arduino interest started last year, inspired by a friend, Mark, and
his grandson Ruben. I've been using it as a base to develop projects
for after-school technology clubs. Some teenagers at a local Coventry
school are kind and helpful enough to give their won time to help test
ideas, and suggest directions for or projects. Starting from nothing,
they have learned a little C, and some electronics. We've built a
simple autonomous robot (a tautology, I know, but some folks think a
robot is remote controlled). We've built some IR remote control
infrastructure, and we're working on an electro-mechanical display.
The overall goal is to have projects which volunteers could take into
schools.
Among my other 'hobby' projects is trying to develop a balloon
satellite system with the folks at the local school.
If you have seen the "Teddies in Space" pictures by the Cambridge
University Spaceflight club you'll understand why :-)
(see http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~cuspaceflight/)
I am competent at C, and I've a reasonable grasp of the internals of
the Atmega's, and processors in general (I can write assembler, but
why would I want to?-)
I'd be happy to try to help folks who'd like a bit of Arduino
assistance.
Work allowing, I'll see folks at the 16th July meeting.

I must apologise, I thought there was some administration or approval
thing involved with mediawiki. In which case the wiki is located here

You'll probably want to get a captcha on there to fill in before editing pages while not signed in, and creating accounts, there are LOTS of mediawiki spambots out there, and they've murdered a few wikis i've used.
Recaptcha is a good one, and it helps digitise books!

Hi to all you Makers, Hackers, tinkerers, artists and code-monkeys!
I'm Chris, also known as Zumf.
I'm a major 3d-printing/additive manufacturing geek, only I haven't *used *one yet, so I guess I'm just an enthusiast in training.
My main experience is in digital animation and illustration (I hope to combine these passions somehow), and I also do a bit of 3d modelling. I've been known to make physical models, and I've tinkered with electronics a little, but mainly simple things like soldering contacts inside my guitar when it's gotten borked.
I'd love to meet up with the group and talk about ways I could get involved, both on existing projects and new ones. I've got a couple of mates who've agreed to help build a RepRap Mendel, but I'd like to learn a few essential skills before I attempt it.
I am freelance AV/IT/Interactive tech for live events, so have played with a lot of stuff hardware wise and slightly technically minded (Answer to many problems has been "HAMMER").
Used to code bits of flash/html etc but has been a while since I have needed to so out of practise.
Most of my soldering has been on large gauge stuff but have done bits and pieces that count as electronic.
Got interested in hackerspaces after finding thegeekgroup videos on youtube.
Recently moved into Birmingham so hope to meet you all soon.

I do more large video setups (50 screens is my best so far), interactive stuff (pool table is one of the more interesting ones), Networking (wifi or provisioning).
Hope that helps.

That's awesome stuff! Do you have a link to work? I'd definitely be interested in finding out more...
I'm a VJ myself. I've been making videos for awhile and went into live performance earlier this year and I'm now doing more interactive stuff, utilising Pure Data and Processing. Check out my stuff here http://hellocatfood.com

I dont, generally most of the work I am contracted by an AV company and they keep any press rights if any are released. If your at the Christmas do got some photos and video on my phone.
Only ever seen one VJ set and it was awful so really interested in seeing it done well.
Hope to speak soon
