Arduino meet anyone?

[Greg Malcolm]

Anyone interested in an arduino/raspberry pi meetup?

My suggestion is that we could bring our various arduino bits and pieces and gather for an open space or two to mess around with gadget building or just chat about all thing arduinoy.

[Guy Royse]

I'll be bringing my stuff.  I plan on hacking on my Bertha API for the Arduino (https://github.com/guyroyse/bertha).

Also, I know that Scott Sullivan is wanting to get a regular usergroup established in the Columbus area for this sort of stuff.  I'm sure he'd want to meet up with us all.  Scott, make sure you are there!

I'm in for sure, my Raspberry Pi should be here by this Friday so I'll bring it along.

While I, currently, do not have any bits, I'm definitely interested in an open space for this stuff.

I would be interested. I have a bunch of .net gadgeteer stuff and love tinkering with it.

Great idea. I'll bring my stuff.

[Greg Malcolm]

I'm curious, what's the API used on that? Windows Phone C#?

I have only done the basic labs on that (but I do have a basic Arduino board that I could bring with me). Our build light (a full scale Traffic light) is controlled with an Arduino board but the guys who put that together couldn't get tickets (so far). I would certainly be interested in attending a meetup so keep me in the loop (aka post the details to this user group as they develop). :)

Please keep me posted about this meet up. I'll bring some of my stuff too. I made a beer brewing automation system with one if there are any other fellow home brewers who might be interested.

I'd be interested in learning how they set that build light up. If there's any information you can gather from your team on that before CodeMash, that would be awesome.

Rob,   I would be interested. Fellow small scale home brewer here. Would love to see what you've done.

Assuming theres a slot free when I get to the Open Sources wall, I'm thinking we should have our meetup on Friday at 1:45, if it pleases and sparkles.

I've created a build light using an Arduino, ethernet shield, 4 shiftbrites (4 build statuses, but it's really only limited by the number of shiftbrites you have hooked up), and a typical shadow box frame modified to hold the bits and pieces but still let the tech shine through. It pulls statuses from jenkins using the JSON API and allows each light to represent multiple builds (for us this means a combined iPhone and iPad build status on one light, for example).

There's a project on github: https://github.com/tmecklem/Arduenkins for the code. The documentation is a little lacking and it will shine some light on my scary bad C/C++ coding, but it works very well for us and has been in continuous operation for something like a year now. Here's a pic of our build light: http://t.co/FguVSWv0. The lights animate just like jenkins (with the greenballs plugin of course!).

Unfortunately I don't have a CodeMash ticket this year (bummer!), but if you're doing a meetup feel free to have a look and see if it would work for your needs. If you have any questions about this or the prototyping that preceded it, feel free to send me an email.

As it happens Friday @ 1:45pm there is an open room (Aloeswood/Leopardswood). Because this is a unique open spaces in that attendees will logically require power to plug in Arduinos / Raspberry Pis, etc, I'd like to suggest the group meets directly in that room. I will arrange for an extra table or two to be placed up front so everybody can lay out their stuff and power up. Sound good?

Very! Thanks Jason :D

[Jason Gilmore]

Great. Greg when you add the session to the Open Spaces wall can you be sure to mention it will be held Aloeswood / Leopardswood so interested attendees know to head that way? As it happens that room is also unused for the Friday 3:35pm to 4:35pm time slot so the hardware fun can run all the way up to the raffle if you want.

Arduino and Raspberry Pi newbies: Don't forget to check out the awesome introductory sessions we're hosting on Thursday and Friday morning. See the schedule for all the details.

Yep, will do!

Thanks for mentioning this, Jason. :D

You can filter the Sessions list for the Hardware sessions thus: http://codemash.org/sessions?technology=Hardware

I love seeing this Open Space session take form, and I really want to encourage those who would shy away from hardware or electronics out of concern that it would be over their heads. On the contrary, this is what is so fun about the Arduino (and the Netduino): You really can learn enough in an hour to make it do something interesting. (Which we'll do, in "Hello, Arduino," Friday 8:30. Beginners are very welcome.) The Arduino is also a great platform for crafts, eclectic home furnishings, and interactive Halloween costumes. :)

Can't wait!

Arduino is something I've wanted to do for a while.  I have nothing, would it be sufficient to grab one of those kits from Radio Shack to participate?

Thanks!

I guess at a bare minimum you would need an arduino, a breadboard, breadboard wires, and a USB lead, plus something to control (resistor, led and push switch would be a minimum set I think).

Yeah, should be able to get hooked up at radio shack.

Even without a kit there should still be ways to participate though.

Disclaimer: I'm stilling on the starter blocks of trying out arduino, so I'm far from expert... :)
