The first Wednesday evening of each month is open to the public and
focuses on robotics, particularly NodeBots (
http://nodebots.io), which
is one way to control your mBot.
Several CCHS members are quite familiar with the mBot hardware and can
help you with directly programming the on-board Arduino compatible
microcontroller, using the MakeBlock (mBot manufacturer) supplied
software. This software provides a higher-level "block" drag-and-drop,
which generates Arduino "C" programming sketches.
So, you could just drop by on Wednesday 7th December (and subsequent
first Wednesdays of the month) ... as a member of the general public.
Or, if you prefer come and check-out the CCHS sooner (kick the tyres,
see what you think) and consider joining the club as a member, which
enables you to visit more often (see event calendar here
http://hackmelbourne.org) and access to tools / equipment (3D printers /
laser-cutters, ...) that you could use to augment your mBot (we can show
you how) ... in which case, this coming Wednesday 30th November would be
a good time to drop by ... around 7:30 pm (usually a number of us have
turned up by then).
