9-12-2013 New Tech “Node Chroma”
Karl
Reverse Space – Build, Create, Collaborate. New Tech “Node Chroma”
Come see the new tech at Reversespace called the Node Chroma. This is another great croudfunded project from Kickstater. This device will allow our members to take digital readings of a color to find a perfect match or to duplicate a color to be used on an art project. 3D printers can also use this to take readings of the final color of a print since the temperature and vendors of filament can change. The creator of the Chroma says that this is the first Bluetooth 4.0 color sensor that can accurately scan any surface color and have it's readings displayed on any IOS device.
5:30pm to 11PM – Space is open to everyone and their projects.
Groups meeting at Revesespace:
6:30pm to 7:30pm Home Automation Group of Virginia

If you have any projects you are working on, feel free to bring it to Reverse Space! We have locked storage space, hundred of tools and electronics, and the largest sections of free to use 3D printers for any Makerspace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace) on the east coast of the US. At this time membership is free.
