Hi all
Many thanks all for coming, please find below the report on last night Not Just Arduino event.
ShrimpingIt workshop info
All confirmed participants have received extra info on the Arduino Clone workshop on Thursday 9th May. We will add the documentation (slides/media) on the wiki.

UDOO
UDOO is a mini PC that could run either Android or Linux, with an Arduino-compatible board embedded. It's size is 4.33 inch x 3.35 inch (11 cm x 8.5 cm) and it has low power consumption. It has the power of 4 Raspberry PI + Arduino DUE functionality. Read this for possible connections between the two processors, explained and illustrated in an easy and intelligible way.
Raspberry Pi Projects
Interesting article listing Rpi projects and boards, including a car With Night Vision, Google Glass-like Translation...
Spark Core: Wi-Fi for Everything
Add Wi-Fi to Practically Anything With This Arduino-Compatible Chip. Kickstarter campaign here.
Detecting Radiation Levels in Fukushima: an example of crowdsourcing
Since 2011, various manufacturors have been developing open hardware Geiger shields to provide people in Japan with tools for self-measuring radiation levels. Here is detailed article on the process.
Voice Lamp
Voice Lamp is a Google Chrome application that makes possible to interact with a lamp made with Arduino by using your voice and a serial connection. It uses experimental APIs to create serial communication and to record voice using just Javascript. Source, More info
How to Use IR Remotes with Arduino
Beat Feet
Beat Feet allows musicians to add drum and guitar effects using only feet gestures and wearable sensors. Check the details of the project on this website and watch the video to see it in action.

Turning drawings into a music game
MusicInk makes drawings turning into real music, this process is due to a mashup of various technologies: Conductive Ink by Bare Conductive, MPR121 controller, Arduino (Duemilanove board), LiPo shield (removed on a second time), Bluetooth shield by Seedstudio, Android platform, Pure Data for Android (libido), Pure Data patch.
[edit]Sensor journalism
2 articles (1,2) about how sensor data and the devices built to gather them are changing the way we create or interact with the news.
[edit]BHOREAL
BHOREAL is an Open Source interface based on the Arduino platform that allows to control all types of software and hardware using a surface with RGB LED-backlit pushbuttons. Built for for multimedia applications intended for DJs, VJs, musicians, hackers and DIY creators. Support the campaign. Watch the video Project co-developed by an Hackspace member who will come demonstrate in a future event a prototype.
Hope to see you all on Monday 20th May 7PM for our next event.
