Leman make, Switzerland's first Maker Faire, will be held on the 27 and 28 of June 2015 in Nyon. Fixme will have a presence there with a stand, and the possibility to organise workshops.

Stand

Fixme will have a stand at the festival. We will need to bring things like 3D printers, various really cool projects, stickers, laser cut things, displays and more!

• Nemen will bring a chocolate printer
• Mutex + dgellow will participate in spaghetti bridge competition (?)

Workshop

We will be building Minecraft blocks, with a LED inside controlled via Arduino. The Arduino will be programmed over Scratch.

Components

Laser cut box (Sasha)

• Buy some m^2 of plexi and cut it to size

Scratch for Arduino (Rorist)

• Find best Scratch for Arduino
  • Scratch plugin https://khanning.github.io/scratch-arduino-extension/ (prefered)
  • Scratch fork http://s4a.cat/
• Create the concept for the scratch part of the workshop

Arduino hardware

All this needs to be bought

• Arduino nano + cable
• RGB LED (soldered in advance)
• Temperature probe (soldered in advance)
• Other sensors
• Usb charger or no usb charger?

Proposed workshops

These were some of the proposed workshops - they will not be held

Arduino

Use Scratch for Arduino to make a Minecraft block with a LED inside that varies in color according to the temperature, gyroscope movement, time, or even something else!

ESP8266

• Temp logger
• Wireless smart LED (i.e. new email, new tweets, outside weather, etc)
• Door opening sensor

Raspberry Pi

• Weather station
• LED controller,
• Seedbox
• Programming with Scratch

Soldering

• Alcohol meter workshop
• Something with a blinking LED
• Solder your own arduino + make it blink
