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 (?)
- Who can be at the booth ? https://framadate.org/4mqwi17c37zfw5k7
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
