SW Makers March 2017 Busselton Meeting

27/3/2017

0 Comments

 
This was the first big event for Busselton.  We a few new people show up for a look at the kinds of things we get up too.

Unfortunately, I got a bit carried away with chatting with people and I completely forgot to photograph peoples projects.

Calum and Euan had further developments on their robot build, Murray brought along a few robots he is building and demonstrated his software environment that he is writing, Phillip brought along his 3D printer to work on and some Arduino gear, Diane worked on some fabric art, and made up some Chinese finger traps for people who had not seen them before, Paul continued work on an Arduino based LED board.  My apologies if I missed anyone.
