SW Makers February 2021 Eaton Meeting

14/2/2021

First meeting of 2021 and we saw and talked about a lot of new projects people have been working on over the Christmas break.  Discussions about Raspberry Pi Pico projects, learning KiCAD electronics design software, Laser cut able stamp rubber from AliExpress, lots about 3D Printing and electronics of course.

Harry has stripped down an old monitor, so that you could see through the LCD part of the screen:

He has also designed and 3D printed a set of RGB lights all controlled from a Raspberry Pi:

Rob received a special Christmas present - an Altair 8800 clone kit.  Looks very spectacular with all the blinking LEDs:

He is also working on building a front panel for a controllable Power Supply Unit:

Not wanting to dig out his Ferric Chloride and etch a PCB for a set of keys, he carefully dremeled the copper off the PCB:

Phillip brought along his Felix 3D printer and was printing out mounting brackets that he had designed up for Glad wrap and al-foil etc.  These are now neatly stored on the back of the pantry door:

This is a small two wire joiner I picked up from Aliexpress:

My apologies to the rest of the table for not photographing their projects (and mine).  Too much talking going on.
