Slightly behind schedule but the roof tiles have been repaired, desks set up and started to clean the kitchen. Thursday night 3D printing sessions are proving popular with members being inducted or using the machines. On Tuesday nights one of our Directors is available to show prospective members around.

We are getting ready to re-open for face to face meetings. Members have been busy during lockdown repairing machines and getting rid of excess equipment. We should have two CNC machines, a Vinyl Cutter and our laser cutter ready for members to use. One of the jobs was to re-fit some of the roof insulation tiles.
Internet of Things
We recently acquired some photon devices from Paricle.io. One of our members has installed a unit in the Hackspace connected to two PIRs and Temperature sensor. This device connects to the Hackspace wifi and enables the device to be re-programmed remotely and the data streamed to a site and graphed. During the lockdown this has enabled some degree of remote monitoring. If you are interested in this type of project, then come on down when we re-open to new members. Current data is shown below.
Virtual Hackspace Tour
During the COVID-19 lockdown the Hackspace has been closed to new members and has only been open to existing members with a valid reason for access. One of our relatively new members, Max Ruffels, has created a virtual tour which is on our YouTube channel and has a link from our members page. If you want to see our resources, check it out and come down for a tour when we re-open.
