In an effort to capture an overview of the projects going on at the Hack Factory and introduce some of the TC Makers who have had less online exposure due to being more stuff than bits people here is the first of a likely irregular series of the Wednesday Night Roundup.
In no particular order here are some of the people and projects happening on Wednesday December 15th. ( I took lots of pictures, most were bad, and a fair portion completely unusable hopefully things will go better next time, similarly I’m easily distracted and the HF is known for having not only lots of shinny objects, but also squirrels, so my understanding of the details, or even the general idea of the projects maybe incorrect )
In the Classroom / Lounge area:
Steve was starting on
an Arduino project
using input from a pneumatic ,
or perhaps hydraulic sensor.
.
.
Jim was also working on an Arduino project, he had mouse positional information controlling a servo with some high tech coat hanger apparatuses attached to it. The goal as I understand it is to use visual feedback to allow the servo to balance the contraption.

If any of this looks interesting we encourage you to stop by, for the Wednesday Open House, every Wednesday from 7-10 at the Hack Factory. I'm trying to get some of the folks with interesting projects to write them up either here or on the forums and share their passions and experience. Feel free to leave comments and encourage them.
