Happy Tuesday, Open Eve at the hackspace, 1st of October '24

by Andy Gaskell

Heya Happy Tuesday, hope you're well. It's open evening at the hackspace today, hope to see you there. I'll be in around 8pm, but maybe a little earlier. Email back with your plans if you like. I'll be tinkering with bits and bobs, and also sorting through the kind donations from Gavin, that he dropped round last week, including lots of good books, so we'll maybe relocate books to the lounge, as we've too many to fit in the bookcase now. There is some good info about it at... https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings We're at: Suite H, Kettock Lodge Innovation Park, Campus Two Bridge of Don, Aberdeen, AB22 8GU If you've not been before, how no? Come along and see what's going down, and also up, and very possibly sideways. Bring a laptop or something to tinker with. If you need a lift, reply back to here, fair chance someone will be able to help out. Cheers Andy

AAoD Fundraising Quiz, 18th October

by Hibby

Hi all! Out ever patient hosts AAoD[1] are holding a fundraising quiz night for the local Fibromyalgia support group and Aberdeen Burns Society (Rabbie Burns that is) at the Ashvale on Friday 18th October. Tickets are £17 pp which includes your Ashvale supper. If anyone is interested please reply on list/privately and I can put you in touch to get tickets. They are concerned about low numbers so it'd be great if we could help them out and get a group going - they're a great charity and very worthy of support, aside from hosting us! Cheers, H [1] http://aad-online.com -- Hibby Debian Developer Packet Radioist MM0RFN

LoRa for a resilience hub

by Tony Travis

Hi, I've just watched a discussion about "Meshtastic" on Destination Linux: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LaucZiOnFE > https://meshtastic.org/docs/introduction/ @Iain, are you interested or have you already used something similar for alerting volunteers to go to a resilience hub and start up the generator during a winter storm during a prolonged power-cut when all the phone networks are down? Bye, Tony.

Re: [57north-announce] Open Tuesday 13/Aug/24

by Andy Gaskell

Hi I'll be along, probably about 8pm too. Will try and finish sorting the donated bits from last Thursday, sorry, it's a bit messy, there is currently a table still covered with miscelaneos Arduinos, shields, hats and screen. Also a bit of van unloading I guess. If I start complaining about the Windsor protocol, and digital paperwork for B2B and B2C for shipping stuff to Northern Ireland, tell me to shut up, as it's a hell world that's best to not know about. See you in the space :) On Tue, 13 Aug 2024 at 16:20, 57North Announcements <57north-announce(a)lists.57north.org.uk> wrote: > > Aye fit like, dramatic looking clouds today - hope we all survived the thunder yesterday. > > It's Tuesday again, which means open evening at the space! > > The details of Open Tuesday including 'getting here' are available at > https://www.57north.org.uk/open-evenings > > We're at: > Suite H, Kettock Lodge Innovation Park, > Campus Two Bridge of Don, > Aberdeen, AB22 8GU > > Reply to let us know your plans.

CO2 sensor

by Wouter Piessens

hi folks, I have a suspicion my home office does has issues with CO2 accumulation when windows/doors are closed, which makes me sleepy. It is that, or my work is not challenging enough ;-) To rule out the latter, I would like to test the indoor air quality for a couple of days. Has anyone got perhaps an unused CO2 sensor lingering about, or Chinese rip-off of the SCD-40 sensor, that I could use for a couple of days? Cheers, Wouter (Aberdeen)
