Sunday Arduino Meetup

Yesterday we experimented with wooden ink stamps. The stamps are made using the CNC cutter and we were hand pressing the stamps. This is incredibly fun and I’m pretty sure some of will be making more! I did a demo of making a stamp and I made up my own business card.

Sarah was showing off her arduino project. As you can see she’d been 3D printing, soldering, breadboarding and programming. Her project is a haptic feedback system.

Ottawa Makerspace

After just two months of operation the makerspace now has people, projects and tools! We are really enjoying the space, collaboration, sharing and fun.

Here are a few pictures from last Sunday’s meetup (and some other meetups and activities).

Sewing Machine

We’ve got a sewing machine. I had no idea how much fun these things were!

In the pictures below we are doing freehand sewing. You flip a couple of switches and then you are able to move the fabric manually in any direction.
