I was asked for some (more) resources to learn about electronics, especially those that include some details about analog circuits. Here are some personal favorites and others that have been recommended. Dick Smith’s Funway into Electronics This was my way into electronics, and one of the only books I was ever allowed to take scissors […]
I was recently asked How do you learn Python for system automation?
Thanks to Adrian, we have a new members board! We’ll be working on getting everyone who is willing on both!
9th January 2024 Electronics/Linux/Retrogaming Meetup At last nights meetup someone asked What online resources are there to learn the basics (fundamentals) of electronics?
We succeeded in getting a Raspberry Pi to interface with an ICS43434 MEMS microphone! Screen shot is of an example python script that is capturing and plotting live sound data. Next steps are to document this setup, and see if we can create a system to automatically detect CNC milling operations. Part of our AI

Guardians: Please RSVP using the form below; it’s not mandatory but will help us gauge numbers, and arrange for helpers if needed. Mentors and Programmes: we’d love to
In our SciTech Friday’s kids group, we’ve been looking at measurements, and touching on decimals and exponents. Found this excellent ear-worm: It’s spectacular, in that “so eye-rolly, but it’s awesome!” sort if way. And best of all it works: even adults I’ve played it to can’t help singing along and discovering a prefix or two.
It’s been a challenging start to the new school year- a “simple” website upgrade went very wrong. The plan was to spend three or four days adding direct payment methods and syncing to our accounting system. However there were unexpected conflicts with different plugins, problems with an OS update, database server issues, and then issues
Adrian is creating an installation for Burn in the Forest 2022! “Spaceship Earth” is powered by an Arduino which controls a fog machine, sound effects, ultrasonic sensors, and multicolour LEDs! As well he’s constructed a novel ball machine to further entertain visitors using discarded bicycle chains, gears, with custom 3D printed and laser cut parts.
