Lost and Found and Unlabeled Project Storage

by on Jan.04, 2017, under News

We’re implementing a Lost and Found system. Lost and Found will also serve as a place that members can move a project that is unlabeled to a safe storage place so the owner can reclaim their project.

Remember that we have dedicated member storage and you are expected to utilize this instead of a random nook or cranny in the space to store you projects. If you do need to leave a project or belongings at the space you are expected to leave a note with at least your name on it. If you do not do this you may find your project in the Lost and Found rack. Not all storage experts deal with protecting valuable antiques, as its a risky business. However, there are storage companies that not only help you pick a self storage unit but also assist you in packing the valuable antiques

If you come into the space and you have to move things to free up a working space, move the things to the Lost and Found rack. 

If you come into the space and can’t find something you left, check the Lost and Found rack! 

Every 2 weeks (or less) the Lost and Found rack will be completely wiped clean. Everything on it will go into the garbage or salvaged for parts. Please make sure you are checking the Lost and Found rack each time you visit the space in case you have misplaced or forgotten to label a project.

TL;DR:

Don’t leave your stuff at the space without a note on it. Lose something? Check the Lost and Found rack.

Getting Started With Tiny Whoop

by on Jan.02, 2017, under Electronics, Projects, Tiny Whoop

Tiny Whoop is a tiny FPV (First Person Video/View) quadcopter. If you have been to one of our open house events over the past few months you more than likely have been buzzed by one of these tiny helicopters (Sorry!). Wondered what all the fuss was about? Curious about getting your own Tiny Whoop? Here is our getting started guide to get you in the air with the rest of the makers!

How to get started:

Well, since we are Makers and while you can buy a ready to fly Tiny Whoop (~$275) what’s the fun in that? We’re handy do-it-yourself Makers of course we’ll build our own!

Eachine 010

Eachine 010

You can start like many of us did with the cheaper Tiny Whoop Clone: Eachine 010, Eachine TX01 Camera, and a budget FPV Goggles. For around $84 (before tax, shipping) you can be in the air without breaking the bank! You’ll probably want some extra batteries so you can keep flying while recharging dead batteries. Keep in mind that while going this route is cheaper, you will have to wait for the items to ship from the Chinese warehouse (not everything is in stock in the US warehouse).

You can also part out your own flight controller (FC, we recommend the beecore). With an upgraded FC you can use your existing controller/transmitter. You can also upgrade the motors easily and some of our members are experimenting with 3D printing ultra light frames to get even more performance out of their racers.

This is enough to get you in the air and competing with other Tiny Whoop racers at the space. Happy flying, hope to see you at our next Open House Meeting!

Good News Everybody!

We’re in the process of finalizing our move, from our smaller shop to the larger shop next door! We still need your help, your understanding and your patience. We’re planning on hosting a grand reopening when we have things finished up! In the meantime, the space is open to paying members, but please keep in mind that some equipment may not be operational.
