SparkBuildNight

What it is

A chance for us to build some projects using the Spark.io board. It is a small, inexpensive (free for us!) Arduino-like board w/ wireless built-in, and a 'cloud' development environment and API.

Info on the Build Night Here: Build Night

We are going to be sent:

• (10) Spark Cores
• (10) Spark Buttons: a new shield for Spark with LEDs, 4-way clicking like a game controller, acceleration and temperature sensing.

Note: this is hosted by Instructables and they ask that we submit 2 Instructables about projects built at Build Night. Both Steve and Vic have volunteered to do write-ups, but the more the merrier.

When it is

Need to finalize this but how about Tuesday the 11th, Thu the 13th, or Friday the 14th (or some combo)?

Who we'd like to see there

• Hardware Hackers
• Software Hackers
• Artists with creative ideas
• Non-artists with creative ideas
• Artists or non-artists with practical ideas
• Somebody (or multiple somebodies) with cameras and camera skills to help document the projects

Project Ideas

• Crawl Space Monitor
• Bathroom Occupancy sign in the Workshop
• Magic Wireless Neopixels people can interact w/ via the Web

Stuff we need

(Make a 'wish list' of things you like to have there for building - hopefully we can pool resources amongst ourselves)
