Weekly #10

I am 3 days late to the weekly post - thanks to Kali for reminding me! Here are the community updates from last week!

Builds

• Kali got done with the schematic for his air quality monitoring board
• Anool and his grandnephew are building things with Legos
• I am collaborating on an art installation and am hacking around with motors and gears

• Anool built an awesome LOTR themed LED ring
  • git repo

  • git repo

Events

• Anool has joined the Pittsburgh hackerspace HackPGH and is doing 4 workshops in November - check their calendar
• Anool will also be at Hackaday SuperCon8, and will be doing a workshop

Discussions

• Discussion on I2C and pull-ups
• Alpha Folker is working on a cable gland relief - a good discussion on what exactly these are called
  • cable strain relief
  • rubber grommets with strain relief
  • ridges are called flanges

Since he's planning to print this in TPU, would be a good idea to pause-and-print so that you can put the cable inside - and don't have to friction fit it.
