Open Hack Nights at the Hackspace

🇬🇧 · Nottinghack

<b>Hack at The Hackspace</b><br /><br />Every Wednesday the Hackspace will be open for drop-in hacking. You can choose to do your own thing, just hang out or join in if we've a planned activity or workshop. Bring your own tools and projects or use some of the growing selection of Hackspace shared tools. <br /><br />Literally almost anything is suitable for doing in the Hackspace including:<br />Robotics, electronics, programming, knitting, crafts, woodwork, bike repair. You can bring any project to the Hackspace you like as long as it's (fairly) safe and doesn't disturb others... but if you are not sure contact one of the Organisers for guidance. <br /><br />We now offer membership for £20 a month or you can just pay £3 on the night. More information about membership or visiting costs will be posted later this month. <br /><br />To get into the Hackspace come through the green door in the photo and buzz the intercom for 1st floor studio.<br /><br /><a href='http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;ll=52.94757,-1.146795&amp;spn=0.000852,0.001725&amp;t=k&amp;z=19&amp;msid=112796880285527659040.00048ddd2a286ad9137ce' target='_blank'><img src='http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/a/e/4/event_16986884.jpeg' border='0' alt='' /></a><br /><br />

Funicular railway site visit

🇬🇧 · London Hackspace

So yeah we are having a visit to this:
http://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2010/11/20/london-funicular-railway/

It will take all of 30seconds to do then we can retire to the pub.

This is in no way a thinly veiled trip to go drinking.

Biohacking workshop at hackspace

🇬🇧 · London Hackspace

Come along to hear project ideas for getting biohacking started at the London hackspace, and to decide which one(s) you want to get involved with. Beer, cake and heckling strongly encouraged.

Reverse Engineering Day

🇬🇧 · London Hackspace

Information for Reverse Engineering Day
There is a hackspace project to reverse engineer the chinese laser cutter software to discover it's secrets, and allow us to make something a little bit better. So we are planning on having a day on the 15th of Jan dedicated to all things reverse engineering. It will be a day of code hacking and prodding the binary files generated by the laser cutter software.
There will be also be a couple of talks, for those that wish. I'm doing a beginner's guide to patching with Ollydbg, and Mark is doing something on the differences between the low-level guts of windows and linux.

An introduction to lockpicking

🇬🇧 · Nottinghack

After the success of the last event &amp; interest from members &amp; non-members who couldn't make it, I've decided to run 2 more sessions to introduce people to the techniques of picking locks &amp; lock-sport as a hobby. <br /><br />The two sessions will run on Monday 17th January from 6-9pm and Saturday the 22nd of January from 12-3pm, to allow people who can't make events on a &quot;school night&quot; or on a weekend to attend. Both sessions will be open to all, including those who have attended previous sessions, however spaces are limited to 15 people for each event, to ensure there are enough tools &amp; locks for everyone. <br /><br />I'll be taking people through the basics of how a pin tumbler lock works (the most common household lock) and discussing how various picking techniques open locks with lock picks and other bypass methods :) <br /><br />I've got a selection of different lock types to demonstrate and will be providing tuition an opportunities for people to practice the techniques demonstrated. <br /><br />I can only bring a limited selection of tools at present, but if there is enough interest, we may look into getting a practice set for the hack-space for future sessions. <br /><br />We will also be discussing home security in general, with hints and tips on what you can do to better protect your home &amp; possessions. <br /><br />A £4 contribution to the hackspace has been suggested, to cover the cost of running these events &amp; I'm hoping to have a selection of locks, books &amp; tools to be left out for members to use, either during drop in hackspace sessions, or in their own time.<br /><br />

Apologies, posted to the wrong social group! I was talking about the Programmers and Dev. group that meets at Notts Contemporary. Turned up a little too early for that group by the looks of things. Also, been thinking of attending a hackerSpace very soon! Hope things will work out better next time for me. Thank you all for being friendly to an old sour puss like myself!<br />

Hi Xander,

Sorry to hear you've had a bad night & are disappointed as a result, however I think there's been a misunderstanding.

The Hackspace is located at:
The Old Police Station, 3 - 9 Station Street, as posted at the top of this meetup. If you have trouble finding it, head for the train station, find the Tesco's opposite & the hackspace is through the green door to the right (photo is above) on the 1st floor (you'll have to buzz to get in though)

I hope to see you at future meets / events<br />
Tony Shannon on 2011-01-19 @ 22:49<br />
<br />
You must have been at the wrong place. Everytime I have been it has been very clearly marked with a large poster and the intercom is marked too. I don't know the city very well but above the tesco next to the train station was easy enough for me to find.<br />
Tony on 2011-01-19 @ 21:53<br />
<br />
I came. Notts Contemporary never heard of 'hackerspace'. I waited 10 minutes, no one turned up. So, I left. THANKS FOR WASTING MY NIGHT.<br />

How To Workshop: Make a Circuit Board

🇬🇧 · Nottinghack

Get the basics of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) manufacture from Nottinghack's Matt Little (from our Soldering &amp; Drawdio Workshops). <br /><br />There are many processes and techniques for making a printed circuit board (PCB).<br />In this session Matt will guide you through his process for making PCBs, this involves:<br /><br /><ul><br /><li>Design of PCB<br /><li>UV photoresist <br /><li>Etch<br /><li>Drill<br /></ul><br /><br />Matt uses a mixture of home-made and bought tools. He will highlight some of the problems and share some of the tips and tricks he's uses.<br /><br />You will get to create and keep a circuit board for a simple LED flashing circuit (components included). <br /><br />The circuit board layout is made using the open source software called KiCad (for both Linux and Windows). If you have a (small) circuit you would like created then bring along your completed PCB design and we can make that with you!<br /><br />This session will cost £8. In this session we will develop and make the circuit board and (if time) you can solder up the circuit to create a simple LED flasher. All tools supplied.<br /><br />Please do tell us about your own PCB manufacture methods<br /><br />Don't want to make a circuit board? It's Open Hack Night so please do come and join us that's FREE as always! Only pay if you take part in the workshop!<br /><br /><br />* Please note the image is NOT the circuit you'll make on this workshop (just a picture)<br /><br />
