Aim

This workshop is for people with basic knowledge of Arduino or does have attended our Introduction to Arduino previously.

You will continue your adventures with Arduino. If you have joined one of our hands-on introduction workshops and want to dig a bit deeper into using libraries and writing Arduino code, this workshop will show you how to use an LCD screen, a temperature and humidity sensor, and general coding tips.

Note: if you haven’t taken our Arduino intro workshop but you are…

Having some success during the Hong Kong Maker Faire 2018, we are renewing this workshop at Dim Sum Labs space in Sheung Wan.

Use some very basic electronics knowledge and skills to create your very own light-up earrings, pendant or brooch using LEDs. Use (or learn on-the-spot) some basic soldering skills to create a bright, fun accessory.

You could do this a follow on to our simple LED earrings workshop to a create matching set.

Aim of the workshop

• The first aim is to introduce to you the use of the software Inkscape, a free open-source software, available for all platforms (Linux, Mac and Windows). The software is similar in use and functionality to other may be more well known software such as CorelDraw and Adobe Illustrator.
• The second is to let you preview what can be done with some hard wood and a laser cutter … making the previously hard sheet of wood bendable.

In this workshop we will go for the simple or…

Most of us have some unwanted electronics cluttering our small Hong Kong apartments,

Let us help out!

Bring them to Dim Sum Labs and take them apart! Your electronic trash will provide hours of fun as we dig our way into the guts of machines together to see what’s inside and learn how they worked.

Bring in your old, broken, and/or unused electronics such as:

• computer towers,
• VCRs, DVD players,
• phones,
• monitors, printers
• and other gizmos & gadgets …
• Your trash will be everybody’s treasure !

Book by Michelle Poon from Dim Sum Labs

In The Field Guide to Hacking, the practises and protocols of hacking is defined by notions of peer production, self-organised communities, and the intellectual exercise of exploring anything beyond its intended purpose. Demonstrated by way of Dim Sum Labs hackerspace and its surrounding community, this collection of snapshots is of the work generated from an organic nebula, culled from an overarching theme of exploration, curiosity, and output.

The event will be held on 7 and 8 July 2018 at Poly-U with a series of happenings, including exhibitions, workshops, demonstrations and performances.

Together we hope to promote “Maker Culture” to the general public, demonstrating creativity, inventiveness and resourcefulness.

Dim Sum Labs is oriented towards DIY electronics and low-level programming, often with circuits, robots, micro-controllers (especially the Arduino) and take on many other types of electrical and software projects.

Hello Fellow members,

This post is just for you. We have been given by an ex-member (Marc R.), known to develop its version of a Delta 3D printer and a 3D printer kit for kids made out of 3.5″ floppy drive and DVD drive.

The Arcade table has already been hacked a couple of years ago. It is running the Windows version of Mame, on an Pentium motherboard.

The mission if you’ll accept, is to:

• Replace the Pentium motherboard with its Windows XP by a Raspberry Pi running Linux,
• Enhance the audio…

Lets meet some other creative types by visiting the Handicraft Fair at the HK Jockey Club’s Creative Arts Centre, followed by a visit to the nearby Electronics Markets in Sham Shui Po.

The JCCAC is a renovated 9 storey factory building in Shek Kip Mei where around 150 artists have studios.

Each quarter, the Centre holds a weekend fair providing a platform for the creative arts industry, attracting visitors and offering free arts programmes to the public.

Visitors can see original handicraft…
