Introduction:

So this was a project that I always had in reserve if I didn’t have many other projects. So when the world shut down I decided to give this a go. The aim was to grab an old portable boombox from the 90s and breathe new life into it by replacing most of the internal electronics and adding new features. It was initially going to be a small project with just Bluetooth, rechargeable battery and amp but…

Trailer update – New 12v solar charge controller feeding two 105Ah batteries, 3000w pure-sine inverter, tested with 7A power saw (dimmed light). Prompted discussion about how to partition power for more sensitive electronics. Have free 2nd 1500w modified-sine inverter that should be temporary solution (want pure sine for everything). Also added a remote switch at trailer doorway to turn inverter on/off.

Holiday Hours! Given that the next two Fridays are Xmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, we won’t be offering Public Tours and New-Member Orientations these weeks. We apologize for any inconvenience.

It takes all of 30 seconds to vote and no sign up is…

Im Zuge der Pandemie des Coronavirus und der aktuellen Lage wird der Hackerspace ab heute, bis zum 31. Januar 2022 vorläufig geschlossen. Ziel ist es eventuelle Ansteckungen zu verhindern und eine weitere Verbreitung des Virus zu verlangsamen.

Der Hackerspace ist bis Ende Januar geschlossen

We hope to make open days a regular occurrence to make as many people aware of the Newport Makerspace / Creudy Casnewydd facilities and to encourage them to learn new skills.
