Hanging out at the Knox Makers Tuesday meeting https://knoxmakers.org/node. Don’t worry just on work travel.
Update:
I had a lot fun tonight. They have a Cray computer, a boat they are building, and 3D printer.
A wood sign with their logo.
A boat they are building using lightweight construction techniques,
A mendel printer they built and use.
And what maker space would be complete without the Cray computer.

Just plugged in the joystick and install jstest-gtk and the PS3 joystick works for a joystick in Ubuntu.

Oh man! Tonight was a fantastic meeting with the Makerspace. I am so glad that so many people were able to come and join us. Last week we wired up the LED cube to our breadboard with the shift registers and started really working on the code to do stuff with the LED’s. Tonight we continued with the work on the code and we captured a few videos of the code we had worked up. I will add the videos at a later time. Thanks again for everyone who came! It was really great.

…mostly 
Tonight was awesome! We got the Cube completed, the circuitry is completed, the code works and just needs to be fleshed out for controlling the cube. We also got part of the actual cube wired up (in no distinct order right now) and tried out the code.
Here are a couple of videos of the Cube
The cube with the lights off.
The first run of the 8″ cube
We will be getting together next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel.

Hello everyone! We worked on the code that would drive our now completed 8x8x8 Cube! I have checked in the code to google code and you are more than welcome to check it out at
https://code.google.com/p/gj-makerspace-cube/
All you need to do is check out the code from there, and you have to have the Arduino IDE and open the .ino file in the Arduino IDE. That’s it!
We will be working some more on the project this week, so come on by and check it out!!

Happy Holidays everyone! We have decided to postpone further work on the cube until January 3rd. Everyone enjoy your holiday season and we will hopefully see you next year!

We have just the final layer of the 8″ LED cu e to solder together! We also worked on some code that might be able to drive the LED cube, and with a big thanks to Karl, we now have an example layout of the circuit that will select the layers. Come join us this Thursday again and lets see if we can’t get this thing going!

Hey everyone! We’re going to be working on the smaller LED cube tonight at the same place as last week. We are almost finished putting the smaller cube together, we have 6 out of the 8 layers put together!
Soon we should have a cube to wire up and start the programming.
