M5Stack Workshop presented by Glasgow Makers and Hardware Hackers
M5stack (https://m5stack.com/) is a modular programmable prototyping device which has the ESP32 at its core. M5stack can be programmed with the arduino IDE, esp-idf, micropython and more. In this workshop we will be focusing on using block programming to control the light, sound, images on the screen, sensors etc. To take part, the only thing you need to bring along is a laptop.
This workshop is suited for anyone, even those who are taking their first steps in coding, and maybe are put off by thinking they have to learn lots of typed commands to do even the most basic of things. The Uiflow interface for M5stack (flow.m5stack.com) is designed to lower the creative barrier so that anyone without prior knowledge can get setup making their first IoT application in minutes.
This workshop is free but there are limited spaces so please sign up for a place here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/m5stack-presented-by-glasgow-makers-and-hardware-hackers-tickets-56440681598
If there are no tickets left please add your name to the waiting list and if there is enough demand we will put on an extra workshop.
Arduino Day is a worldwide celebration of Arduino’s birthday. Arduino day is where people interested in Arduino get together, share their experiences, and learn more about the platform. Come along and work on your Arduino projects.
A monthly meet up for makers and hardware hackers in Glasgow. For anyone with an interest in making or hardware hacking regardless of level, beginner to expert. Meet ups will be a mix of demos, talks and teaching.

6-6:45pm:
Curious Chip presents Pip - Jason Frame
Curious Chip make hardware and software for kids, adults, tinkerers, makers and educators. This talk will present Pip, the playful handheld device, powered by Raspberry Pi, you can code yourself. Pip was recently funded on Kickstarter, check out the video here: https://www.kickstarter.com/…/pip-the-playful-handheld-devi…. This talk will detail the origin of Pip right up to it being funded and give a general overview of the technology involved.
6:45-7:30pm:
“It’s not rocket science… oh hang on!” - Blair Thompson
This talk will show how a model rocket is designed, constructed and flown. It will demonstrate the software tools, namely an open sourced design package named open rocket. It will also detail the materials used and construction techniques. Launch footage will replace a practical demonstration for obvious reasons!

6-6:30pm:
Toy Hacking with Node-Red - Martin Goodfellow
This talk will give a brief introduction to hacking the hardware of toys. It will also give an introduction to Node-Red and how it can used on the Raspberry Pi to connect hacked toys to the Internet because why not?
6:30-7pm:
An Introduction to SEG - Jack McGowan
This talk is a brief introduction to the St Andrews Engineering Group (SEG); a student lead society whose aim is to provide members with engineering skills that they wouldn't typically gain with their main studies. The talk will include a discussion on the successes and failures of the society's flagship projects which were the construction of an autonomous vehicle and the launch of a space balloon.
7-7:30pm:
Wekinator with Arduino and Processing - Jen Sykes
This talk/demonstration gives a brief overview of quick interactive prototyping experiments that can be realised using Wekinator; a machine learning tool by Rebecca Fiebrink.
Following demos, talks and workshops we'll head to the Bon Accord for those of us that are over 18.
