hi, I will be at the space this evening - looking forward to the
discussions :)


> This weeks Themed Thursday will be an evening looking at various things
> to cause or sense movement.
>
> We will have some motors, servos and steppers (at least one of each) and
> example control systems to have a play with (and hopefully people who
> understand them to have a chat with).
>
> On the sensing side we have accelerometers and some ideas around making
> potentiometers from conductive ink.
>
> There was talk a while ago of building a communication system that pulls
> on string for its physical layer. This talk might continue and perhaps
> even get as far as some action.
>
> Bring along anything you have to make or sense movement (anyone got a
> collection of solenoids? Some hydraulic or pneumatic rams? Does anybody
> know what they're doing with the mechanical side of things?
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkQ2pXkYjRM), or movement related
> problems or hair brained schemes.
>
> I won't be around next Thursday (13th). Any volunteers to run something?
> The organising can be as simple as committing to being there and
> announcing a topic you're interested in (or as complicated as you like).
