Rock the magic of electronics with Oomlout prototyping!?! Yes please.
Whether you’re a guru or have 0 (zero) experience come out and and try building some circuits with this scalable kit. The parts it’s composed of are exactly what you’d find in real equipment and are a great way to add electrical zip to your next project. For more info about this do a search for Oomlout. Meetings are held every Friday from 1:30 to 4:30 in FIR207 (or across the hall in FR205) until exams eat us all.

Plan for 2013
Making it the real way…..
Over the last few meetings we’ve focused on getting our space together and modding this robot arm. In the next few weeks we’re going to prototype a garbage sorting machine to solve the world’s energy crisis grind through the administivia of getting a degree.
We’re getting some kits in and will start up the micro work shops for reals this time in the new year. The first focus is on making things move any which way you want.
