Petrol Station Dot Matrix Display
We come from the school of thought that working surplus stuff might well be someone else’s refuse, but if it can be repurposed into something useful, then we’re generally up for the challenge. One of our members was able to recover some dot matrix signs which were used to show the price of petrol(before it needed extra digits because of inflation!) These signs came with no documentation about their display protocol, so one of our members put his software engineering skills to work and reverse...
Automated Hydroponics Enclosure
This project started out as a pile of old hardwood truss and framing timber from a house that was due to be demolished, the owners were giving away what was some nice quality wood hardwood(built back before cheap and light pine was the main goto material). Some of our members packed up some power tools, headed to this demolition site and collected a few sticks of timber that would be the start of the enclosure. One of our members took some of the timber and cleaned it up and built it into a...

Some of our members packed up some power tools, headed to this demolition site and collected a few sticks of timber that would be the start of the enclosure. One of our members took some of the timber and cleaned it up and built it into a trolley like frame which would hold hydroponically grown plants. We then added some electronics into the enclosure to allow us to monitor the temperature and humidity of the grow area, as well as some LEDs to provide increased amounts of light to support the plant growth. Over the time since this enclosure has been built and used, it’s been used in areas with and without access to natural light. We’re currently in the process of trying to optimise the plant growth when natural light is not...
