Tapestry Lift Access
The Tapestry lift is now being replaced with a much better one, which is excellent as the previous platform lift wasn’t up to the job and was often out of action. Unfortunately that means there is now no lift access to our space until early November.
Our initial plan for a temporary accessible space fell through but we’re working hard on finding another. (More detail in ‘somebody should’ issue #1833.)
We’ll continue to post updates on our socials and in this Google group.
October Start Boost Membership

I've been trying out some conductive fabric I bought from @CMoz a while ago. This is a machine embroidered felt starfish, with conductive ripstop underneath. I used it with an #adafruit CAP1188 as a proximity sensor – good to have something that works through windows!#WeekNotespic.twitter.com/OCjBHWsb2v

Plastic Playgroup (DoES Workshop)
In a world with mountains of plastic and molehills of play, let’s get our spades out and shift the balance.
Make new things from abandoned plastic with us. Plantpots, purses … pedalos?
Shred plastic. Blend it. Meld scraps together with a heat gun. Make sheets. Laser cut it. CNC it. Stitch potato bags together with soldering iron? Make fabrics with a regular iron? What have we got, what can we make? We don’t know – let’s figure it out!
Two rules:
1. No Objectives – this is an aimless and wandering session.
2. Bring Your Own Initiative – this is an active session and we’ll help you get creative.
Every two weeks on a Sunday afternoon, between 2pm and 5pm.

@amcewen Today’s task: investigating point-to-point protocols running over LoRa (i.e. explicitly not LoRaWAN)
I’ve been poking around lots of LoRa #Arduino libraries as part of this, and smiling gently to myself as I keep encountering the “beginPacket(); write(); endPacket();” pattern that I introduced in the Ethernet library when adding UDP..
Nice to encounter faint ripples of past me #weeknotes
Jackie Pease Trying out the #inkstitch#sashiko extension on Fred, the @DoESLiverpool embroidery machine at #makernight. I heat pressed salvaged blue bubble wrap and used baking parchment as a stabiliser (I’m hoping I’ll be able to soak it off afterwards). It works better than I expected and I might look around for some more eco thread. #WeekNotes
