Each week we’ll endeavour to publish some details of the interesting things that members of DoES Liverpool have been up to over the past seven days. You can find out a bit more about them in our introductory post.
And remember, if you’re involved with DoES Liverpool at all, let us know what you get up to so we can include it here!
Things of Note
- Adrian McEwen: Getting back into the #weeknotes habit on the MCQN Ltd blog: Weeks 672-676 – Project Echoes dlvr.it/QkTM9c
- John McKerrell: I’m slightly worried that one day we’ll have a major fire in DoES Liverpool and someone will just file a GitHub issue “The laser cutter has been on fire for 30 minutes but no-one has put it out #urgent” #weeknotes github.com/DoESLiverpool/…
- DoES Liverpool: (Almost) finished apron, made by Xiaorong Li at @doesliverpool, and modelled by Liam Comerford #weeknotes pic.twitter.com/afz4qIGJIf
- Jackie Pease: Thanks to The Gimbal Guy for this great looking camping stove he brought into DoES Liverpool earlier. Good for #biomaterials and no doubt loads of other stuff too #weeknotes pic.twitter.com/cuonZR55ke
- Alex Lennon: Really pleased with today’s work. I made a Resin.io based streaming camera with a Raspberry Pi, webcam and GStreamer. Streams to Restream from where we can send onto Twitch, @youtube, Facebook Live etc. #weeknotes Matthew Croughan Ross Dalziel Jackie Pease Julian Todd pic.twitter.com/TLNrYuEMkV
