GADGETs Lab Founder @ LabZero Shenzhen China with Mitch Altman (noisebridge HackerSpace San Francisco USA, co-founder)

Here we go…….

F. Dandy Menor    &   Mitch Altman  @  Labzero Shenzhen, China

Looks like F. Dandy with the thumbs-up, said,  I will have my own Makerspace /Hackerspace too.

Mitch Altman is the co-founder of noisebridge hackerspace in San Francisco, USA and visited LabZero in Shenzhen, China last October 14, 2017 where foreign and Chinese Makers / Hackers joined the event.

Mitch Altman talk about  Makerspace/Hackerspace in the USA, Europe, and China.

Guys – don’t miss to visit LabZero when you pass by HK / Shenzhen China.  If you need an assistant to your hardware Start-up,  that you think LabZero can help,  don’t hesitate to contact them.

Watch Labzero weekly meet-up at their youtube Channels here.

Watch Mitch Altman live in youtube:   Talk about the value of Hackerspace 

GADGETs Lab MakerSpace / HackerSpace – – Baguio City

NAIMBAG NGA ALDAW YO AMIN NGA TAGA BAGUIO (Good Day to all Baguio people).

I am proud to announce the upcoming opening of GADGETs Lab in Baguio City – this will be our HackerSpace / MakerSpace on top of the mountain in the City of Pines- the summer capital fo the Philippines.

GADGETs Lab Baguio is for the :

  1.  Maker Community in Baguio City and/or nearby cities/town
  2. Students
  3. Technician
  4. Engineers
  5. Scientist
  6. Hobbyist & real bloody Hobbyist
  7. general electronics community
  8. or anyone to be a geek or part of the Maker community
  9. those guys who feel bored and like to do something meaningful

We will be starting with electronics, as we did in GADGETs Lab Dasmarinas Cavite,  and we will expand to woodworking, metals, arts…….. or even biology if we have the equipment and support.

But we are alone right now, so we start where we have the equipment,  technical know-how, and capacity.

GADGETs Lab Dasma equipped with basic and good equipment and thank you to our donors.  Now, we are looking for benefactors and good Samaritans, to help us make this plan, I hope that you will support the GADGETs Lab Baguio City, we need your help to make this plan TATA (Talk-Action,  Talk-Action)   and not simply :

  1. NATO  (No Action Talk Only).
  2. NINA (Nice Idea No Action)
  3. TTLI  (Talk & Talk Lacks Implementation)

GADGETs Lab founder + friends are a dreamer – a real hardcore dreamer and they make their dreams come true.

Marami’ng SALAMAT PO!

Let’s try Arduino platform and experienced the plug-and-play hardware, software code & IDE

Guys – a new adventure in this year 2017 by Learning Arduino Platform to power-up and gear-up my electronics project – the plug & play hardware, software code & IDE and the community.   Here are my videos :

I.  Project Introduction :

II.  Basic Interfacing with Arduino Uno

III.  Project  Documentation

If you don’t get it,  or you do not have the patience to watch all the 3 introductory Videos,  here is the description:

Project Description: 

The Arduino Automatic Test Equipment for the DR100W project, simply called AATTED  is an Arduino hardware configure as Automatic Test Equipment for the DR100W concept Project.

The DR100W concept project is a completed project runs by Intel 8051 core MCU and its dedicated audio modules and runs our developed firmware.  It is a modern designed Amplifier – we called it MY MusicMATE intended for home use and it is a platform to study hardware,  MCU programming, modular board integration, HW/SW problem solving and solutions.

The AATED is designed to test this Project  24/7,  365 days.

Project Name :

  • Brand Name :  AATED
  • Model Name :  Arduino ATE
  • Model Number :  AATED

Technology Platform :

The technology platform use in this Trainer / Project is the Arduino platform (IDE, Sketch, Shield & BoB with the global community).

It will make use of the available Arduino hardware, like Arduino Uno, MEGA2560, shields, and Break-Out-Boards. I will be using the Arduino Uno as the basic modular board and will attach appropriate shield or BoB.

Features :

  • Arduino Uno controlled Automatic Test Equipment for a class-d power       amplifier
  • 20×4 LCD Display with blue backlight
  • Menu Driven Function Selection Real Time clock : Hour / Minute / Second
  • Real Time clock : Hour / Minute / Second
  • Customized MMI (Man Machine Interface)
  • Fully Programmable Function for Testing
  • 24/7 Automatic Test on the Target UUT
  • Ideal for Learning System Integration of modular
  • board (Shield / BoB = Break Out Boards)
  • designed for STARTERS with Interfacing boards

Optional :
with Bluetooth, BLE

Expandability :
– IoT expandable with ESP8266 / ESP32
– use of TFT LCD 4.2 inches (3.2 inch)

Application:

The idea is just a demonstration (well, I’ll have to make it work, I mean a real one  and functionally working),  you can adapt the idea and use in your project for an Automated Test Equipment (ATE),  believe me,  I have sued this idea in real job in Manufacturing Automation.

 

Interested with AATED?

Goodluck & Happy DIY, happy programming.
