> Hello everyone, Good turnout with 21 attendees, and lots of huddles-of tech-talk. $33 + change (in gold, and flat-money) collected and transferred into the robotics loose-change jar (for later banking). All sales from the trading table should go into the brown box on the wall, and are directly for the benefit of our host club, Christchurch Amateur Radio Club, NZART Branch 05. Equipment donations are welcome for the trading table, but no CRT based product, printers, toner or items that are likely to be a disposal burden. With thanks on behalf of the group, Mark Atherton ========== Mark opened the evening by talking about some of the issues of bare-metal FPGA to SDRAM interfacing for video applications. Darren started off with a rehearsal-talk about component-level repair of a phone. The component of interest was in a BGA package. Part of the process involved removing and attempting to dis-assemble the binary held in the BGA FLASH device. Fascinating, and scary ! Levine talked about a small business he has started creating recycled plastic sheets from discarded plastic milk bottles. He went into detail about his production process as well as part of the business model. Incredibly diverse skills required for this project, as well as a tenacious attitude towards dealing with executives in the milk-industry. Michael gave us an update on his various projects including the house automation system, upgrades to his CNC machines, and a very interesting cable failure associated with some older wiring. _______________________________________________ Chchrobotics mailing list Chchrobotics at lists.ourshack.com https://lists.ourshack.com/mailman/listinfo/chchrobotics Mail Archives: http://lists.ourshack.com/pipermail/chchrobotics/ Meetings usually 3rd Monday each month.
