Über uns
We do free classes on the arduino, web development, and whatever else we can get into. All classes are about you having fun and learning how to build cool stuff. I love this stuff and I just want to share the love. So don't worry about your experience level come on down and take a class and have fun. All classes are free but we do take donations to help us pay for electronic parts, we also take leds, arduino boards that work, raspberry pi, etc.
We also want to eventually do some outreach to the community. I love to start a program to help younger people learn how to build electronics. I am thinking we could help start a high school or middle school club. I would also love to have charity based hack a thons, I think we could team up with a lot of good people and do a look of good. I love to get a good group together to start positively impacting the community.
PS I want to have find the can robot competitions and battle bot competitions as well.

HABEX2 - High Altitude Balloon Flight - Design Update - Hybrid
Diogenes Makerspace, 13800 Dragline Dr, Austin, TX, USThis is the monthly design status and update meeting. Participation is both in person and online.
Members of Austin Physics for Fun are now involved in the effort. -- https://www.meetup.com/physics-1/
The meeting will be held at a private makerspace, Diogenes. It is located in the same building as the adult club Colette Austin. The door is at the left end of the building, Suite C. Go to the back of the first floor workspace and head upstairs.
.If you have questions please feel free to submit them in the comments below or send them to me directly.
Zoom meeting details will be posted about a half hour before the meeting begins.
HABEX - High Altitude Balloon Experiments
The reference to experiments is two-fold. The first is in regard to the actual balloon construction and flight processes. The second is a reference to the payload and what it does during the flight (e.g. images, environmental measurements, etc.). To be clear, there will be two design processes going on in parallel, the balloon proper and the payload. This initial flight is really focusing on the balloon to get that process pinned down and clearly defined. The initial payload should be simple (e.g. digital camera taking pictures).
One of the primary design considerations will be the use of CanSat techniques in the design and construction process. We may need to build a technology demonstrator for this (i.e. dummy payload) before the actual flight process.
CanSat -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CanSat
Design Process:
Design/Buy > Assemble > Test > Loop (Will it fly?) > Flight Plan
Meeting Sequence:
Pilot - Initial meeting (possibly two) to gauge interest and get first round of participants.
Design - Group responsible for the first four stages of the Design Process. - Multiple meetings.
Pre-Flight - Review process to date and verify readiness - Set the date of launch - Possibly two meetings
Launch - Two teams (Launch and Recovery)
Clean up - Launch team cleans up launch site and transitions to tracking and telemetry
Recovery - Recovery team (possibly several groups) chases the balloon and tries to stay ahead of it.
Post-Flight - Review, analysis, and release of flight report (including experimental results if any).
Flight Plan:
- Pre-Flight
- Schedule
- Assembly
- Launch
- Tracking
- Recovery
- Review/Release Results
Constraints:
- COVID 19
- Budget
- Resources/Tools/Facilities
- Legal (e.g. FAA rules about weight and number of modules)
- People
- Transportation
