A couple months ago we had the pleasure of having the founder of Maui Makers visit our space. This is their story.

Enjoy! We promise to openSource everything once we get it a little more sorted. Pictures / build logs / parts lists / specifications will be posted soon. (Forgive the quick write-up.) While the game worked great, we do have future plans (hints below).

Here’s the first hackerspace: NYC Resistor. (I guess this would be episode 2)

From Vimby:
“This episode will serve as the introduction to the series and concept. In the coming weeks each hackerspace will have an individual episode devoted to their projects.”
“Thanks for all of your hard work in making this such an entertaining and interesting series. Special thanks to Mitch Altman for all of his hard work and guidance throughout the process.”

So, we’re all currently working away on the aforementioned Hackerspace Build-Off, but we’re not allowed to give out any details of it until after it airs. I’ll just say that things are going well so far, but we have a long way to go. 
Anyways, given the moratorium on posting images and progress updates publicly for a while, here’s a picture of Max with a Mariachi Band to keep you all entertained.

Another quick preview of the progress being made on the MAME cabinets. This is only semi-close to the final profiles, but you may enjoy the progress with my permission.
Also, I need to mention that this is a collaborative effort with Tim. Tim the CAD expert. Thanks Tim.

It’s been a little slower then planned as we have been swamped with other projects. However I will present this sacrifice of a semi-completed control panel layout. Enjoy!
Mr. Exposure – Progress

For those that have been around in the last couple weeks you have probably seen hints of a PCB exposure box. Here are a couple pictures of the progress. This week we did SUCCESSFULLY expose, develop, and ETCH a test board. This process was sped along with the help of the beginnings of our new friend Mr.Exposure. Whom is currently about 80% complete. (We still need to etch his timing circuits and add his decals.)
For those interested here are the ‘Mr.Exposure’ specifics:
2) 250 watt halogens (UV filters removed)
2) Separate, Fused TRIAC control circuits
Able to expose single or double sided boards up to about 7″x9″
Will be controlled by a arduino or atiny. (total overkill, I know)
Exposes pre-sensitized boards in about 4-6 minutes
Cut/Routed from 1/2″ MDF
The total cost was around $40 (including minimalist arduino / etc). We could get this down to about $30, but where is the fun in that?
