Meetup in the Netherlands - Saturday July 30th, in Breda!
-
On the topic of presenting something, I can present in english if that is what the crowd wants.
Here is another idea: I have been wanting to buy some flash memory for my boards, but the transport price to Belgium kills it for me when ordering low amounts (Mouser charges 18 USD, Digikey charges 20 USD). However if several people want some flash memory IC's for their boards maybe we could do a group buy and distribute the loot during the meetup ? Any fans for this idea ?
Specifically I would like to buy some AT25DF512C-SSHN-B
-
I tried to register me and and Yury some minutes ago. But I don't know any of avaliable payment systems
We can pay via paypal. Is it possible?
-
@Koresh that shouldn't be blocking!
I'll check what options are possible. I'll get back ASAP.
-
@Koresh paypal should be added as payment option in about 2 weeks.
I'll report back when it's operational, OK?
-

We will pay asap.
-
@Koresh chat me your real and forum names and I'll arrange your reservation upfront.
-
COOOOOL just 10 min driving for me !And maybe can arrange some people to take some home made (open-hardware) PCB's
-
@the-cosmic-gate great! Hardware designs are always appreciated
Don't forget to register upfront BTW!

Sure, and it's @CM i read .... ( NAC Breda sponsor )The idea is that some people who designed some open hardeware PCB's like @GertSanders en off course @TheoL can bring or show there hardware .
And people can buy it for example
-
@the-cosmic-gate great stuff
on more from the 'local' area. 10 minutes away.. Mmm Teteringen???

( i drive a bit faster then normal )
-
@the-cosmic-gate
Aha ho-even... Count me in from oudenbosch
-
@the-cosmic-gate I'm attending the Meetup, but I'm afraid I won't be able to bring some stuff. But if there are any questions I'm happy to answer them. We could design some MySensors stuff together, like a design-a-ton?
-
@TheoL Hi Theo, maybe you can make some pictures of your sensors and give a nice presentation???
-
@sincze I'm currently working on something. It's not really fance buy I have a lot of fun making it.
Will there be a domoticz controller?
-
@AWI will you be attending as well?
-
@TheoL we're still looking for people who want to tell /present something. Would you like to show it there?
-
@Yveaux I'd love to but then I would have to make a promise I can't keep. The reason why I not have been active in this community for the last couple of months, is because I'm following an online course at San Diego university. This takes up most of my spare time. My employer paid for this so I can't slow down.
At the moment I'm doing the final capstone. Which I hope to finish within 5 weeks. Maybe I'll finish it before the meetup, but most likely I won't. That's not the only reason I want to finish it. I'm taking classes to become a therapist. It's just something I like to do, I'm not gonna do this for a living. The next year starts in September. So if I finish the capstone, I'll have the month of August without any obligations, which sound great for a change.
I just don't want to give you hope that I'll be able to finish my capstone before the meetup and have time left to prepare a good presentation. But I'll promiss I'll bring my latest project. Just don't expect it to be really original.
-
If somebody wants to do a presentation, but has no inspiration for one. I'm interested in the following topic(s):
-
Demo of how to mod a proMini so that it can be run on batteries (like removing the annoying led e.t.c.).
-
The electronics for emulating a touch button (like the one's found in coffee machines). I'd love to MySensorfy my coffee machine
So that I'll wakeup with the smell of fresh coffee... -
Do's and don'ts when writing sketches.
-
Sharing experience of the different Home Automation we all have
-
Present the configuration of your own Home Automation system???
Maybe we can brainstorm about a new awesome sensor. I'll bring me laptop and some electronics with me, so that I can do some coding if needed,
-
-
@TheoL I totally understand! We all use MySensors for our hobby projects, and are in constant struggle to find a balance between private life, hobbys and work (and even more...).
If you manage to have some presentation available on July 30th, then we'll just slip it in on the agenda.
There will also be room for some static display, or just visit and enjoy the day with fellow MySensors enthusiasts!
-
@TheoL Thanks for the ideas!
I still have to prepare a presentation and really appreciate input on which topics people like to hear about.
-
@Yveaux I hope I will make a presentation. I am too busy now too so I do not promise a thorough lecture. But I plan to share some hardware practices with my new boards as examples.
-
@Koresh awesome! Keep us informed so we can balance the topics presented that day.
-
Since I cannot go to the meeting but I already bought a ticket is there anybody who wants a ticket for 10 euro?
I'm selling mine.
-
@Sander-Stolk I'm sorry you hear you can't attend the meeting. But maybe we'll meet another time.
-
@Yveaux Do you know if someone is bringing a MySensor gateway (id=1) and Domoticz? Maybe I can bring my new project with me and demonstrate it. I'm currently bug fixing, but I think it'll be a cool project to show to you guys. Maybe I can explain some of the design choices and some of the code. Because the hardware part is really easy but the coding was a p*1n in the butt. I think I almost pushed my ProMini to the max.
I hope that I can finish it before the 30th so no hard promise. It's still mySensors 1.5.4 but it should work on 2.0 I guess.
-
@TheoL I'll bring an esp gateway (id 0, 2.0.0) running an mqtt client. Not sure if it will fit your needs.
I'll bring some components too, so we can also assemble one on the spot.
Would be great to see your new project, and we'll certainly make room if you want to present something, even if it's not completely finished yet!
-
@Sander-Stolk if you didn't sell your ticket yet, then I would take it. My calender has freed up and I would be happy to join.
-
@27maximilian
Hi, Ticket is still available!
Please PM me so that we can arrange the costs.
-
Ticket is sold!
-
Count me in for the conference. Will fill out the form later.
Let me know if I need to bring some real beerStefaan
-
@stefaanv great! Get your ticket here : https://shop.ticketflow.eu/mysensors/en/
Not sure if the location allows beer
Maybe @sincze can shed some light on the topic?
-
OK, got the ticket.
If the BBQ is still on, I'd like to come with 4 people (2 adults, 2 children). Just let me know what's the price per person.
Looking forward to meet you all.
Can't bring my sensor, it's a chicken shed. I can bring foto's and demo over the internet.
My setup : domoticz on rPi3, MySensors Gateway, RfxCom gateway, Domoticz linked to 3 wago PLC's, some Python code, sketches, c# on mono, etc
-
@stefaanv BBQ depends on the weather and people willing to join. Albert Heijn is just around the corner, so I suggest to just go there and get some meat
-
@Yveaux @stefaanv
Beer we can keep in the fridge for the roof terras.Considering the price for the event at the moment no arrangements for a BBQ.

I would like to thank the organisers as well as all the participants for a very fun and interesting day ! It has given me new insights and inspiration
-
I planned to come over, but my son is sick so I'll had to take care of him ;(
-
First of all I'd like to thank @Yveaux and @sincze for doing a great job for organizing this meeting. And I'd like to thank all the participants for sharing all the things. It was great to meet all of you and you inspired me to keep on promoting this wonderful community.
I also like to thank @stefaanv for sharing the details about how made the mechanics for controlling the chicken shed door. @GertSanders for explaining and demonstrating how he made the SMS gateway/node. And lost but not least @Koresh and Yuri (I forgot your forum name) for the great demonstration of their hardware. And also for the masterclass how to design stable MySensor nodes.
Count me in for the next meeting. It was great to have this international meeting.
-
@GertSanders I'm considering to buy some flash memory, once if've figured out how to add them to my projects. Are you still planning on doing a big order?
-
Did anyone took some pics?
-

-
-
Thanks also from my side. Learned a lot of new things during the meeting. It will take some time to try everything out.
My son caught a lot of PokΓ©mon in Breda (untill the phone battery went flat) and my wife did a lot of shopping, so everybody was happy !
-
@Nca78
Not really a post, but the sketch to use it as a sms node is on OpenHardware.io.
After renovating our kitchen this weeks I will do a full writeup.
-
Hi guys. Yesterday I finally got back home, it was not an easy trip. But it was worth it for me. It was really nice to meet all of you. All presentations were very interesting for me. Thanks to all the speakers for your great work. The presented materials were very various and interesting. I was happy to see interest in our presentation too. It really inspires for further work.
We would like to thank a lot the sponsors and organizators for this excellent meeting.
-
Also from my side many thanks to the organizers, the presenters, and the other participants. I enjoyed the exchange very much and had a great day.
-
From looking through the presentation you guys have created for this event, i can't help but get annoyed at the fact i wasn't there.
What a turn out it looked to have been, i really wished i could have made the event! Proud to be a member for this community is an understatement, fantastic work guys!
-
@Samuel235 Since we all talked English the whole day. It might be an idea that we promote the next meeting as an International meetup. So that every one can decide whether the one attend or not. We all speak English on this form, so that shouldn't be a big problem. The more the merrier.
-
@TheoL - That may be a great idea, however for me, it wasn't the language that was my barrier, i physically couldn't get there unfortunately
-
As a wrap up of the meetup all presentations can now be found through the original invitation document: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1kl2ePoXYCcdfw46TpBS1M4aOUbGConh97QC_Vu3Tys8/edit?usp=sharing
And @sincze added some nice pictures to the end of the presentation!
-
I should have paid better attention because i would have definitely joined!
But to possible make it up a little bit, I will be present at the Eindhoven mini maker fair this weekend (10th and 11th) in case some want to shake hands.
Cheers,
John.

Thanks for the tip! I went there last year and it was a lot of fun!
-
@John I received an e-mail from Kiwi-electroncis in which they announced to Maker Fair. Would loved to have come. But unfortunately I received the invitation a bit too late. Next year I'll be certainly attending the Maker Fair.
-
@TheoL
I will miss the mini maker faire as well (chillin in Ibiza at the moment, familytime)
