💬 MySensors @Eindhoven Maker Fair 2017 2-3 September

[topgun78]

I partecipated to Makers Fair in Eindhoven last weekend and it's where I fell in love with this community. I am quite enthusiastic of such environment where people share their precious know how and manage to make things apparently 'only for few' become accessible for a moltitude.
Thanks to the guys at the desk of the fair to be so friendly and patient especially for ppl like me saturating them with all kind of questions.

I started with a quick overview of the dollhouse node.

Makes me wish I lived in europe. Unfortunately I live in the US and have never seen a maker fair near where I live. I guess I could check sometime if there may be one in Madison, Milwaukee or Chicago. I think it would be so interesting. Would have LOVED to be there for the MySensors booth. Is there any videos posted anywhere?

[ArduiSens]

Great job guys, I saw many interested people.
The setup of the automated doll house was fascinating, also my son loved the sensor house (with the ghost)
Only this, I saw myself in one of taken pictures but unfortunately without the MySensor t-shirt ;-(

We now have a small video collage up on youtube from the faire.

[Yveaux]

@dbemowsk it was a one time batch for the Faire only. Sorry.

[dbemowsk]

@Yveaux Bummer, I kind of like those.

This weekend there is a Maker Faire that is happening in Milwaukee Wisconsin. My wife and I were going to go to this. I had the tickets, car loaded, heading out of town and the transmission blew in our SUV. Had to call a tow truck to get us back to town. I was so looking forward to this as it would have been my first Maker Faire. I guess there is always next time.

Oh man, that sucks especially for the transmission and the ruined day 🙁

[dbemowsk]

@gohan It was a 2 day Faire. The 23rd and 24th. It sucks because I was so pumped to go.

[gohan]

I'm sure you were. The legendary reliability of the American transmissions strikes again 😅

[dbemowsk]

@gohan Well, it was an Acura that is mad by Honda, so it wasn't exactly american. The vehicle does have 201,000 miles on it though. You'd never guess from looking at it though.

[gohan]

well, I guess the milage is quite a lot also for a Japanese :D
