Meetup in the Netherlands - Saturday July 30th, in Breda!

[GertSanders]

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 :confused: We can pay via paypal. Is it possible?

[Yveaux]

@Koresh that shouldn't be blocking!
I'll check what options are possible. I'll get back ASAP.

[Yveaux]

@Koresh paypal should be added as payment option in about 2 weeks.
I'll report back when it's operational, OK?

ОК. Can you register us right now? :) We will pay asap.

[Yveaux]

@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

[Yveaux]

@the-cosmic-gate great! Hardware designs are always appreciated :+1:

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

[sincze]

@the-cosmic-gate
Aha ho-even... Count me in from oudenbosch :)

[TheoL]

@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?

[sincze]

@TheoL Hi Theo, maybe you can make some pictures of your sensors and give a nice presentation???

[TheoL]

@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?

[TheoL]

@AWI will you be attending as well?

[Yveaux]

@TheoL we're still looking for people who want to tell /present something. Would you like to show it there?

[TheoL]

@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.

[TheoL]

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,

[Yveaux]

@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!
