Local Hack Day @ CovHackSoc

About

Major League Hacking is organising one massive, distributed Hackathon.

Us at @CovHackSoc are running on of the local events, here at Coventry in EC2-12.

Us

We're the Hackathon Society, registered with CUSU. We go by CovHackSoc and have weekly meetings in EC1-03 on Tuesdays at 6pm.

Schedule

  • 8:00 - Doors Open
  • 8:30 - Openning Presentations
  • 9:00 - Hacking Starts
  • 10:00 - Workshop 1
  • 11:00 - Workshop 2
  • 12:00 - Lunch Break
  • 13:00 - Workshop 3
  • 14:00 - Workshop 4
  • 19:00 - Dinner break
  • 20:30 - Hacking ends and demo projects
  • 21:00 - Event Over.

Hardware Avaliable

  • 2 Raspberry Pi Zeros
  • An original Raspberry Pi + IR Camera module
  • An OU SenseBoard (Some Sensors + A Stepper motor :)). We have working code for it, and know of the docs you'll need to use it.
  • A DragonBoard
  • A DanceMat (Instant Hackathon Winner ;)) Easy to work with from Python.
  • TinyFPGA B2 (More challenging to use)
  • Ardunio Uno
  • 8x8 LED Matrix Display (pretty!)
  • GPS Module (Hooks directly onto an Ardunio. Can integrate with google earth if you make it talk over serial)
  • RTL-SDR with a Dipole Antenna set (Good range, should be able to pick up 50Mhz to ~ 1.1 Ghz with what I've got). If you're willing to build an antenna, you can reach into HF.
  • A Wii Remote (Check you can get drivers. No Sensebar, but might be worth looking into providing your own infrared sources)
  • 2 PlayStation Eye cameras (Good for OpenCV projects)
  • Amazon Echo Dot
  • 2 ESP8266.

Please try to bring cables, as I lack of some them.

(This is my personal stuff, so do get it back to me!)
