MAKE In This Issue... MakerBot vs the Easter Bunny at MakerBot UG NY Swim Timer for Late Night Laps More Recent Articles MakerBot vs the Easter Bunny at MakerBot UG NY This past Tuesday, April 3, MUGNY held their “MakerBot vs the Easter Bunny” meetup, which featured chocolate molds, a demo of some printed artifacts scanned from originals using Autodesk's free 123D Catch, an intro to MakerBot's newly launched Design Studio team, and overview of home pewtering and casting, and a talk from Annelise, producer and star of MakerBotTV. Read all about it in the MakerBot blog’s wrap-up, and check out my Flickr set from the event. The chocolate was quite tasty! • Email to a friend • View comments • Track comments • Swim Timer for Late Night Laps Doug had a problem to solve: when he swims early in the morning, there’s not enough light to see the pool’s pace clock at the end of the lane. Like any good maker, he devised his own solution. He built a waterproof swim timer that uses an LED display to show your time. He also added a button to switch into a mode to time individual sets without disrupting the total time. The brain inside the clock is a ATmega328P with the Arduino bootloader and Doug says that he can get 100 hours of usage out of four AA batteries. Full code, schematics and build instructions are available for perusal on his site. Doug, from one swimmer/maker to another, I salute you!
