We may be able to get Random Storm to come back and run another workshop. We do have picks and a box of locks for practicing on though, so the facilities are always available.

Comment on Diagnosing Laser Cutter Alignment Problems by Paul Brook

Maybe an even better solution is to use a desk that can actually support the weight of the laser cutter.

It’s our 1 year anniversary for being in Mabgate Green -we actually moved in on Star Wars day.
Leeds HackSpace was originally founded 29/07/2009 so we’re heading towards our 4th year in existence :)

There are plans for cake and pizza; bring your own booze.

I don’t understand what hardware you’re referring to in relation to my capability (or lack thereof).

As for your difficulty in using the code tags and pre tags, I wonder if there’s some wordpress setting or browser plugin you’re using that’s stopping you. Because I can put them in after you’ve posted.

I’m having massive problems getting it to display the quick edit codes (as it does for me when I’m logged in).
/me expresses vague rage at wordpress.

-you’ve made it through the mod queue on the mailing list, though :)

I posted it to the mailing list instead. Hope it helps.

Because of a few bugs in your code, that’s all. But the hardware stuff’s impressive. Just joshing, didn’t mean it as an insult!

Could I email you this bit of code I keep trying to post? It’s just not having it, due to the greater / less-than tags disappearing. Feel free to wipe the attempts I’ve made that are clogging up your guest-book.

Bollocks! Ok I’ll try it with code tag

int scale=0; int min=1000, max=0; int potvalue=0; int range=0, scale=0;


void calibrate();
main()

  {

  calibrate();

  while(1)

    {

    potvalue=(ADC1read);  // whatever the ADC read is called!

    printf("Pot is on %d \n", potvalue / scale);

    }

  }

void calibrate { while(button_not_pressed) // exit condition for the loop { potvalue=(ADC1read); // whatever the ADC read is called! if(potvaluemax) max=potvalue; } range=max-min; scale=range/10; }

Ok, tried it with pre tags. It didn't mention them in the bit below the text box, or I would have. Anyway here goes! Hope it's some use!
