First meetup for vibro-byte

2/12/08 Meetup for design ideas (8pm dcc area by bottom of 308)

(8pm-9pm) if you think another time tuesday is better, post it

In class we decided 8pm was a time everyone could meet on Tuesday. I have class until 4pm Kyle 21:57, 10 February 2008 (EST)

Beginning design work for the "vibro-byte"

- show basics of charging mechanism, build inductive charging mechanism and stuff

Dane's inductance demo uploaded to vimeo

- think of ideas we might want to add to each thing (add an addressable rgb led?)

RGB LEDs are too expensive ($1.59, $1.95). Two or three surface mount LEDs would probably be best.

- (bring your laptop, for looking up parts / part numbers)

The Minty Boost uses a MAX756, ~$2.32 in quantities of 100

- someone should bring a camera, to grab some pictures of whatever we come up with
