Driving a Sphero Robot with Node.js - SEMS next meeting will be at 4pm in Revolution Bar this Saturday 12th April. Learn how to control a http://www.gosphero.com/ spherical robot using the JavaScript language. You'll learn how to using bi-direction data streams to send and receive data in real-time from the robot. You'll also get a introduction to Node.js and how you can use it to talk to hardware via the serial port. This talk will be given by Richard Rodger of NearForm.

Mad Maker Tuesdays will now be running from 7-9pm every Tuesday at South East Makerspace. This is an opportunity to bring your projects, whatever it is you are tinkering on and work on them in a group environment. This could be anything from an arduino based project to hardware hacking, digital or interactive art, programming, sound art, circuit bending, photography or knitting. The list is endless. If you are not working on anything in particular why not just come along, meet up, share ideas and most importantly, have some fun.

The next monthly meeting is on this Saturday, 14/06 in the SEMS building, 4 Thomas Hill, Waterford at 4pm (the old Munster Express printing press).
There are no talks for this month as our AGM is due to take place. It will be almost a year to the day that the constitution was ratified unanimously and the committee was elected. Since that day a year ago we have accomplished a lot as a group. Monthly talks on a wide variety of topics from high altitude balloon launches to pinhole photography have been run, involvement arranged in several upcoming festivals, a physical space has been acquired and most importantly makers from the south east have been brought together to work on projects and share ideas. We hope to continue this work over the coming year, if you are interested in joining come along to the meeting or drop by any Tuesday evening to the space between 19:00-21:00 for our open maker night.
