Trondheim Maker Faire 2014 was great!

Thanks to all those organisers who made this awesome event possible!

After we set up our stand in the morning, we were busy until the very end. There was constant buzz of kids around, who wanted to try the ROV and steer it into one of the bucket-caves we set up in the pool. Just around closing time a managed to have a quick tour of the other stands. So nice to see all this creativity around, reminds me of the Chaos Communication Camp in 2011.

PS: talking about the Chaos Communication Camp, who from Trondheim region would be interested in going there next year? I set up an etherpad here: https://pad.fnordig.de/p/trdccc15

Getting ready for the Trondheim Maker Faire

Last preparations for the upcoming Trondheim Maker Faire 2014. In order to display the Raspberry Pi / Teensy 3.1 based submersible ROV, I bought a used 3m diameter inflatable pool. This should give us enough space to demonstrate the little buddy.

The ROV got a slight face-lift by adding proper motor-pods and casings for the cables. The ballast stones tied to the bottom got replaced by a rusty old chain in casings. Better solution pending …
