[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

Sun Jan 15 01:26:33 UTC 2012

So we started the build on friday. We have a very impressive frame already.
It was great fun to actually start the build.

Next task will be to square of the threaded rods. Should take a half a day.
With luck we can also start work on the z axis, maybe.

The next meeting will be on the
http://www.electronclub.org/webcalendar/month.php?year=2012&month=02.

As always everyone is welcome. We also love arduinos, so if you just want
to disuses/ play with them that is cool too.

Any thanks for everyone who managed to attend the rather impromptu meeting
and look forward to next time.

There is a some picture here.
