The team behind the Dublin Maker festival have launched a podcast. Season one is out fully now. We are delighted to have three of our members interviewed over the course of the season.
Listen back to the whole season on https://dublinmaker.buzzsprout.com/ or anywhere you get your podcasts.
Because of COVID, we can’t hold our regular open social but we have a solution. We have a virtual place to meet. All you need is a browser (firefox is best) and an internet connection. This works on Computers and smartphones.
Mozilla Hubs is an experimental, VR-friendly platform and a tool for communicating and collaborating privately, and allows you to connect with people and bring in resources from around the internet for meetings and virtual events.
We will release the link on tog.ie at 7pm on Saturday, 15th August.
Let’s meet and talk about projects we are workong on or would like to work on. Or share some cool new tech or nice craft projects you found.
The project is to create an outdoor stop motion camera that can be powered over one cable and we can connect to remotely to monitor building site.
Software we are running on on Pi is Raspberry and the image capture is imgcomp by Matthias-Wandel https://github.com/Matthias-Wandel/imgcomp (very easy and well documented how to setup)
Things left to do:
Mount camera on off stands so camera is closer to camera filter.
Setup backup fo images nightly to google drive (rclone) https://rclone.org/
A few weeks ago our space as packed for the annual Science Hack Day Dublin. A load of great projects were built over the weekend. Check out the video of the presentations.

All Tog public events are cancelled until the 5th of April.
Tog is continuing to take measures to protect our members and the general public and by following advice from the HSE. The National Public Health Emergency Team has advised that individuals should reduce discretionary social contacts as much as possible.
In light of this advice, we have decided to cancel all open-door public events in the space until the 5th of April. These are all group nights and open social.
The space will remain open to our members in a limited capacity. Please do not show up unannounced as a visitor.
We are exploring options to move some events online and we will be putting together resources on social media to share some hacking and making skills while the public events are curtailed.
It will be a challenging time for our community and society at large. We are open to hearing ideas (email info@tog.ie ) from you on making the most of the current situation and keeping our community strong.
We send our best wishes to the medical staff who are dealing with this crisis and we encourage everyone to follow HSE advice.
An experimental audio research & performance group, a place for artists, dreamers, geeks, hackers, nerds, outcasts, weirdos, rebels and scientists to experiment and create. Everything from circuit bending to instrument design and creation. Everyone welcome no matter the experience level. Come learn and share but most importantly have some fun. Bonus points for bringing instruments to play.
There will be a PA and mixer along with a few crazy instruments on the night to play around with.
Join us on the 2nd Tuesday of each month for the next six months as we explore our musical interests and experiments. For more details check out the event on meetup link below.
