1Sheeld freebie for The Makerhive?

[captaininfosec]

This looks like it may be something folks would enjoy playing with at the Arduino classes (especially for free and a chance to win a printer) - 1sheeld.com/makerspaces/

Their sales pitch is: "Sheeld turns your smart phone capabilities into a generic Arduino shield, you can sense the environment and grab the data with the sensor shields, trigger the Arduino and communicate remotely with it using the communication shields, use the smart phone touch screen and capabilities with Arduino with the special shields, and have fun on Facebook or twitter with the social media shields."

Sounds fun to me!

Sweet! That would be a cool thing to cover in an Arduino class.

I was just thinking about an RFID reader that would count how many members came in. I wonder if this could detect how many phones came in. As long as Blue tooth was on maybe. i may enter that Idea. Are these available for sale yet?

That looks like a lot of fun. Plus codebender.cc is the greatest. Is someone registering the Makerhive for this?

If you have a good idea in mind, go ahead. Otherwise I plan to in the morning.
I want to come up with some type of Membership tracking and possibly a welcome announcement pop up on the Google cast screen when member arrive. But not sure how to go about doing that.

I entered us this morning, if we get turned down we can try again with a different Idea.

We should have a 1Shield by the end of the week.

Nicely done! It'll be fun to see this show up in the next Arduino class as a challenge.

very cool.

[BeeAmaker]

Surprisingly they sent me 2!

So which MakerHive members is up to the challenge of programing it?

[msizemore]

Alright, this thing is pretty fun. I'll bring it in tomorrow night. It's possibly too easy to use. Check out my example code.

Look forward to seeing it.

I'll bring a project tomorrow night to enter this contest (due by Friday). Can someone take decent cell phone video and edit it on the fly tomorrow night?

[BeeAmaker]

I might be able to.

[ZionPhil]

I can tonight.
