We are Make Hack Void, a Hackerspace* in Canberra, Australia.
Our space (Map) is a community workshop in Downer where members can come to work on their projects, get access to tools and expertise, and meet like-minded people. We have membership options including associate & student membership rates, and casual membership rates.
We also hold Maker Meetups on the 1st, 3rd & 5th Tuesdays of each month where anyone at all can chat, show and tell, get help or advice, and talk about their projects. You don't have to be a member to come to a Meetup.
Our group includes people with extremely diverse interests. Fibreglass moulds to FPGA electronics, Arduinos to DIY pizza ovens. Plus lots more. We're all interested in making things, hacking on projects, and we're not afraid of voiding warranties if we have to.
If you can't make it to the next meeting then subscribe to the Makers mailing list, follow us on Twitter, Facebook, or join us in the IRC channel.
SMD Reflow Oven

SMD Reflow Oven
Background
This project is to convert a fairly ordinary (read below - there is some caveats) Toaster Oven into an SMD Reflow Oven. To accomplish this, I've decided to combine an Arduino Mega (I have a few idle Rev A 1280's and need the I/O Ports for...) , a 3.2" TFT Touch Screen interface, some Thermocouples + Associated Hardware and the Australian Robotics Smart Relay Shield .

Relocate async writing from HardwareSerial to Device_TX. HardwareSerial & Display_Monochrome implement this, and all subclasses now support async text support.
Heads up!
As a result of the above change, the asyncWrite() calls to HardwareSerial are no longer supported, and instead are replaced by write() calls inherited from Device_TX.
Maker Meetup, June 21
angusgr — Thu, 23/06/2011 - 11:39pm
Maker Meetups have been a bit quiet since the winter weather set in, although we've now bought an industrial heater - it should arrive before the first July meetup. On Tuesday, about a dozen intrepid Makers braved the shortest day of the year - bringing UAV kit, Arduino-powered synths, nerf guns, server testing and lots of nerdy talk.
(Details & photos after the cut.)
